Canada needs a strong and forward looking government, and streamlined legislations. Sorry for the affordability issue but Canada is the second largest country by land size. More land should be allocated for apartments and infrastructure. As simple as this. \n\nBecause of vast vested interest and NIB, we are stuck and can’t come up with a meaningful solution.

There is no place better and everyone knows it . Fail . Even with all the issues we have ours is better then everywhere else with ease . Lol and anyone who thinks otherwise is WRONG .

Trudeau not going to do anything about the immigration issue. He has flooded Canada with immigrants on purpose. It is part of his (WEF) Plan to destabilize Canada, to redistribute our wealth via the Carbon Tax to useless foreign immigrants and to impoverish and enslave all of us. This is on purpose, intentional. WEF Trudeau is a traitor and a criminal.

As much as I'd like to blame it all on the Trudeau government, many of Canada's problems are systemic. Also at least some of the housing cost issues can be blamed on the previous Conservative government, who did everything they could to kick the can down the road and keep the house price gasbag inflating. We should have had a proper correction after the 2007/8 global financial crisis, but we didn't. However the Liberal government has done nothing in the last 9 years to improve things, and in fact the record high immigration levels have undoubtedly contributed to housing demand.

This is how racists are west ...and west say they are civilised..didnt rhey know meaninhmg of civilised...\nCanada interfering in other country internal issue ...racists

Justin Castro this Immigration issues is totally your Fault..You knew this would BREAK and BANKRUPT Canada ...part of your plan to destroy Canada.

The fact that housing is suddenly a political issue shows just how out of touch these champagne liberals are and how much they dispise the lower classes.

Why does the video start by talking about immigrants, but then they interview homeless Canadians about the housing issue? Shouldn't they interview homeless immigrants?

My anger issues would never????????

My god people. Should be ashamed for their behavior.. He obviously has some anger issues and hopefully will get help ??????

WHAT DOES THAT HAVE TO DO WITH AUSTRALIA. Bunch of goblins trying use another countries issues to BOLSTER Australias RACIST BS. My understanding is, AUSSIES got a problem with STAGNATION. you all live in a bubble with bunch of lazy WOGs collecting life long BENEFITS> Living on the DOLL for life as they say in UK.. Racists..

Do we have a follow up on this issue?

It needs to get under control now! Take a look at Great Britain, and the issues that they having now.

As someone who has lived in europe and traveled allot. Most people really dont appreciate the positives in canada and have a false understanding on what it really is like growing up and having a family in most parts of the world. Canada is not perfect and has many issues but most people have no idea how ppl libe in rest of the world.

Blaming immigrants is a bit odd and clearly not addressing the real issues of the housing crisis which is insufficient supply and financial investment (essentially you can make the most money out of any investment in it with incentives governments have had in place for years - a classic bubble). For health care, clearly a lack of sufficient funds for an aging society and with worse and worse lifestyles (food, exercise) for our increased longevity. If we don't want immigrants we should consider increasing wages for certain work with clear shortages such as long term care for the elderly - which for reasons stated before, will have a demand that grows exponentially.

I think the customer have some mental issues . Otherwise a normal person can't behave like that , Shame on you !!!!

There is something definitely wrong with Trudeau.. he needs to resign and get help for his mental issues..

If you want to know the migration details in canada, just look to the usa...the issues they have there, mirror ours here..but on larger scale

No countries want these Palestinians, be it Muslim countries or not. They poised a security, social and territorial issues.

I am starting to have an issue with muslim immigrants after watching all of these pro-Hamas rallies; can't believe this is Canada.

Um, actually lots of Canadians care where the immigrants are coming from, especially other immigrants. And lots of Canadians want immigration to stop all together as much as that would be possible. But a lot of those people think Pierre Poilievre will be their saviour and on the immigration issue, he won’t be.

Medical shortages. My Grandson sat in the ER for 8 hours yesterday with a broken collarbone. He is 3 years old numerous patients skipped ahead of him with self inflicted issues. The was also another gentleman with a broken ankle sitting there he asked how much longer and got snapped at by the nurse. Good thing it wasn’t the day before because the ER was shut down for the day. Time to stop importing until we recover

This was Trudeau’s fault, remember when he said everyone is welcome, when you bring in over a million people with all the issues named by Mr Lilley you have to wonder. Trudeau is incompetent and shouldn’t be in the position he’s in, he caused the immigration issue and continues to spend taxpayers money on everything except Canadians.

This issue is just but one of the many created in the purposeful destabilization of our country. Yes, Trudeau is responsible for it all and has absolutely no inclination to fix it. Far be it for the puppet Trudeau to operate in opposition of the globalist agenda he’s been groomed to participate in.

