Hey guys lwts spend billions of dollars so we can accommodate immgrants of the future seems like a tough sell for any government

So does she also go to grocery stores and not pay for groceries? What's the difference? It's all theft. But in the eyes of the law.....it's complicated. I think the fastest thing for this guy to do is sell his property.

sell the condo? maybe lower the rent? maybe you're too greedy? renting condo is no different than stock market investment. there's no guarantee profit. you may lose, you may win.

Most people in Canada do like immigrants and try and want to accept newcomers . I am happy to see new faces younger people, people with a different outlook. However this lack of housing is a major problem for poor and lower middle class people - citizens and noncitizens. Unfortunately rents are a racket in most cities, the real estate business is full of unnumbered accounts and money laundering; Canada is full of organized crime from all over the world, we cant control foreign attempts at killing our citizen. So we can tell our government is not efficient and is doing a poor jobHowever I dont think the average immigrant is the problem and I feel they are treated like rubes by our government and taken advantage of and so are Canadians of different ethnic backgrounds who also suffer the same problems of many immigrants. That's the truth. Letting people in with out providing opportunities for jobs, housing, support is foolish and destructive to our country. Our politicians are selling us down the drain-i.e. all those who are not in the upper middle class or the elites. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE !

It is exactly the same dynamic in the US. There is a pull of immigrants into the country by moneyed interests. Those who make money from selling essential goods, those who own properties to rent, those who gain from higher cost of homes, those who want to keep wages low, all benefit from the influx of immigrants. They are creating this flow.

i wonder if he could sell the condo to his friend/relative to evict her then buy it back and start fresh.

At a certain point id sell the property just to be petty

Can he not sell the apartment from under her, after all he owns the condo

As a former Ontario landlord, key word being former, DO NOT RENT ANY UNITS OUT IN ONTARIO! Rent is the only thing the government allows you to steal. If I owned a corner store and I caught people stealing candy bars from me, then found out it takes at least a year to get a hearing with the CandyBay Tribunal to force thieves from walking off with my candy bars.....I WOULD STOP SELLING CANDY BARS! If you are renting a property in Ontario, your tenants could stop paying you. Then use 'Cash For Keys' to extort you for dozens of thousands of dollars, in plain words, EXTORTION. This is the cold reality of Ontario, find another way to make money....

For me. If you are going to be a landlord. The unit you have must be already paid, if its mortgage dont be a landlord. Because if its already fully paid, whatever happens at the end of the day its still your unit, and the landlord can still sell it the future for the higher price. I am still in favor of the law for the tenant, because this landlords, they tend to put higher price whenever they want, specially those under the table, what ever the trend they can increase the price, or depends on their mortgage interest. It happens to us before, our rent is 800, then next year they are asking for 1,100. So we just moved out, then they rent the place for 1200 for the next renter, now we rent in a legit apartment who follows the percentage each year of rent increase, so we pay on time.

Solving the housing crisis by stacking the rules against landlords isn't the smartest move for this province. This is why some landlords quit and sell their rentals which likely does not help with the housing crisis. This is whst is called a negative feed back loop. It makes the situation worse.

Some of these slumlords deserve everything they are getting. I am trying to convince my neighbor not to pay their rent as the slumlord evicted a very nice family after they refused to pay a $1500 increase claiming he is selling the house. He never sold but he sure did turn the home into a rooming house with over 20 students. It is a F@king nightmare.

As an immigrant who grew up here, I am always judged because I say Canada should limit the number of immigrants coming in the country not because I am egoistic or what but because I think that Canada is selling a dream to people who sell their houses and everything to come to a place where the system has lost its structure. ? I don’t blame immigrants but the government for failing not the country but also new arrivals

neighbor rented a house to a couple she was a teacher he was a nuclear power worker both good paying jobs they paid first and last and nothing more for 2 years he ended up paying them $10000.00 to move out so he could sell it before he lost it ....the LTB isnt on the landlords side this is why rentals are hard to find.....better off to use air band b or not rent at all

This guy isn’t Canadian and we need to stop selling them for profit housing, we have no fair priced housing for Canadians but immigrants get mortgages funded by our crooked government so they can send the money out of the country. Stop this and watch rent rates fall u bet.

Sell it.

And you wonder why so many condos are left empty, units and presale not selling, and landlords withholding basement units. Thanks tenancy boards of Ontario and BC

Im selling my rental unit, too many risks and investment is not protected by law at all.

