I'm living in Canada but I just wondered if we have anyone from Türkiye?

If so, how is life there? I know economy and everything got worse but I just wondered if there is hope for Erdoğan-free Türkiye with EU membership?

I moved to Canada at age 18, and I realized I'm trans here (fuck me sideways for not doing any research until moving to Canada like I could do something at age 15...) and I started HRT at age 18,5. I'm 22 now, and I don't really see a future in Canada for myself.

Rents are crazy, no jobs anywhere, here is not really accepting imo anyways like not dystopia, and FFS costs 124k CAD like what the fuck?! I would rather get it in Türkiye.

I barely passed B2 English in Türkiye, and English is harder than I expected. I got accepted to a college but it was hard asf and I left. Education is really overrated like it's not better than Türkiye imo. Everyone is so cold and fake here. I wish I figured out everything earlier but idk which option would be best for me.

I'm feeling hopeless and down...

I’m not Turkish, or trans, but I am a Canadian who left the country and will likely never move back. All of your concerns regarding my country are unfortunately valid, life is oppressively expensive there.

But your English is excellent, “fuck me sideways” made me chuckle as that’s a very natural expression in colloquial Canadian. Don’t give up, you’re young and the world is your oyster. If you have a Canadian passport, maybe look into some of the youth mobility visas that are available for Canadians under 30. Most commonwealth countries, and many European nations, take part in the program.

Thanks, my teacher was an openly Nazi lover literature teacher from Royal Family UK or something.

He was suspicious asf too like how in the hell you found my small city in Turkiye? It's not even famous, even Turkish people don't know the existence of my city/province.

He didn't have any smartphone, just a small stupid laptop, and me and my friend thought he was a spy lol. Like how come you're so self-confident? Nobody knows English very well there.

I also didn't understand wtf he was talking about at age 15 but after learning about Nazism, everything made sense but I was too late kek.

"Do you think dystopia is realistic?"

Me and even older students in the class didn't understand any shit. Now it makes sense...

He had white skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair. What a coincidence! Crazy fuck openly said he loves Hitler to our course management and nobody said everything. I didn't know much about Hitler either just heard he was an asshole and genocide, which we all got used to hear in Turkiye that kind of stuff.

There was also a black Nigerian teacher in the same course lmfao, what an ignorant shithole. Nobody said anything.
