You know Canada is fucked when pretty much average middle class people are actually leaving the country for the Philippines as economic refugees.
I know all kinds of people doing this - and they're still working - usually doing their Canadian job, working remotely from Asia. It's not that they want to be there, it's that it's the only viable choice they have because they can't make ends meet. I know a few people doing this same deal in Thailand. Once guy got divorced (which financially was like Hiroshima), but on the flip side he's thoroughly enjoying the hot and cold running whores of the Thai lifestyle.