Why every countries issue is Canada's problem? For eg: Trudeau keeps saying no one cares about what's happening in Ukraine. Why Ukraine is Canada's problem? Why our tax money goes to Ukraine? Let Ukraine takes care of its own problem. Stupid Trudeau has no right to play with our tax money on foreign issues period. This Trudeau guy is a pure psycho. Canada is falling apart and becoming worse than 3rd world counties and yet this Trudeau worries about Ukraine and imposing bull shit taxes on Canadians like carbon tax what environmental change has he done with carbon taxes? Every country in the world doesn't have carbon tax so what this Trudeau trying to do with climate change when the rest of the world don't give a damn? Trudeau is not just a psycho but a brainless and corrupted piece of s***. He must go home immediately or go live in Ukraine.

When will Pierre Pollievre acknowledge this obvious serious issue? \n\nIts obtuse, but he's silent. You know who was calling it out long ago? Maxime Bernier. \nCalled names for saying the obvious. Now that we are all suffering its finally newsworthy?

Canada is beholden to the UN and WEF. We have signed agreements, immigration won't stop/slow, even under conservatives.\nHas Pierre called out the source of our destructive policies? No, he points at Trudeau. Well it's obvious it isn't Trudeau. Trudeau isn't in control of all western nations, all seeing the same issues.

Under control? He caused all of this immigration of people - this is what is causing all the housing and rental issues. Too many people coming in ......stop it.

Fees have just gone up for PR cards by12 pct, while his immigration and TFWP comes with the housing crisis and affordability issues the government and schools are raking in a whole lot of money from these suckers. Mr clueless in the capital always adopts the , “ it wasn’t me” response to all problems he creates.

Remember how JT would not close the illegal border crossing in Quebec? We have an immigration problem and an illegal immigration issue- all JT's policies.

Few years ago JT said Canada is a basically racist country built by old stock whites and that he was going to change that. Visit to Toronto can easily confirmed he was working hard on this issue.

As Canadian who was a two term elected official, I would say that one large issue\nis too many government staff. These people are less than competent/unionized, and do not answer to\nthe community, rather they see themselves as superior. For instance, the BC Wildfire\nservice burned out 250 homes by Shuswap Lake last summer by lighting a backfire.\nThey told the local logging contractors they couldn’t put out the fire because the\nBCWS were the experts. Actually the BCWS crews are children with connected parents\ngoing to university. They don’t start on the fire when it is small and easy to extinguish.\nThey aren’t workers, they are sitting in class most of the year. They eat breakfast in a restaurant\nin town then get to the fire by 10ish and go home for supper around 4:30. They come home clean\nfrom the fire.\n Trudeau and Singh are fans of Satan Klaus and that cocksucker Yuval Harari. \nThey don’t respect the will and soul of the citizens.\nWe are all Truckers Now.\nNeed another convoy soon.

It's like Turdeau doesn't realize he's been the Prime Minister for 8 years and it's his shit leadership that has caused all the issues in Canada.

Some Canadians have been screaming about this for *YEARS.*\n\nWe have always been a small population on a massive landmass. It's part of our cultural identity. Then Trudeau and his ilk come along and decide to irrevocably change the face of this nation for a bunch of nonsensical reasons that are easily disproved. Nobody asked for this. Nobody was consulted. There was no vote. Canadians had no say - at all - in the fact that their country was going to change so dramatically.\n\nTrudeau is going to lose the election because of his policies, but sadly, the Conservatives replacing him will do no better when it comes to *this* particular issue.

in Canada we have a large issue with the racism and hate from the USA coming into Canada to the point people are okay with politicians saying they will take rights away from entire groups of people just because it might make their life easier, we also have a country that is now run by corporations and not the people

This issue needs to be escalated. Why should a customer always have the right to abuse the employees for whatever reason and treat them like a bloody pet?? What's the contribution of the company for their employees in this case?? Why should anyone be mistreated with pure racist remarks and business remains silent for whitewashing all the shit for the sake of building a humble image of the company?? That definitely is the revision of the pre 1865 era yet again with a new face. ??

This video failed to cover the root of most issues that lead to these problems. The recent surge in foreign students is caused by lack of regulations on private schools who brought in excess amount of students because of the higher fees they can charge. This in combination of the booming short-term rental lead to shortage in housing. In regards to the healhcare in Quebec, the doctors association is very powerful and influential, yet the system is outdated and the shift to the private sector has increased the issues.

It's really frustrating that people are pinning this issue on international students and immigration. A real issue is that housing is a commodity and is treated as such. People are occupying housing without the intent of living there, like the narrator stated. You cannot tackle homelessness issues without changing something in the way that the housing market is structured.

