Canada hid its inflation in the housing market for a decade. The economy appeared to be growing, and real wages appeared to be staying in line with the consumer price index, but it was smoke and mirrors. If you removed real estate, GDP was stagnant. Wages were actually falling behind and people getting poorer and poorer without realising it. That’s finally become unsustainable, and inflation is showing up everywhere. And the wages are still stuck. The country is sitting on hugely valuable resources it could develop had it not put so many self-created political barriers in the way, and having indoctrinated their population about it along the way. Separately, The healthcare system is getting worse, consistently ranking 2nd last in the OECD in terms of real results delivered. The biggest problem is that the country’s economy is built on immigration to drive growth, rather than productivity, efficiency, or innovation. The more people you bring in, the more housing you need, but they’re at the point that they can’t keep up and people can hardly afford housing anyways. It’s a recipe for disaster. I left Canada by coincidence, having met someone from another country and moved there. I’m glad I left.

Left-wing Liberal and NDP chaotic mess. Total disaster.

Thank the Liberal government for this absolute disaster.

I strongly disagree with this video. Canada is still by far a superior country compared to US. The home crisis is common to UK, France, Italy and many other countries, even without migrants. Compared to the average US citizen, Canadian enjoy a better health system, a competitive infrastructure system, some of the best educational possibilities and a greater equality in opportunities. It's often referred as an European-like country, and its human development index largely show how a successful model it is. This video emphasize some points without mentioning how bad the US situation is (healthcare disaster, the broken municipalities of the country, the private debt explosion, the educational debt, the federal debt, the gentrification of the major hub, the falling of the dollar as a world reserve currency and many more)

Using Immigrants to fuel economy is a disaster...

Canada is a disaster. Trudeau and Sigh are a disaster. Crime is rampant. Home prices are astronomical at one and two million dollars. Florida has brand new nicer homes for 25% of the cost at $350k. Does Trudeau think that home builders are going to build and sell for 25% of current prices? Then all those Canadians that paid $1 and 2 million would all be bankrupt having a mortgage at $1 and 2 million. Immigrants couldn't care less about Canada, and want their neighbourhood to look just like the one they left in the other country. Trudeau and Singh have done a wonderful job of destroying what was a wonderful country before the woke/progressives came to power. A renter on Vancouver Island.

frustrating how the comment section is scapegoating immigrants and not the rich asset owners hoarding, speculating in scarce housing resources\n\nthe developed world's fertility rates aren't high enough\ncombine that with generous welfare promises for boomers like retirement pensions, increasing healthcare costs as population ages, and you see why 'vetted' immigration is essential for every rich country be it a Singapore or Canada\n\nits the immigrant health care professionals who are running the NHS in UK, North America's health care system while also coughing the high taxes that bankroll the wealthier boomers\n\nscapegoating immigrants like they did in the run up to Brexit disaster in UK, results in better fitting immigrants getting turned away by broken system while the bad characters like religious extremists, who'd have 0 qualms over staying illegally will survive even a hostile immigration system\n\nits why I emphasize on a 'vetted' immigration system like Singapore

I wouldn’t care if they didn’t leave a disaster behind them wherever they go. My local beaches have fees now because of the amount of garbage they leave behind. Can’t go in the water because they shit and piss in groups of 18. All the local parks are left in a complete mess. Camp grounds forget it. They are loud and ignorant. Sorry but it is what it is. Do better.

its hard to find normal food in the grocery ...its a complete disaster

As I said in earlier post, Canada is a cautionary tale of what happens when you go tooooo far left ie a disaster. Importing an enormous amount of military age men from India almost all Panjabi is incredibly dangerous, because when that happens , they have 0 interest in adapting and essentially set up ethnic ghettoes and you have parallel societies. The US has caps on how much from a certain country can come, only 130K Indians came in 2023, in a country of 350 million people , Trudeau is importing a million of them mostly men in a country of 40 million!!! Thats INSANITY!!!