Sell the condo... or how about stop allowing people to own rental properties and we wouldnt have a housing issue

For the people supporting the tenant the landlords should stop long term renting altogether. Either Airbnb or sell. There will be reduced rental supply and you can count on government to solve the housing problem.

To be fair its European policies that keep their country's poor and in state of war so they can buy their natural resources for pennies. But still better to fix your country than go to another were yiur not welcome. Yea migrants stop migrating and fix your country and see whos poor then when you start selling your natural resources for proper price.

I have only been in Canada for seven months now, but I noticed a few things about its economy that led to this mess. I noticed that Canada has no globalized companies, meaning the government only makes a little money from doing business with other nations. Businesses here are lazier than their neighbor, the USA, or even in my country, Vietnam, which could be due to a lack of competitors. Cad also has the biggest forest reserve and largest oil deposit but is the lowest exporter. So I wonder how on Earth it stays in the top 10 wealthiest countries with such lazy activities. Up to this point, foreigners are the biggest income of Canada; this country is truly built on immigrants. To keep the country running, it must attract more foreigners. Without int' students, how much do citizens have to pay to keep schools running? If you view it differently, the government also sells the PR through SV Visa because, let's be honest, if millions of investors have invested, there should be something or at least one globalized company, but there are none. From $75k to $200k, foreigners can buy PR for every family member. It is considered affordable for Asian families compared to the USA or Australia. On top of that, another scam is a carbon tax, which means the government needs to learn how to make money rather than invent taxes and sell dreams to foreigners.

Its also not Canada that is selling the dream. Its recruiters in India, who likely are Indian, running a business in getting their countrymen visas to Canada. I know, these systems exist in many other countries as well, like China.

I don't think this should be posed as a pro immigrant vs anti immigrant argument. Apply some logic and nuance.. Does a 50 seat restaurant take nightly reservations for 80? Does an aircraft seating 280 sell 500 tickets? Time to sensible and adjust numbers to fit our infrastructure

We need for climate change to half the population. Acting as a steam valve for countries with out of control population control is unethical like a drug dealer selling to children.

India owns the UK. Soon they'll own Canada. Stop selling our real estate to India and China!!@

As an Indian immigrant myself, I have tremendous sympathy for Canadians. \n\nThe so called diploma mills were always a danger but online classes during covid meant they could quadruple their attendance (and thus, their bottom line). The degrees offered by these colleges are worthless and that's why anyone who's moved to Canada in the last 4-5 years is finding it difficult to get meaningful employment.\n\nOn the other side, the Canadian dream really is sold as a cheaper and safer alternative to the American Dream. This is especially rampant in the state of Punjab where people from villages sell their ancestral property to move to Canada as students only to find the stalemate that is the job sector.\n\nThis in turn puts pressure on the economy, the housing market, and the welfare programmes. I think the immigration needs to halt for a while. A LOT of students are lacking in technical and linguistic skills to propel the Canadian economy and society forward and they'll need to not be given Permanent Residencies. PR should go to highly skilled immigrants who are integrating into the Canadian society instead of turning Brampton into mini India.

Hey guys i live in nyc the majority of illegals come and go straight into crmie like selling drugs and underage prostitution especially in Queens i hope yt doesn't delete this comment but you'll see 13+ immigrant girls basically kids to older teens selling themselves on the corner and do anything else to have money, the parents are the pimps btw some are selling their kids to other families..........

I don’t even necessarily blame the government. I blame the for profit immigration centers in foreign countries that sell canada as this utopia rich land. We’ve been struggling for years and it’s not fair for those who come here being told it’s paradise and they’ll make all the money they want when it’s not true. It’s fraudulent

Bro Chicago is just as bad, I see these immigrants selling their Gatorades and water bottles on the corners of every street. THEYRE EVERYWHERE!!

The guy from India was 100% correct. I've traveled India and seen huge billboard ads to sell students a dream of moving to Canada. But it's totally unrealistic. The higher education in India these days is easily as high quality as education in Canada.

As a Canadian, we want to leave! This isn’t the same country our parents and grandparents grew up in. Bringing in 1 million ppl who haven’t contributed to our socialist system yet giving them full benefits is destroying us! If just my husband didn’t get taxed we could afford for me to stay home but instead my mat leave has ended and we can’t find child care! We are in serious talks about selling the house and moving to Thailand or some other country where our dollar is actually worth something. \nTaking suggestions on English speaking countries to move to!\n\nAnd what other country could u move to and tell them to change? Cuz that’s what happening here. Ppl aren’t assimilating to our Canadian way. We are expected to accept (bend over and take it) and include in the name of “inclusion”. Makes me sick my white straight son will have LESS opportunity than a gay ethnic person… talk about discrimination!!! The ONLY discrimination is against white straight men!! It’s insanity!

