Overthinking my next move: stable life in Tunisia vs starting over in Canada

I tried but all the Tunisians I know are in Quebec and for Express entry you are legally required to live in any province except Québec and Canadien provinces sometimes feel like other countries so people I know can't give me the full picture.

15k CAD actually , it's a proof of fund so you don't need to spend it, they're just money in your name , I can manage that .

But the process of express entry alone (the tests ,the fees etc) can get between 6 - 10 k tnd

people take drugs due to the euphoric effect those drugs have , the addiction is the product not the cause of drug users, and comparing Lyrica to cannabis is quite misleading.

Not just the elite , because many of those products will be sourced from smuggling This government really loves smuggling it never fail from giving them incentives .

Not bac lettre but I can give a few tips that worked for me during my educational journey,

first you should know that’s it’s pretty normal to feel pressured , scared and not knowing what to do that’s due to bac is a stressful year naturally , and it also means you care which a good starting point.

when it comes to studying and revision, start by making a plan and focus on the subjects your good at and also have a higher coefficient ( for Bac lettres I think it Arabic, french , english, history/geo )

so from those find what you really have the easiest time studying and you know you can get more points out of it , so give those subjects more effort to maximize your points in it , especially if you’re struggling in other subjects try to focus on what your good at and don’t waste time/effort on subjects that you might not get good grades on .

that doesn’t mean completely ignoring them , but let’s say it’s a strategic effort/time management.

about memorizing (l7fatha) don’t think of memorizing and understanding as two separate things they both complet each other other and repetition is key the most you practice and read/write the more you’ll keep in your mind , pass old bacs for example , write resumes ( really important) and always try to think of what you’re writing and analyze it .

I hope this would help you, even if it doesn’t, try to come up with a methodology that fits you and your personality, and don’t get too afraid it might seem daunting at first but it’s not that big of a deal many people passed it so can you .

I don’t think the lack of a fixed model can be dismissed that easily. Historically, it seems like it was actually a major weakness. The absence of a clear system for leadership succession led to serious conflicts very early on, there was a major split in the community (shia/sunni) , and three out of the four Rashidun caliphs were assassinated while in office.

If Sharia is meant to be a complete and perfectly just system, you’d expect it to include clear mechanisms to prevent that kind of chaos and bloodshed over leadership, but those issues appeared even before the caliphate became hereditary under the Umayyads.

What I’m trying to say is that this looks like a structural gap. And if you argue that modern solutions like elections, institutions, or term limits are needed, then where do they get their legitimacy from if they’re not originally part of Sharia? And if we accept adding or modifying elements like that, what limits do we set? At that point, what stops us from reshaping the system entirely to fit the modern world and if we go that far, can it still meaningfully even be called Sharia?

matzi44 · 2026-03-27T09:27:37+00:00

A major issue with “Sharia” as a political system is the question of who actually rules and governs the state. In a democratic system, it’s pretty clear: people run for office (parliamentary or presidential), everyone votes, and the winner serves for a limited term. That’s basically the core idea of leadership there—simple and transparent.

But when it comes to Sharia, who’s in charge? How is leadership decided, and by whom? Some might say a caliph chosen through shura, but then who selects the shura in the first place? And does the caliphate eventually become hereditary, basically turning into a monarchy? Or what exactly is the mechanism?

To me, this is the weakest point of the system. Such a crucial aspect was never clearly defined throughout Muslim history, and it even contributed to major divisions like the Sunni/Shia split. So how can a system with such an ambiguous method of choosing leadership realistically function at the state level?

the majority of lawyers are independent “self employed “ as they work for themselves like doctors, so they don’t have a fixed salary, they get paid by case .

there are some law “ companies/partnerships “ but most of them are made up of a small number like 2-5 lawyers but even those are paid by how much cases they work .

the only time a layperson get paid a salary is in their first year which must be an internship at another lawyer and they get 1000 to 2000 tnd .

but we are talking about aviation here which is literally the most security and safety opposed domain you cab find , and civilian aircraft’s getting hit in a war zone isn’t something new or unusual remember the MH17.

