Could this video be more racist, funny whenever it says the word “Native Canadians” it shows white people. Actual Native People’s are the indigenous peoples of this continent, did anybody ask them if they were Ok with all them Europeans coming over.\nThe present issues with immigration and the growing pains we are having is really a good problem, because the alternative would be the baby boomers dying off and just leaving empty houses and ghost towns, and productivity completely disappearing.

This is not even remotely sustainable and has huge implications for our standard of living, gdp per capita, productivity, healthcare, housing, infrastructure etc. Canadians need to wake up.

We need more immigrants here. Places are closing due to labour shortage. Unfortunately we cannot house them at this moment. Slow immigration temporarily while we build housing. Shameful we invite good people here and make them sleep in streets. We need smart immigration.

By listening your arguments I doubt if Canada is even a democratic country or controlled by housing constituent builder mafia,,can't govt intervene

Why are so many immigrants leaving Canada? because they are not getting Free Money Free Housing Free Education that's why!

Instead of blaming these people, one must question their own government authorities who make the rules and legislation to facilitate this. Maybe it's just the truth of a desperate Canadian economy that needs immigrants to keep fueling the 'aging' Canadian economic engine. These people come in and work hard, odd jobs (not to mention the exceptional skilled ones as well like Doctors, health care workers etc.) which the regular Canadian wouldn't do. I've been in Canada for 2 years without a Family doctor. Thank God, the last 10 different Doctors I met were all fresh immigrants and came to my rescue. Ask your conscience, without these immigrants, you wouldn't be getting your late night coffee at the time Hortons drive thru, no one to take your blood works without you waiting several months in waiting, no ways for universities to subsidize tuition fees for the poorer Canadian students. If immigrants stop coming in, the nice detached home you live in will go down in value, the nice truck you drive will become more expensive, your kids University tuition fees will sky rocket, Canadian companies selling groceries, furniture, etc. Will have lesser revenue and eventually get eaten up be American giants, Canadian companies won't have cheap labour to build those much needed housing. \nNot only question your government, but also question your 'own' people.. Where are they to serve you? Where are the so called patriotic 'original' Canadian Doctors'? They are off to US to earn more money. U think they care enough for their home country?\n If Canada won't, somebody Else will accept these people. Hence get rid of ur ego and attitude, it's YOU that needs immigrants more than they need you ?? \nLastly, don't forget your ancestors too arrived here in ship loads from Europe as immigrants, taking away the land belonging to the native Indians who were slaughtered and today live as prisoners in reservation lands... on their own soil. So please stop this hypocritical bullsh$@. Maybe it's that karma that's catching up?

Students are young and add to the workforce. Unlike unvetted refugees who immediately get financial assistance housing medical dental schooling benefits for their entire families and for decades. I would rather have students who contribute over 4 billion dollars to the Canadian universities and are willing to work and support themselves and their families.

Worst possible timing, too many people coming , where is the housing, no smarts there,?? Billions cast to the questionable programs , while people sleep in vans, cars and the street, Who is the PM, perhaps he thought anniahlating our cultural integrity, too many too fast. Must be over my head !

OK, there is NOTHING any politician can do about the real estate market. The people who can don't want to ... there is too much money being made. Billions and billions are pouring in from outside of Canada as the rich look for safe havens to squirrel their money away. Realtors make tons of money satisfying the highest bidder. Banks have an endless stream of mortgage revenue and investors earn returns on their money. Now, if you vote in communists, I say that without prejudice, they could freeze rents, build low-rent apartment buildings, freeze interest rates, limit gains on the resale of residential housing, block foreign ownership on and on. The last people to have any interest in fixing this will be any party on the right.

I moved to Canada last year, I repent now .. life was so easy in my country. I cannot think of buying 500 sft house here. The prices are skyrocketing , I cannot think of doing savings .. My life standard was much better back in my country. I think this Canada is thriving on immigrants money.. now that I already have spend my hard earned money from back home into Canada, I am now good for nothing , no use to this country.

Is not just house prices , that's nothing compared to many other problems with Canada. There is no life in Canadian living , health care is a joke, hospitals are another story, Dr's are businessmen, weather is another thing, food quality is lowest in the world, politicians are stealing by law, Canada was ok 25 years ago and before. It's ruined now. It won't be the good country again , damages are deep.

These non citizens seem to think the government should bow down to those people who contractually were not entitled to stay beyond their pre determined exit time. The Government>>>>is the citizens of Canada. There are legitimate reasons that the citizens of Canada have to dismiss these non citizens, in the pursuit of keeping Canada intact and to ensure the citizens first, have harmony, jobs, housing and affordability. Time to expel those that will only upset these factors....go back home and live your lives where you are already citizens....Canada owes you nothing.....your Country should call you home to collect their taxes from you.

Housing and weather conditions are extremely difficult to live in Canada .\nI would never choose Canada even if they provide me with free housing and job opportunities and 20,000 dollars a month.

Housing and weather conditions are extremely difficult to live in Canada .

Why do they keep bringing them in , especially when there is a housing shortage.

