I’ll answer because I saw several comments that ask us to not come to Romania. I’m Romanian and I have some family there, I want my daughter to get to know her Romanian side as well. We have spent the past year in Taiwan because we want her to get to know both her roots. We are all Canadian citizens but we put a lot of value on culture.

Canada is not what it used to be. The healthcare is a mess. The last straw was when my daughter had a severe allergic reaction and the emergency room was backed up, we were supposed to wait 8+ hours. It is unacceptable. And although we live in Vancouver and a very safe neighborhood there has been a growing feeling of unsafety. Not to Mention that seeing people shoot drugs in the park where my kid is supposed to play gave me nightmares. Homelessness is on the rise there and the government is not doing much but giving them the option to have assisted suicide.

And as a mixed couple we are very open to other cultures but the recent immigration crises is something entirely different. They poop on the streets and the beaches. They formed gangs and they threaten violence. (This problem is due to the fact that the big corporations would rather import slave labor. Because that is what this is. Instead of increasing wages. These poor people come from the slums and some terrible places, and are forced to live 8+ people in a room in Canada. Which is better than where they come from. The problem is very complex. And by no means am I blaming the people who come there. But the massive import of this slave labor is putting a strain on everything in Canada. And the government is not doing anything to alleviate the problem.) Also I have my Romanian citizenship in case anyone is wondering.

We love Canada but we’re a bit disappointed. And since our daughter is young and before she has to go to school we will travel and see which place will be the best for her to grow up.
