They Indians probably send their income to India to build their houses.

I live in Toronto 35 years and this city and county became total garbage. Uncontrolled immigration with people with no skills, no jobs and astronomical cost of living.\nMost of Europeans going back. We did build this country and give it away...\nCrime and theft everywhere and biggest exporting items are stolen cars . Wow

Take Israeli to live in Canada. They want build a settler.

It also doesnt help that the gov are just expanding cities instead of building up smaller communities with all amenities. Id love to move more north but there are just no job opportunities.

Be thankful they at least don't cause trouble unlike in Europe and US where a certain migrant type is causing huge problems.Still as a non white i understand the white sentiment of having to see the demographics change so rapidly whether they are a peaceful lot or not.But it is a little too much to demand that acceptance by the host country means migrants should not practice their religion or build places of worship or keep cultural practices.That is too much to ask.The important thing is that they have not made any demands of their host countries unlike what is happening in Europe with certain type of migrants professing to a certain faith

You actually can flip the switch overnight to build massive amounts of housing.

Isn’t tearing down a building to build another entire up to the land owner? What’s wrong with that?

2 things: (1)How are Indians to be blamed for the white people homelessness and alcohol/drug use. (2) Since when did Canada belong to the white man? Never was , never is! This land belongs to the Indigenous people, and immigrants build Canada. Everyone is immigrants here, all white skin , French , Indian etc (excepy the Indigenous people). So spred love and unity in this Diversity known as Canada. There are always a majority of races in every city, and that should not raise any questions of racism and judgemental remarks. Instead, focus on drug use , homelessness, and crimes.\n\nAlso, I notice mention of so many Hindu phobia remarks and racism comments in this video as if Hindus are attacking and causing harm on the country or world by extension. Indians come to Canada and bring with them knowledge, culture, values, ethics, money and things that uplift and adds value to Canada, they dont come free and ask for any handout and live on taxpayers money! FACTS IS FACTS , do the research.

I'm Canadian. It is so crazy expensive to live here now...cereal is $9 dollars a box and rent for a one bedroom is $2,500 in a half decent building.

Great video, non political. It’s hard to believe that neither of the large parties in Canada have a plan to mitigate these issues. They’re focused on maintaining their political donations that they barely make contributions. Even with a plan, there is no guarantee that within a 4 year term any politician will be able to impact change with the red tape that every previous government official has added. Decreasing taxes will create an uproar in the government employee. building a department to fight monopolies will require much more tax dollars and time that we don’t have. By the time these changes take place the population will naturally become high income individuals, with low income individuals migrating out of Canada.

If things keep going on this direction the USA will have to build a wall across the border with Canada!

You keep showing Olivia Chow without mentioning that she has broken ground on 2,000 units of affordable housing with less than a year in office. This includes a 900 unit coop at 2444 Eglinton Ave E, the largest in North America and the first major affordable housing project in Ontario in 30 years. She has a plan to build 65,000 units of housing to address the supply crisis and is on track to getting it done. Compare this with the Ford Conservatives who've built 1,140 units of affordable housing with 6 years in office and only have 1/3rd of the housing starts to meet their goal of 1.5 M homes by 2030. Give credit where credit is due and point out failures where our governments are failing us.

They send a lot of money to Ukraine instead of using it to build houses. ENJOY

Our gov says, yes you can build lots of homes in a year, in sims City. No?

wow, can you imagine the pure selfishness of home owners not agreeing to build more homes just because it’ll lower their housing value? do they not think for THEIR future generations?

It's pretty stupid, silly to blame any government , this is a world wide problem, it's big corporations and hedge funds and municipalities creating the housing shortage and affordability. Manr provinces allow buildings turn into condos thus creating shortages and price inreases

Stop bringing in immigrants then and then watch your economy crumble. Canada has no problem bringing in immigrants who work hard, do all the long haul trucking and work all the jobs etc people born in Canada don’t want to do. Blaming immigrants for problems is as old white supremacy and racism in this country. The story of Building this country off of the back of new immigrants is as old as the railroad that built this country all done by Asian labour.\n\nPeople born in Canada also don’t want to have kids. Our birth rate is much lower than the US and other western countries. A high birth is the lifeblood of an economy and the future of a country. \n\nWhite people who are homeless and drug addicted is somehow the fault of immigrants? What a stretch. Brampton always has had white trash going back to the 1980s. I find it funny when the trashiest white people interviewed are calling immigrants a problem LOL. As if they were adding anything to the country other than drinking molson Canadians and smoking cigarettes all day in their garage like King of the Hill and spending their welfare check on drugs and beer.\n\nThe real problem with immigration is that the housing targets haven’t kept up. I feel bad for people who are living on the street and hopeless. This isn’t only a Brampton problem this is a problem across the country. If there’s anything this video highlights it’s the low housing issue and the targets set by the government. \n\nThis country will always need immigrants to support it. The key is to make sure we have the infrastructure in place to support everyone and that’s not the fault of people aka immigrants who come to this country and are told life is good here. It’s a problem of city planners and politicians who aren’t doing their job properly.