The government is to blame 100%. They must stop bringing people into Canada. Sort out the housing crisis. Create more jobs, and let the Canadians and legal immigrants perform. Once they are done with PGWP, if the country doesn't need you, they must go home.

Trudeau is using mass immigration to prop up his historic housing bubble. He's admitted that he needs them to create a housing shortage to keep prices high so boomers don't lose their retirement (which is basically all in housing). Clearly Trudeau has no plan for the next generation who won't even have a house for their retirement.

This liberal government has caused nothing but trouble not only for Canadians, but now lying to these students by saying they will get permanent residence knowing the housing crisis. Liberals have got to go!

Too many students allowed in, too fast, solely to the benefit of scamming 'consultants', and scam papermill 'schools', most run by Indians...impacting housing, healthcare, transit, food banks, levels of shoplifting, and criminal activity even including political assassinations. This will be turned around starting next Fall. Get out and Vote!

WORKING HARD\nI DONT THINK SO\nTHEY COMPLAIN SO MUCH\nTO MANY RULES FOR IGNORANT DISRESPECTFUL PEOPLE??\nNO JOBS AND HOUSING \nSO THEY HAVE TO GO BACK HOME\nTAXPAYERS MONEY F THAT ? \nTHEY ALSO GO TO FOOD BANKS\nTHATS FOR CANADIANS \nNOT FOR THESE PEOPLE\nGO BACK HOME AND HELP YOUR COUNTRY ??

Trudeau has failed Canada in every way. Stop the immigration. We cant feed and house our own. Resign Trudeau!!

How can that possible if you buy a house in US 700 thousand close to New York and same house in Brampton 2 million this is also because of international students

They caused problems in their own country and crime and wars and now their bringing it to Canada more an more.we don't need more but less because more will be well they are Canadians now an have been.they are baby happy.they also don't live like Canadians and pack themselves in houses and apartments and hide themselves cause their no legally here

Sorry, but I didn't know 'so many people' were leaving Canada. In fact, my European friends living in Canada, LOVE Canada. Their number one reason? The government is for the people. Their numerous benefits, programs and services (employment Insurance, child benefit, pensions, benefits for housing, student aid, family benefits, grants and funding opportunities, disabilities and their recently implemented dental care plan), says it all. Sure the cost of living is high, but where isn’t? Especially after covid and especially if you want a decent quality of life. Their car insurance and phone plans are also expensive but they're getting better. Stay out of the big cities if you can't afford it. There are other parts of Canada that is affordable. \n\nBtw, the healthcare industry, particularly the long-term care sector is a good place to earn a decent living. They are always looking for RNs, PSWs etc. \n\nIn the end, the positives outweigh the negatives. Besides having free healthcare and the many generous social services and benefits, Canada is also a progressive country with strong social policies, including gender equality, LGBTQ+ rights and environmental sustainability, (we’re drinking out of those gross cardboard straws now. Hello?). Then there is our natural and breathtaking landscapes, our four seasons, our excellent education system, diverse communities, friendly people, our cool festivals (The Calgary Stampede, Montreal International Jazz Festival, Caribana, Toronto International Film Festival, Just for Laughs Montreal, Pride Toronto are a few that come to mind), our great air and water quality, strict gun laws, legal cannabis… I could go on and on.\n\nIf you're able to afford living in Canada, consider yourself fortunate.

Worked since I was 16 years old now I’m 56 and trouble befallen me I’ll warn all immigrants now when you get a pension you will be needing at least 6 people paying and living in one house great job Canada never could buy a house even at 40$ an hour 7 days a week money went faster than a cup of water ?

Our UK Speaker of the House of Commons does the same act of trying to escape. So it is like a performance in a way.

This is happening in Australia too. I see homeless migrants and many are forced to live in bad conditions. They are not just house sharing, but sharing rooms!.

And because housing and life is not affordable in Canada Canadians are leaving to other geographies in the global south (particularly latinamerican) to live their Canadian dream and in doing so they are really destroying the social fabric of these places. What they are doing to the Yucatán peninsula is really nasty. Local people cannot afford life at home because Canadians and US-americans are raising prices everywhere. People should demand their governments to solve the crisis, and at the dime they should organize in communities to gain back their self-determination, instead of flying to other places and continue to spread crises.

Well they do give people coming here money and housing. . . At least in alberta.

What Canada NEEDS is AFFORDABLE Housing for the working poor, OW, ODSP and get the homeless who want housing.\n\nAll Pubic Colleges and Universities should be AUTOMATICALLY adding a housing cost for International Students. This way these foreigners aren't creating housing problems for the local community. So Colleges and Universities should be buying property within REASONABLE DISTANCE from their Campuses that are only for CURRENT STUDENTS actually taking classes. \n\nThe Government needs to be RESPONSIBLE for LOW INCOME housing. More people are finding themselves unable to take care of themselves. Which leads to severe drug abuse and homelessness.\n\nNew Development should be required to be the most effective version and sustainable version of Green. 15% of the apartments should be for low income, OW, ODSP and Elderly. This will help the Government properly plan out Public Housing across each Province and Territories.\n\nThe next question is why are all these East Indians who aren't becoming TRUSTWORTHY doctors, nurses, business owners competing to live in Parkdale, Toronto versus the East Indian Hubs in Ontario.