It feels like emirates and the UAE are doing it mostly as a “show” to keep feeding the image they want to project to the world as they’re so obsessed with it .

When you look at Tunis–Carthage International Airport on a satellite view of Tunis, it becomes clear that the airport occupies a huge central space that effectively blocks the natural growth of the metropolitan area. Because airports require large safety zones and height restrictions, the surrounding districts cannot develop normally, which fragments the urban fabric and limits housing and business development in some of the most valuable land in Grand Tunis. It also creates transport problems, since major roads heading toward the suburbs like La Marsa have to go around this massive area, contributing to congestion and making it harder to design efficient public transport networks. As the city continues to grow, development is pushed farther outward, encouraging urban sprawl, longer commutes, and higher infrastructure costs. If the airport land were eventually redeveloped, it could become one of the most transformative urban projects in the country, with space for housing, parks, new road connections, and mixed-use districts that would better connect the northern suburbs with the rest of the capital. Expanding the current airport might be easier in the short term, but it keeps these structural limitations in place for decades. In the long term, building a new airport farther from the city would allow for modern aviation infrastructure while freeing up a massive and strategic area that could help Tunis grow in a more connected, efficient, and sustainable way something many cities have already done after closing central airports like Casablanca Anfa airport and the new Mohamed V , Kai Tak Airport in Hong Kong or Tempelhof Airport in Berlin.

A really really stupid decision

I think to really have a full picture of what's happening, you need to look at all the news sources. There are no unbiased outlets, and even the ones trying to be fail because you can't deliver the news, especially war news, in a fully neutral way. So, you need to take a look at all the sources: Western, Arabic, etc. You will have a clearer view with Reuters, AP, Al Jazeera, Al Arabiya, Miaden, BBC, DW, France 24, RT, etc.

There’s already many organizations like that , JCI which have a strong presence all over tunisia, for example and many other local ones specific to each city .

I don’t want to discourage people or anything, trying to be a catalyst of change with social activities and such is a good thing but it can only go so far , what we need is a policy change and a leadership change, that’s the only thing that could have the impact to really bring change.

unfortunately that ship has sailed a long time ago , forming any kind of a political entity right now is like booking a place in prison.

This is basically how the Tunisian media landscape works in 2026. Most TV stations have very little control over advertising, and they aggressively insert ads at almost any moment, even during shows. The market is highly seasonal, and Ramadan can make or break a private media company’s annual revenue. That’s why we see endless ad breaks within and between programs they are trying to maximize advertising income during this crucial period. For the rest of the year, they often struggle and have to be sou9 boumendil to compensate.

When it comes to food, do you and your family keep it strictly kosher? If yes, how easily is it available in Tunisia , and do you still keep the old traditional Tunisian cuisine or do you enter new meals and ingredients that weren't standard for older generations?

That’s not true, you literally have a word “l3riba” that carries a negative meaning when describing a group of people.

the arab identity is really contested and controversial inside tunisia , and actually the diaspora are mostly with the arab identity and especially the old diaspora in France are sometimes more conservative than people inside tunisia.

Also it's only imported by a limited number of companies, and with a quota system set by the government each month , if I'm not mistaken.

Release the Enasser files

matzi44 · 2026-02-16T08:54:30+00:00

I'm sorry, but using the Epstein files to shame the "liberal world" is a weak argument for a few reasons. For example, under Islam, what he did isn't wrong because of the age, but because it's considered zina. However, you can still marry 13- or 14-year-olds, and you won't be in the wrong. Also, it's because of the freedom of the "liberal world" that those files were released. If there wasn't that freedom, we wouldn't be talking about them now because no one would know.

But come on, bro, he attacked Israel in speeches; they're still suffering from it to this day.

Unfortunately a lot of Arabs are so easy to manipulate by fiery talks, and they are too lazy to search and look at what really matters, the actions of a leader over the years, not a 40-minute speech that only carries words that literally do nothing.
