This is CRAZY you not allowed to miss you mortgage payments or property tax but you somebody can miss rent for years and the system would protect them. Thats why I don't even rent my basement I bought my house for me and my family yes the extra income is good but not worth the headache and when they talk about hosing crisis too bad i don't even listen to that you can sleep outside for all i care

I think we as Canadians feel the same as you right now Crazy times.

It’s crazy. I know so many ppl who have moved to Canada from abroad and left because they realize they’ve been lied to about the opportunities here. Yet, people still spill into Canada maybe they see a mark country?

Well, I am leaving, yes. Although I am very grateful with Germany, I work in IT, and I don't hold a diploma, but I have more than 20 years of experience in the field, I always been offered jobs beneath my experience, only because of a paper. I am Italian and was very enthusiastic when I arrive 4 years ago, but the way I was treated was mostly bad, that led me not wanting to study the language anymore, people were so agressive in the streets. When I needed the back of the justice, it was never on my favour, even when I was right, as I was hit in the street by a stranger who made my face bleed, police said that it was nothing and that it was the opposite, even when they had evidence. I was mistreated at a hospital in Schwabing, München and medical attention was refused, police didn't help and they requested my to litereally scream for help, and I did because I was bleeding on a place I didn't know, with -4 degrees, without any jacket. I even tried with the discrimination line, which doesn't work, and if you write them an Email, they will say they cannot help. I Will never understand that level of cruelty, not to mention 5000 Euros I had to pay for a ticket, because I suppousedly scratch the car of a person and because my Kaution was never returned, tried, but never got a lawyer, because you need to pay for the air you breathe in this country. ARD, what is that? You pay for the right of internet, and you pay internet as well, the desorganization with the states is massive, and often times, you will get a letter in your box post having to pay somehting else. My energy and money was completely drained. I just had it. Despite of everything, this country tought me great things, like discpline and hard work which I really appreciate and will take this knowledge...somewhere else. I also became better human being as a result of being exposed to all of the bad things. But I am isolated case, not everyone goes through these things, I did, and to me it was more than enough to wanting to Auf Wiedersehen. Unfortunaly Germany prefers to keep people who did not come to the country to add something, crazy as it seems, they would allow more people who rape, do not respect their culture and commit other crimes, instead of really welcoming people who came here to have a better life. Germany is currently too focused on other countries problems and failed on attending the needs of their citizens and the citizens who came to live here, including europeans, as myself. I truly believe that Germany is a beautiful country, München is one of the most beautiful cities I have ever seen, and has astonishing landscapes and vibrant nature. But...

The crazy part is European countries do nothing to protect their own citizens and borders.\nIt's a legalised allowed invasion.

To little too late. My neighbour is like India now. Garbage everywhere, zero respect for locals, crime is up like crazy, dozens of cars stolen, inflation through the roof, half the people don’t know traffic rules, the young people think they are gangsters and have massive egos.

whats crazy is that theres is add allover the internet to come to canada as we speak

Just put crazy in the locks they will not be able to get into the place

I've been to Canada several times as a tourist, visiting the country's biggest cities and always finding it a great vacation destination. But the last few times I've been there I've noticed the decline, especially in the bigger cities. Last year I was in Toronto and had to look down to avoid stepping in human feces and to the sides to avoid being attacked by some drug addict going crazy.

My wife and I are retired living in San Francisco... It looks a lot like Toronto. We have traveled a bit to over 40 countries, but we find ourselves going back more often to Malaysia. Each visit we stay longer and longer. Malaysia is affordable, has great food, and everyone speaks English. \nLove the US, but there are crazy people running it. ?

I’m renovating my basement to rent out. That’s how crazy mortgages are

So lower the rent it’s way to high no one can sustain these rent prices lower rent and tenants will pay people don’t want to work all month just to pay rent a one bedroom condo there should be $1200 not $2800 a month that’s crazy

Why New York isn't New York crazy expensive too lol?

Saw this coming years ago, sold everything and moved to Thailand. After 13 years I'm still here. Just came back from a 3 month stay there. Covid did so much damage to the place economically, socially and politically. I had fun, but no plans to return to the US to live. I'm also following the crazy madness that is happening in Canada. My neighbor here is from Canada as is a few other friends. I like their tax situation much better than mine. Anyway. Life is good here, easy to travel around SEA, cheap flights, affordable hotels and good food. Enjoy your journey where ever you go. I'm going to guess you might be moving to Europe, possibly Eastern Europe?

Crazy liberial Justin T is wrecking Canada for sure!

Canada is a crazy country now. Criminals have more rights and leeway than law abiding tax paying citizens. Renters are just signing leases and than holding the owners hostage. Its not right

We use to live in Berli, Germany . My wife is a doctor. but the whole process for doctors to work in city like berlin is so complex and crazy. We later decided to move to UK

Why she act like she the victim, crazy 4 years not paying rent

Crazy

I would choose Mexico over Canada any day. Canada has gone full blown bat shit crazy.

I left Germany after 5 long years. Despite having a Blau Karte, a salary of €86,000 and eligibility for the EU long term residence permit, I just couldn't stand the retarded bureaucracy, extremely inefficient systems, long waiting times for everything, the refusal of many businesses and service providers to even adopt English as an option, the dull cities, crazy real estate prices and a lot more. People were generally nice, but it wasn't too difficult to come across the nasty ones, especially in the service sector. Service, even with high prices, absolutely sucks in Germany, like the complete opposite of Asia. \n\nI didn't even apply for the EU residence permit because I couldn't bother with German B1. I speak 6 languages, so learning isn't an issue for me. My heart was just never in Germany, and it never felt like home at all.\n\nIn Germany, there's a shortage of everything, except attitude.