I grew up in Malton (borders Brampton) in the 1980's and it was all Western European and Canadian folks and it was great. Such a sense of community and everyone knew everyone. Us kids would stay out until the street lights came on and played in Parks. It was really safe. We moved away in 2006 because the area had gone such down hill by 1999 and the crime was horrible. Stolen cars, alcohol and drug abusing Punjabi folks and the domestic partner violence of the Indian men beating the crap out of their wives was insane. (I had a friend that was a Peel Region Police officer who ended up leaving because she couldn't take seeing it any longer). I have nothing against Immigration, because my dad was an immigrant, but I do have a problem with the amount of any one country we let in, and the types of people that we let in that contribute to crime and area degradation. It's so sad the slums that have become in Brampton and Malton since we left. I'm glad we got the heck out of there when we did. I feel sorry for all those that are stuck there still. Furthermore with such an influx of immigrants into one area it has driven the house prices and rent through the roof because the pace of immigration was nowhere near the housing starts, and cities think that everyone needs to be packed in like sardines and when you have that many people living in close proximity and you have such expensive living costs it's a disaster waiting to happen and it brings along with it tons of crime and drugs. The Trudeau government really messed up this country and the GTA Cities like Brampton are a shining example of that. It's sick that we pay as much as we do for government at all levels that are this idiotic. It's time we protested in the street and made the government at all levels fear the public again or it's never going to change.

What does it mean to be Canadian I’m confused? Indigenous? After all everyone is an immigrant here. Perhaps if there was no concept of old stock new stock and inequalities that lie so deep, that entitlement oozes from a passive aggressive society with a declining growth population. Immigrants may feel safe to broaden their horizons to the hills of billy. Time to face reality, multiculturalism is a disaster because a society fails to embrace it. Equating to a pathetic coverage to justify the prejudices that run from the past! Get over it! Integration starts from embracing and breaking societal prejudices, but no amount of education can teach you how to become an intelligent human, that is what’s lacking here. Uncultured is an understatement and ignorance is at its core.

Come to New Zealand. Exact same disaster unfolding here as well. It’s revolting.

Another Trudeau disaster. He should live there.

Soon Multi generations, who build the country, will be loading up the wagons again to be forced Out of Our cities and towns to make way for an environmental disaster, as their countries are now and why mass migration is has come full force today.

he's making a U turn on everything and turning his attention to new disasters

Brian, to me, Trudeau is a complete disaster as a PM. The kicker is he blames the conservatives for housing shortage well the last time I looked whom is the PM HIMSELF!! Its pathetic!!

Incompetent ministers from the top down as Kevin OLeary said.. Trudeau is just an absolute disaster of a PM.

Canada is a disaster. Hate this frozen dump

1,27 million people added in just 1 year. Albeit most of it temporary workers, this is a disaster for the younger generations trying to make it in the middle class. The housing market is insane right now, if your family was middle class just 10 years ago then you will automatically be lower class once out of education no matter your degree. I know 30 years olds engineers living in shared flats in Calgary with full time jobs. Life has become a sad rat race for the average Canadian.

Immigration without the capacity to handle those immigrants is a disaster for everyone

Canada has not prepared for healthy integration of immigrants. Therefore should stop until proper preparation is made. Disaster is here.

I live in a big city and I haven't had a doctor for over 10 years. Now my wife's doctor also retired and she has no doctor now. \nCanada is fast becoming a disaster.\nI suspect people are leaving in droves.

Bahahah what a disaster Canada is in. Highest taxed country in the G7, with lowest productivity , Debt to Income ratios that make the US 2008 blush, and now they are bringing in 3% of the countries population every year, only a few other countries have immigration levels higher in the world, Sudan, and Syria... lolol, oh, and the government by Liberals have completely lost the plot, increasing taxes on April 1st with record homelessness, food bank usage, and it looks like they used COVID to enrich themselves substantially. Brutal situation.

The student visa scheme has been a disaster because it discourages investment in the local populations

See BRICS is already a disaster. What a goof.