1. drugs should be illegal. 2. a stop in immigration for the next 20 years . 3 build more housing

The government has caused this problem. It needs to get out of the way. Elect people that push for progress, it's not the liberal party. Promises from the government to build affordable housing, or subsidize housing will always under deliver and just cost everyone else more.

NEED CHINESE TO BUILD LIKE IN AUSTRALIA

And homies will continue to ignore the man who builds your homes. It's never gonna change until I get the bare min.

Why do they keep showing Justin Trudeau? These problems have been building for decades. I sold my house 5 years ago for over 100% what I paid for it, and lived in it for about 5 years. The current government had been in power for two years at the time. We’re never going to solve these problems as a nation if we just use them for partisan election engineering instead of recognizing the real causes.

If you let them build hindu statues and design your homes to look like those in India and develop their culture and food,they can't be stopped you just hqve to gave up

Too much immigration to boost GDP figures. And all those people needs a place to live! They are not building homes as fast as they are importing new people! Same issue in Australia, but seems worse in Canada..

So people don't want to live in Canada yet the primary driver of increasing housing prices (that you say the government is responsible for) is people coming from out of the country to live in Canada. Also, are you suggesting the government should be building/financing housing? This video just rattles off problems and presents incoherent reasoning for many of them. One of the few issues you were building a strong causal chain on--natural gas prices--the government did exactly what you imply they aren't, which is act...in this case by reversing course on the carbon tax.

I’m an Indian (don’t live in Canada) and really think making temples in a foreign country is ridiculous. Please assimilate, don’t replace their culture. Also, if God is everywhere, worship at home instead of taking up space to build temples and gurudwaras smh

From a FRENCHMAN\nWe all complain about immigrants coming but there are 2 things we forget: 1. As long as we Europeans keep putting people that we’ve our interests down there, those countries will be deteriorating and people will keep coming up here in Europe or even in the US for Central Americans! 2. Let’s say we kick the butt of our migrants back to where they are from… well… we can do that for sure… but who cleans our office, who does the tough jobs for us while not complaining about lower pays and tougher conditions? Who build our stupid buildings here in Europe or even in America?? Who???? And who clean our toilets? If you guys want to kick immigrants, feel free to do so, but beforehand, tell your sons and your daughters to take onto those immigrant jobs! Tell our European and American or even Canadian kids to do those lousy jobs! With the spoiled way we raised them, how many would be candidate??? All of our kids all want to be “big boss” and earn 80k or 130k per year!!! Let those 49k jobs be for legal brown, black and yellow immigrants and let those fruit picking and construction work be for barely legal immigrants… \nThis is why I am leaving Canada soon as I am fed up with this hypocrit and superficial culture that is obsessed with money and where u gotta work work work and get everything you saved to ou taxes!! Fed up with the lousy and inefficient Canadian healthcare and transportation system (Europe has a much better one for sure). Plus who wants to end up lonely smoking weed in this lonely and depressed country anyway???

Ever heard the term \nNO SKIN OFF MY TEETH \n\nCanada is awesome and if you want something more \nWHY NOT ??\n\nSo many who leave make sure that they maintain roots here \n\nNewcomers desire our wealth building due to there entrepreneurial skills \n\nCanadians leaving have all the advantages in the World to EXPLORE

When it comes to housing, Canada copied the worst parts of American suburbia. Zoning laws prevent density and public transit is almost non existent with people being dependent on petro. The United States has many of the same problems as Canada at a local and state level. The federal government can't do much to stop it. They need to decrease immigrantion while building more density to help smooth this out, but even the average Canadian has NIMBYISM that Trudeau can't fix.

It seems to me that a much better solution to the population growth issue is to give Canadians tax breaks for having lots of children, rather than importing people who won't integrate and who can't speak English. This approach would give the country time to build the infrastructure necessary to house everyone.

most people want to live with other like-minded people.\n\nyou need to separate and build your own communities.\n\nand ffs, quit building layers upon layers of government.