NO MORE MASS MIGRATION!!! NO MORE BLACKS INDIANS OR CRAZY MUSLIMS.. NO MORE!!!

Crazy employment laws, incredible regulations and high taxes, what could go wrong?

I have a crazy idea. Why not train your population in the skills. Then in turn boost your economy and become a real super power.

This is crazy the BBC and sky news have also published aggressive immigration ads.

The government is like this, because there is no Rental cap, and they allow Owners to rent out places for whatever they want in whatever shape. The government won't step into to ensure: rent paid goes towards your credit score, living conditions are good in these units, owners arnt over charging, and are Legal units; so then why would the Government step in now to help Evict tenants, and help owners be able to rent without fear this will happen to them/again. FYI Housing crisis is Government issue as well, as they are allowing Owners to be slimy as well in regards to doing and charging whatever they feel, for whatever they have (good living condition or not). The government created this craziness; of course they will take forever to fix it; like tax time- if we owed them money they want it ASAP, yet they owe us money- they take it into investigation (between now and a year etc) and then they eventually pay it out(if they don't decide to reevaluate your file)... The government broke it; they'll take forever to (not) fix it.

4 years!!! Thats crazy.

I'm a Canadian & this is crazy, I pay 859$ month plus hydro and internet it runs me 1000-1075 max\nI have million dollar view looking at Canadian Rockie mountains and Purcell mountain ranges, \nThere. Is 60000 ppl iny city & greater area around it so how am I paying lower for better views & better place?!?\nGuess BC ain't bring cash anymore \nAlso you don't pay first and last anywhere but Ontario

This is crazy. I work with many Indian people and i can honestly say the majority are respectful, courteous, educated and very friendly. They're absolutely no threat to anyone. People need to look past their bias and actually observe their actions before judging them. This guy mocking his accent is a real p.o.s.

We have the same problems in US too. It’s crazy for politicians promote the US dreams without an infrastructure of housing, job and such.

Crazy board, the people who own properties are not very rich , they become owners for years rs of sacrifice s, penny by penny collecting, government not help hard working people only help people are abusing the system very sad this Ontario government and tenant board in Ontario is the worst government body in Ontario, the people who working there are should not get paid

Interesting to hear a Canadian perspective. Taking the politics out of it, what is ultimately impacting where I live in the UK is overpopulation and a simple case of supply vs demand. Views are so polarised it’s crazy. We need the voice of reason, but it’s nowhere to be seen.

Apparently there’s nothing more Canadian than being white and red in the face. This whole “OUR land,” acting like white Canadians didn’t violently remove indigenous people from THEIR land is crazy. Check your entitlement.

It’s the same in Poland. Why completely alter the structure of society and increase housing costs for all just so we can order a pizza more easily with Uber eats? It’s crazy!

The system is extremely terrible and unfair for hardworking owners. Took me almost 3years, and 30k owed. And my crazy tenant started selling my appliances i provided and got away with all of that as well. The system never considers the undue hardships caused by tenants who don't leave nor pay.

Mass, Uncontrolled Immigration...\nForced MultiCulturalism...\nExtreme Diversity...\nThis is crazy! Yes, We must be deadly crazy!!!

As an immigrant I also see the problems with how govt has initiated and went crazy with its immigration program Everyone is right here. The problems are genuine. They can't tell their head from tail. I hope people stop blaming each other while situation improves hopefully. ❤

Simple solution the rent must be deposited in an escrow account with the Landlord and Tenant board and if not, eviction in two months. NO non payments. Make no wonder small landlords are getting OUT of the market. Who needs this level of crazy

The aging population theory requires immigrants to maintain gdp. The problem is a huge lack of government assistance with housing, healthcare, social services, ect. This seems to be increasing homelessness globally to the point laws are being passed to combat homelessness now. Crazy times when the solution of increasing government aid and assistance is rejected year after year

thats crazy

Immigration is crazy in canada i live in a small town where east indians have taken over most businesses and only hire their own family leaving almost no jobs. Cant even afford to go through school for a better job cause I cant aford anything. Fuck you Justin.

Nobody is anti immigration. Canada was born on immigration and there was always a consensus until Trudeau son came into office. It’s the crazy afflux without proper housing and services that make people change their mind on immigration…

It’s crazy how most people think that Canada is importing an army of workers !!\nOnly a small percent of the million that come in every year have work visas (in the UK it is 15% and Canada is similar). The large majority are students from developing countries who are looking to immigrate to the first world but don’t have a job, education or any skills. Then it is family reunification and refugees. We are taking in very few highly skilled workers.

41k is crazy ?

It's crazy that you don't hear about the uncontrolled migration problem in Eastern societies.

Women's in the world s global depression don't ever need a crazy cycle crippled function of thy crippled veteran z like me

Crazy! We’re not doing good here in The States either.

not paying rent then take it off their income, absolutely crazy what tenants get away with in this country, shame on our laws, these renters are criminals

that wouldn't happen in your life if you care about your country you support it because it's wrong that's how you are you don't know how to think about what's right and wrong you can't do anything because the taliban control is crazy because you people are afghans , libya, syria you people in the middle east are ignorant

I'm surprised The Guardian of all outlets is reporting on this. Crazy, that's how you know things are bad.