Canada is a joke now, trying so hard to be a 51st state. We've got all the crime and all the tent cities to compete with the very greatest American cities. Our tiny little towns now have homeless folks and I fear the day I become homeless.\n\nWe've lost our honour. We've sold out to corporations. We're intentionally pushing people out of their homes so the rich may get richer. And our Cuban PM, Justin Castro, is alright with it. He's also happy providing immigrants with subsidized housing while born-and-bred Canadians suffer. Heck, 'everyday young people' in their 20s can't even envision owning a home unless they come from a wealthy family or their parents die and leave the family home to them. They're better off buying an RV but even those cost what a house SHOULD cost.\n\nThis is not the Canada I was born in. It's a total effing disaster. The only saving grace for me is that I brought no children into this mess and I really hope to be dead before Xmas if I don't find a job. Being as I'm a coward and my doctor won't euthanize me (I asked), I figure a hunger strike is the was to go unless I can find a high enough cliff. There's nothing in Canada to be proud of or get excited about. Nothing. No future.

BC Canadian here, it’s seriously scary not knowing if you’ll be able to afford what you already have, despite there being a job shortage I can’t find work and unless a huge disaster happens that forces those in power to step up and help everyone I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a riot

Liberal Government and Justin is responsible for this mess and economical disaster. We need this money to support living here in Canada than Ukraine or any other country. We don’t. Red more carbon tax.

Canada is a disaster

Nah… can’t say Illegals… those are Newcomers.\nWhat a frigging disaster.\nThis country is going straight down the toilet.

Those security guards are newbies for sure and don't seem to have good training. That's a recipe for disaster for sure.

Dear God. What a complete disaster. I feel sorry BUT who are they? Times are hard for everyone. They can't expect to walk into a country. It's not even legal and WHO ARE THEY. MANY COULD BE VIOLENT. ?

Mass immigration has been a disaster for western countries!

What a disaster !! … this government is a shame !!! Reeeeally sad they are doing that !!!!!

Toronto has become a shit hole , literally. Human excrement is now a familiar sight. This crisis is an escalating human disaster . My cousin was homeless born & bred Torontonian, he died a year ago , 53yrs old.

Because Canada is a disaster our own citizens are loosing everything and cant afford homes!!

Mass immigration post-nationalism is a recipe for disaster. Cultures with non-compatible view all merge into a big mess.

our economy is about $2T generated by just 40M people compared to India $5T generated by 1.5Bln people. Our standard of living is relatively high thanks to high productivity, not number of people. Low productive, cheap labor is not help but disaster to our well being. We do need newcomers but only highly productive individuals who can fill in existing gaps in skilled trades.

No common faith, culture, language, or values. That is a recipe for disaster.

Do not come to Canada. It’s a disaster under the Trudeau Government and is suffering from a collapsing health care system, no housing and high inflation and costs.

Australia is heading to the disaster direction, nonetheless.

Partition was bad idea \nAs immigrants from india are not treated well in Pakistan and not much accepted as well \nAlso, there attitude is different from rest of Pakistan, which make total sense as they ancestors was from different regions of India \nWhole theory or partition is a total disaster after 70 years of separation

The worst BIDEN DISASTER TO USA

Give it time and will sharia be allowed in certain areas? the breaking down of our British culture, what a disaster this is for our indigenous culture, freedom and human rights. Who enabled all this though, who enabled so many into the UK?

U reap what you sow.\nSupport for Terrorism and Seperatism and WOKE and LGBTQ ideas along with higher inflation and rising prices has been to receipie of disaster and downfall for Canada. \nAnd above all picking up a fight you cannot win with India is like double whammy ???

Disaster. Mass immigration disaster.

I have no reason to live any countries near China\nBig disaster coming near China in the future

All middle East countries will not do anything, except watching the disaster, allahualam don't know when all will unite stand for one to protect Islam..

Our Far Left Liberal government is responsible for this disaster. Keep this in mind BBC viewers.
