    1. I would suggest staying in Toronto, and you might even receive a thank you for it.

      Reasons not to return home:

      – No affordable housing options for purchase or rent
      – Work-life balance is deteriorating
      – Society is increasingly divided
      – A government lacking competence is in power
      – The average worker received no benefits in the latest budget
      – Mass layoffs are becoming more common

      My advice: stay where you are.

    2. This is just so tone deaf, the very same government who crashed the economy and forced construction trades to emigrate to Canada & Australia in their thousands is now begging them to come home. And not a financial incentive or temporary tax break in sight to at least cushion the high cost of rent and establishing themselves all over again or car insurance companies quoting them like they’re 18 years of age all again because they’ve lost their no claims bonus.

      One simple question they have to ask “where will I live” and the whole thing comes tumbling down.

      Boils my piss. They wouldn’t have left if it wasn’t for your incompetence.

    5. „come back, we haven’t fixed anything that lead to you leaving and if anything, things are worse“

      Compelling pitch

    6. Did they ask nurses to come back in covid to and not actually hire them 🤣

      They’ll have to pay better then, I worked in construction in both Canada and Ireland. Canada pays better, has better organizational structures, better infrastructure and more competant city planners. There’s a reason I went into office work after moving home.

    8. Whats the incentive? Give up their house in Toronto to come back home to …..

    9. I was treated like an animal during the recession. Canada welcomed me with open arms as if I was one of their own. FF/FG can go shite, Corrupt pigs.

      Lots of posts here shitting on Canada. As someone who has lived in North Vancouver for the past 12 years, I’d much rather be paying through the nose to live here than back in Dublin. I have beautiful beaches and lakes on my doorstep, multiple ski resorts a short drive away, it’s visually one of the most beautiful cities in the world. I’ll take that every day of the week over being back home.

    11. I left Ireland in 2004. Not because I had to but because I wanted to travel and live abroad. Moved home in 2006 to save to go to nz & oz. Back home in 2010 mid recession. Lasted 8 months and moved to Toronto. I’ve often dreamt of moving home but it seems more and more unlikely. At 43 years old I don’t see myself ever moving back. I am an excavator operator here in Toronto with a fantastic wage, health benefits and a pension. All going well I can retire at 55. I look at job postings back home and they’re offering €21 an hour for a heavy equipment operator with nothing else on top and I just can’t justify the move. Canada is no walk in the park either. It’s expensive, cold as f in the winter and housing in Toronto is unattainable but I’ll always have work. I can move to smaller cities or more rural areas but then the work is less available.

      Ireland is beautiful. I miss my family and friends but my logical brain says no. I won’t retire in Canada. Southern Spain is nice. Ireland will always have my heart though.

      Really embarrassing for Irish people living in Canada to see a government sponsored ad saying this. Sure there’s a lot of Irish builders in Canada but there’s also a lot of Canadian and other nationalities that built Toronto. Absolutely tone deaf.

      Then there’s the fact that they didn’t move for no reason like everyone else has stated.

    14. The standard of living in Canada Vs Ireland is not going to convince anyone to move back home