It's a bit more complicated than greedy landlords raising rent to extract the maximum amount of money they can... Most landlords aren't some out of touch billionaire property mogul. They're your humble mum and dad investors who worked their butts off to buy an investment property with the hopes of building wealth so they have something to give their children. These people have their own bills to pay. Rate hikes are making their mortgages increasingly unaffordable, which force them to pass on these hikes to their tenants, when a lot of times they're hardly making a profit on these properties to begin with.

The hate that some people have. They believe that putting people down builds them up. I do feel sorry for you. If putting people down is your motive, then I am not with your. Fid something positive. You don't like one side over the other. Build up the other. Be a man. There have been too many sheep that just hate. Learning can be a good tool to get over hate. Understanding is another.

What about empty building lots ? Are they expensive to ?

Chill bro, Canada has enough space for 100 million people. The Govt just needs to ease off on the zoning laws, get rid of the bureaucracy involved in approving new build houses.

They dont complain when they killed native americans to build their new colonies where only they are multiplying .

This nation is very overrated beyond belief. I get that the nation has free health care. However, everything is insanely expensive from houses to mere groceries. Specially—in B.C.—rent crisis is an ongoing problem, causing young people to move from one AirBnB house to another. Because the government of the aforementioned province is really hapless and meek. Yes, there are not that many rental units available for young families and fresh-out-of college students. But, we will not build an ample amount of rental housing units for the poor and the young. How can people manage to start a family and a business? You have to come into inheritance to do that. Bad. Really bad.

truth to be told: white people are racist... if the immigrants were Irish, and invaded Brampton with Irish buildings and decoration, they wouldn't say anything, all the opposite, this video would be bragging about the Irish living there.

U can't blame immigrants for following opportunity or wanting better lives for their kids. But u can blame the universities for putting profits ahead of canadian students. U can blame municipal and provincial govts for not building affordable housing in 30 years while selling out land to greedy developers. U can blame the pandemic. U can blame big grocery chains for gauging customers. None of these things have anything to do with trudeau OR immigrants. U fools sayin F trudeau dont even understand how things work.

Blaming the immigrants instead of the laxism of federal and provincial governments in social housing is typical. F*ck off.\n\nYou could maybe... Build public affordable housing to compete with the private sectors and pull the price downward... \n\nNo, it's brown people.

If 75℅plus area is vacant then why dint the Canadian government build houses out there because land is cheap in india i know its not perfect but government provides a subsidy of 200000₹/ for every poor household to build house plus 4℅ housing loan to them as it provides a lot of exoomic activity land can be provided for free or leased dor free for the first 5 years just an idea

The underlining issue wealth inequality. The middles class is being attacked and they don’t even know it.\n\nIf there’s no legislation or bill to stop rich from buying middle class asset it is going to get worse. The rich is always going to have money. \n\nAnswer is to nationalise the housing market. That way you can build homes and sell it or rent for a affordable price.\n\nImmigration is a scape goat. The issue is tax the rich and wealthy elite.

You said it right. Despite the fact that Canada has vast amount of natural resources, not only Canada fails to leverage them to build a better future for all Canadian but it also has the wrong gov't policies. Hopeless.

In 1980, the corporate tax rate was 36%. \n \nToday? 15%, one of the lowest in the OECD. \n \nCorporations only contribute 25% to overall taxes collected. \n \nOver the same period of time, the feds cut building in social housing, and reduced proportionate expenditure in defense and health. \n \nSo here we are.

Problem with housing is no government wanted to build new homes. It doesn’t matter you choose conservative or liberal. If they build new houses fast and cheap ( which they can ) the whole artificially inflated housing market will collapse. Then existing house prices will dramatically decrease. Which is bigger electorate. And nobody wanna loose that ( be it any political party ) so new immigrants and students can go to hell. They are just scapegoats.

Building homes is not the answer. Put a stop to ' bad ' immigration. Serve ' real ' Canadians.

But you can build those 5million homes. England did after the war in the 1940s and 50s. Capitalism just doesn't want to do it!

Geez people - then look for immigrants who can build homes - then they will be able to build their own houses. The housing problem which Canada has is not very hard to solve if they approach it correctly..

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.

Canada would be a much better country if nimbyism ended and people settled with townhouses, despite how big the country is there is only so much desirable and arable land to build a civilization