It is a government inspired crisis this time. The Treasury have to sell Bonds to cover the trade imbalance and the government spending imbalance. In order to sell them they have to raise interest rates and the old long-term, low risk, low interest, AAA investments (including Treasury Bonds), held by the banks (often due to government regulatory policy), become next to worthless. The next milestone is the 15th when the government issue a new batch of Bonds. I have approximately 350k stagnant in my portfolio that needs growth. What is the best way to take advantage of this downturn?

Canada needs immigrant money but not immigrants who may become legal citizens later. Simple solution, stop issuing visas.

I'm 36 born and raised Canadian and if I were able to get out of this country I would... I was rushed to the hospital with congestive heart problems not as far as failure but definitely issues and I waited over 14 hours in the waiting room. Taxes are out of control government is no better than a communist government with Trudeau I wish nothing good for that goof. And I don't find it going to get any better within my lifetime

I'm a canadian in my late 20s and now I can't even afford a home. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against all the people that have came here, but there has been too many in too short of a time period. The government should've propped up the infrastructure to accommodate these immigrants before initiating this plan of overimmigration. Sure you are giving us a first time home buyer credit and only allowing individuals with a PR to purchase a home, but there is still an underlying issue of how born and raised citizens are now struggling. I cannot imagine how much worse it is for those who are coming here for an education. Not to include the lack of jobs, it is a tough job market out there as well, I may have to move to the US to have a professional career, which is not ideal because I want to stay in Canada.

Immigration is viewed as a solution to a slowing economy and all of the problems it brings are ignored as long as the economy is stable and interest rates are low. But it is such a flawed ideology that only serves to diminish national identity, disrupt harmony and create social issues.

700,000 of the 1.1 million that came to Canada are students. The international student system needs to be overhauled. The university/colleges who want international students must register with the feds. Those with permits MUST BE MADE to build, own, and provide international students with housing. When an international student is offered a placement in a Canadian education institution, they are also offered housing built by that institution. Once acceptance is made, then the details are sent to the feds and the visa is finally issued. This way, everyone who comes, has housing, it takes pressure off the domestic housing market, the students themselves know where they are going to be and how much things will cost, including the housing, and the Canadian institutions who want the stdents, have to now pay for them. This will force the education institutions to build more housing, lower the number of students they bring in, and offer much more remote learning opportunities if the program really does not require the students to come at all. Pass the bill onto the institutions, and the problem will quickly resolve. The federal government is being LAZY. If it wants people, it has to focus on a system that makes sense for people to come to Canada, insure the institutions dont take advantage of these students AND NOT shift the housing problem to the domestic market. The federal and provincial governments also need to organize themselves with each other. The provinces should tell the federal government how many they can take in based on housing stock and unemployment rate, and the feds only grant visas based on those numbers, and the visas require those coming to be in the province that has space for them. This way, you help to take pressure off the larger cities and spread growth to areas of the country that wants the growth. The approach needs to be bottom up, so needs and capacity drive the numbers allowed in.

Canadians are blaming the international students who pay five times. If you know you don't have room to accommodate more students, why are you inviting them? The only issues discussed are international students who add to your economy, while refugees also need housing and have to be supported by the government. As for charging a student five times and then blaming them for it, I find it very hypocritical. It is indicative of the sheer incompetence of this country.

Yeah? Well, not to worry...this world is about to change beyond the imagination...canada and the rest of the world will be living in abundance in the near future...no matter, I plan on leaving canada when things become better, and they WILL get better...but, for me, architecture is a major issue...the buildings/houses here look more like institutes and 'feel' cold; whereas some other places look more like what I love...Tartarian buildings...so I'm gonna be moving to a place that has more Tartarian buildings that are more welcoming and warm...just sayin... ✌✌

Because cheap and greedy employers have made employees life miserable and have moved the Canadian life style and living standards to lowest level in history and people feel helpless and getting mental health issues but these criminals are getting rich and richer.

I and my wife had a quarel about this particular issue. I am currently in Nigeria and doing well cos I am a Software Engineer and I do remote jobs that pays very well. I have my own house, cars and my daughter goes to one of the best school in town. \n\nBut for some reason she wants us to relocate. She's been hammering on this particular topic for a long time now, and tbh I am very okay with where I am, I live like a king here why should I travel to another land and start licking someone's ass? \n\nI told her if she's persistent on this issue I will send her and my daughter to go then I can go visit time to time. But I am not about to leave my country just cos other people are doing so. My reality is different.

Canada has sadly taken a hit. I say with no hate..... but we let too many people into our nation. The housing issue is one thing, but housing can be built. My sadness comes from the change in our Canadian culture. Canadians were always known to be nice people, polite and generous people but the more foreigners we let in, I see less friendly Canadians, less polite Canadians.... our culture is changing for the worse because of letting other cultures blend in.

I'm coming for my Master's in Ontario, I'm scared that Canada is full now and it doesn't need immigrants due to housing, unemployment issues etc.\n\nNot sure what to do, should I hold back until situation gets better