4:45 She missed the biggest problem between building is expensive and they have to charge high. Canadian government allow this developer mafia to market and sell these condos to rich Asians who have tons of dirty money to profitable real estate casinos, make more profit with rentals- arbnb business, and even more profit by flipping home. This is big stab the back poor locals who can not compete with foreign investors and then are terrorized to unaffordable rents to these investors. It doesn't sound like a country, but some kind of mafia running this country

This is not professional immigration.\nThis is goverment selling country for votes to welfare seekers.

on the rise... really these sell out politicians are the main problem ...

The wealthy need bodies to tax and sell stuff to. If they can get $100 from a million people they can stay rich. The poor will stay poor, and the rich will stay rich.

This has happened to Australia too - selling the dream which remains a dream.

Only businesses gain from the « labor shortage ». Bring more people in = sell more stuff.\nBeing Canadian is not just about contributing to the economy. If Home is somewhere else, go there \n! Take back Canada!

They are selling Canada by the dollar

It’s not the immigrants to blame, but the reckless leftist government buying potential votes by selling the wrong picture of what immigrant life will look like and by providing welfare on demand. Many immigrants do not work, but recieve soicial assistance especially once they get children, and eventually they settle into mediocre life and no longer look for work. Our government is dishonest and deprives newcomers of their agency.

What a contrast. The USA has an illegal migrant issue, and Canada has legal immigrant issues. Unlike the USA, where people are pouring into the country illegally, Canada has created its own problems by importing a lot more people legally than it can afford to accommodate in terms of housing and jobs. Canada could have done a much better job managing the influx of immigrants and international students.\n\nThe Canadian government, colleges, landlords, and business owners are the winners. The government and colleges collect billions in taxes and fees, and landlords collect millions through inflated rent. Business owners get a lot of cheap labor and sell those LMIs for $50k—$60k each.\n\nThe losers are Canadian citizens. Whose quality of life and livelihoods are in jeopardy.

Canada and America just need to focus on two of main problems...which are greed and a lot of people getting in real estate who are either renting or selling at a severely inflated rate because those people in real estate just want take short cut early retirement. If rich individuals or companies create more jobs that are entry level and offer decent salary then rich individuals or hedge fund companies can buy empty land and buy town homes or a tower like apartment and charge a decent rate.

Canada is selling a dream & he is absolutely right about that

Canada likes selling dreams. I am in Alberta, trying to move to PEI and I'm french, unfortunately when you search, you find out that they don't have lots of jobs. They have designated compagies for the Atlantic pathway, but when you look at them one by one you don't see jobs. They talk about massive recruitment while those who are there can't find jobs and other immigrants are protesting for temporary work permit extensions. Good luck! We never know.

It's dangerous for everyone. The Canadian people are disgusted with the corrupt politics that are in power. Nothing but sell outs and criminals. If you can leave do it asap!! Sadly many Canadians are stuck here.

The world's coming to an end. How about you start selling Trump maxi pads. ?

A lot of the immigrants coming are just middle-class but in other countries. my sister-in-law took in some Venezuelans and all they cared about was visiting New York City to take pictures with the Statue of Liberty. I sell used clothes and my sister-in-law took them to my shop and they did not want the clothes because it was used. These people are ungrateful.

4:18 they are all doing it because of the meta trafficked song's, like... JAY-Z - Empire State Of Mind ft. Alicia Keys ... sets on a verbal induction to wander to a place, tho they fall off of themselves after the first week that the 8 bit world of cards locks then out of everything. paper money is an old contract intended to be phased out, only they use it. walking down the street picking up a quarter here or their is where some start, not as a joke tho that's another immigration path. whatever they forget to pick's left behind for the last of us to follow to work with and live, taking nothing where their is nothing. the gas for that plane flight would have bought them 100'000kg of mangos back home but they can't do the math to see the sale sign selling them for 2 cents a kilo, the division of a square pie is to much to make a thought of or off the tree picked to fall wait till fall and that state welfare disturbance check of costs gets sent back to their point of origin. G8 to date

PLEASE stop saying they just want a better life...we all want a better life but it ain't gonna happen as long as this ass clown government keeps selling us out.
