    No as a canadian my impression of australia is that it’s just canada with the same problems but worse

    Have many close friends there and it’s been tough in recent years

      I think most western countries could say that about each other.

      Yes, there are shitty landlords in Australia. However, I’ve never encountered mould or a landlord that wouldn’t make appropriate repairs.

      I’m sure there are shitty landlords in Canada, and every other country.

      It’s definitely the opposite.

      When Australians say times are tough, it’s true, but they’re usually unaware of how much tougher it is for everyone else.

      There is a reason for the increasing uptick of North Americans moving to Australia and not looking back.

      Friendly Jordies recently “reviewed” some Canadian cities and basically summed it up well. He couldn’t believe how much damage the political choices had done to the nation in the past 15 years.
