Is that your full effort?
The slew of departures naturally means Venezuela is suffering from a massive brain drain, with the health service bearing the brunt: an estimated 13,000 doctors are reported to have emigrated in the past four years.
Refugees from the cash-strapped country are now facing the hardship of closed borders when they reach Ecuador, and Peru could soon follow, while Colombia has warned that its capacity to welcome migrants is being stretched.
Meanwhile, the desolation of being refused entry to a potential new home must pale in comparison to the conditions of those left behind.
Attempts to protest the government actions that are keeping Venezuela locked in this downward spiral almost inevitably turn violent, with 165 people killed during political demonstrations last year.
Hospitals, already feeling the effects of fewer doctors, are struggling to treat people as they face shortage of 85 per cent of medicines. There has been a huge resurgence in malaria infections, despite the fact that Venezuela almost eradicated the disease decades ago.
But worse than all of that is the hunger.
Three-quarters of Venezuelans have lost an average of 11kg in body weight last year, while what doctors are left have reported children dying of malnutrition.
A Venezuelan friend of mine reports his father, who has remained in the country, recently noted: “You don’t see cats or dogs in the streets anymore.” That could be open to interpretation - animals will be suffering from a lack of food too - but it is because people are starving and desperate, my friend explains. They’re being forced to eat their pets.
Reports of food shortages have been emerging for a while now. Some schools have effectively shut down because children are so weakened by hunger that they cannot attend, leading to fears that a generation will grow up with little to no education. And even if pupils make it to class, it’s hard to teach on an empty stomach.
Venezuela’s president, Nicolas Maduro, has isolated himself from other nations with his repressive, authoritarian regime - Brazil, Canada and Chile have all refused to recognise his government, and the US has in recent months escalated its sanctions on companies linked to Maduro’s administration. President Trump has even raised the prospect of a military invasion, although he was dissuaded by his own advisers, as well as other world leaders.

Walnut they are even bragging up what 30 years of sanctions wile so called civilized countries look on an clap at the turmoil they cause. One side is without morals and Canada is part of the 'bad guy's'. A point only the retarded could miss.
Don't forget to post something on topic troll. lol. Ugly little troll with zero balls, snip, snip.

You are obviously being starved at home so make yourself at home. Hope the echo doesn't bother you but material things are your bag rather than mine.
Guess what happens to 'your kind' once they enter here?
Lesson 1, find a scapegoat to take the fall, in this case 'socialism' is promoted as the cause rather than it being greedy capitalists using economic sanctions to harm the poor class they created while they were in power. The first exodus was in 1995 when the oil industry was nationalized so the people got a bigger share. That exodus was foreign business CEO's as well as crooked politicians and bankers, this exodus is people who are cutoff from food due to US sanctions banning imports of food and medicine, the first two tools used when laying siege to a country that refuses to do things the way the World Bank wants.

Death By Socialism: As millions flee the disaster that is Venezuela, the government is in full denial. This is now the crazy part of socialism, where the unbridled power of socialist elites ignores the unfolding catastrophe before them. It's a preventable tragedy.
The United Nations estimates that at least 2.3 million people have departed Venezuela since 2015, when its current economic and political crisis began. That's roughly equal to about 7% of the country's population.
Venezuela's Vice President Delcy Rodriguez denies any exodus, calling the mass emigration of the oil-rich nation's citizens "normal," and blaming it all on lies by "enemy countries" trying to provoke a military intervention.
Rodriguez's comments didn't come out of the blue. They followed an extraordinary meeting held in Quito, Ecuador, by 11 neighboring countries that are bearing the brunt of Venezuela's massive flood of emigrants. Their request was, given the circumstances, extraordinarily lenient: They asked that, at minimum, Venezuela give valid passports and identity cards to those leaving so that the countries can better identify them.
