The job market is terrible
Terrible if you don't have anything to offer.
employers take advantage of desperate people to work long hours with low pay
Always been the case. Welcome.
houses are too expensive, even in the countryside
Because you live in fucking shithole liberal city and now these Liberals are fleeing it. That's not everywhere the case.
it's too expensive to start a family (you're basically punished for having children)
The federal government literally pays you to have children. Up to $8k per child every year (depending on your income).
You can flee Canada and move to the US, but there is a high chance that you would also end up in a Democrat controlled city with a tent belt around it for the homeless and five times the crime rate of Toronto. Or you can "pull yourself up your bootstraps" and find a community here in Canada. Move to the Prairies, offer something only a few people have (mechanical or agricultural engineering degree, something oil related) and you will find the future you want. You will probably work in Calgary, Edmonton, Saskatoon or Regina but just 30 to 45 min away from these cities you can find dozens and dozens of small towns with 1000 to 2000 people. I live in such a town. A four bedroom house is $300k or less, every family has two to four children and they run around all day on the streets, a single school building for all grades, classes aren't bigger than 20 students, half the town goes to church on Sunday, crime rate is almost zero (there isn't even a RCMP station in the town I live), I can leave my door or truck unlocked and I know every single person on the street I live on by name.
But I have the feeling that in two or three years you will be still here complaining how everything is going to shit while you still live in the same place doing the same thing that is holding you back today.