I lived in vegas for a very short time, it was planned to be living there but we went back to Canada. I am dual citizen either way. I will say that i like what that robert bigalow was doing with the budget suites. I stayed there temporarily. It would be so awesome for canada to do this for the housing crisis. It was back in 2005 but it was $500 rent each month and there wasnt huge barriers to be able to rent. \n\nHealth care was scary yes, im not used to that kind of way being indigenous and having my status card. Lots of doctors moved to the states from Canada too, so i heard. Many of us havent seen a doctor for to long and actually need to

I guess the other reason for outrageous home prices is foreign investment in the housing sector and/or private equity buying up large amounts of homes. Or is that annoying to point out?

Giving the government the benefit of the doubt, maybe this is their strategy to increase cheap labour in the country since the skilled workers program does not provide construction workers badly needed in the country to build houses

Canada has been the down the road of high immigration in the past, erven in the face of housing shortages. This happened right after World War II. To deal with the shortage of rental housing stock then in the large cities, the government put demands on immigrants and refugees to settle in agricultural areas and small town Canada. But, it seems today that most immigrants just want to go to the already overcrowded cities, especially Vancouver, Edmonton, Toronto and Montreal. Rural Canada is now facing manpower shortages, but has a fair amount of housing, as many small towns have actually shrunk in population over the years. and could use the people. Immigrants assimilate better in small towns.

Yeah! Much better live in Brazil so! Shut up!! High cost of living is very relative! To have the same conditions in Brazil, for instance, you might have at least 4 times the minimum wage. Violence?! Shut up again! You have no ideia about criminals!! Housing will basically depend on how close to the big centers you will leave!

J Biden should be in a senior citizen assisted living home not the White House.

Indian Punjabi here(Never interested in moving to Canada). I'm glad I didn't choose it. I love nature with predominant winter climate but God damn! 2 Million for that shitty house? I would rather buy a mountain in J&K with half the price

We need to put a HOLD on immigration , until housing and money make a catch up.

these universities want more students and there isn't enough space. Why don't they build big dorm areas that would house these students?

Hahaha it's like telling someone to leave your home and go to a neighbour's house.

China has had this problem bcus ppl would buy more property to rent. We have more than enough houses. This is why china limited the buying of houses since this was abused by people with money and have kxlled the rent and housing prices.

3:23 Toronto average 1 bedroom is not $3000/m - this is a controlled demolition, all done to the west by design with the waves of immigration, their controllers want them to setup this dire situation, that people will beg the government to solve their problems. Then your rights can be removed and you’ll accept their version of an NWO. The tavistoks are more clever than us.\nMy advice to young Canadians. Move out of province, buy a cheaper house or buy land and build your own. Start your own enterprise and work remotely. Or just move out of Canada to some of Nomad Capitalist’s or Joel Skousen’s suggested countries.

they sell their extra pumped price houses and move away...it is normal

Not surpriseed, the USA has a lighter tax burden and Cheaper housing cheaper vehicles, cheaper clothing, Cheaper food, cheaper fuel and energy, Cheaper phone plans, cheaper vehicle insurance, cheeper electronics and soooo much more

lol the guy says the cost of a house in small town america is cheap..lol its cheap in Canada too...lol wtf is this guy even talking about?

Are you kidding? Yes, houses are cheaper, but look at the cost of medical care, the murder statistics and the miserable education system.

I have lived in Quebec, Ontario, Manitoba and now Alberta. Toronto was beautiful in the 60’s and 70’s then it started to change to what is now overcrowded, expensive and crime ridden. I would not choose it anymore. Winnipeg, Manitoba in the mid to late 80’s was lovely. People were polite especially in winter, when driving was challenging, friendly and it is very cultural. People would say it would be the best city in Canada if it was in the mountains. Now I live in Edmonton, Alberta a dirty city with a council that puts high priced, unaffordable recreation centres ahead of services that would benefit everyone. Now they want to increase the population to 2 million when it can’t afford to sustain the existing population of 1,568,000. The taxes this year have risen to 8.9% and house prices are expected to increase 6.5% for an average price of $458,000. I lived in Calgary, in the Fish Creek provincial park area close to the C-train and a good bus service to downtown. 45 minutes from the mountains and Kananaskis, great zoo, vibrant downtown and if it is not much more expensive than Edmonton and is ranked 7th best city to live in worldwide. To compare the 2 cities, Edmonton tries to be world-class but just doesn’t have what it takes. The people seem to have very little pride in their city, the parks are a mess of weeds which also grow wherever there is green space and they very possibly have the worst and rudest drivers in the country. Very sorry if this offends anyone.

As a Turkish living in Alberta temporarily it’s not my business talking about economy, housing crisis or drug addiction since I am only here for a year. But I must say someting about the hospitaly and friendship. As an introvert I can’t believe that I have so many good friends here. Canadians are really talkative, generous and friendly. And I am glad I am going back home with so many good memories that made me feel like home.

High taxes. Ridiculous housing costs. Extreme wokeness. I'd leave if I was single.
