I'm afraid that with the gun craze down there, I would not consider it. Then, there is the lousy healthcare... And just when I think you guys aren't that bad off, I watch an episode of John Oliver's This Week Tonight, and a plethora of new reasons spring up. \n\nRight now in Canada, there is a Conservative Party that is starting to adopt the MAGA philosophy of consorting with white supremacism, fascism, misogyny and racist, and I cannot imagine moving to a place where this stuff is running rife. \n\nTyler, you are a lovely example of a decent American, and in truth, when visiting the States (which I haven't done for years), I met more people like you than like MAGA. However, my tolerance for stupid, hateful people is far lower since Trump was elected, and I swore I would not visit the US again until the WH, Congress and the Senate clean house of the Republican scourge. \n\nBut moving to the US would never be an option for me. I love Canada. I live in one of the most beautiful parts of Canada - Vancouver Island. I was born here and have visited many places in the world, but this is, and will forever be, home!

People who do this are causing the housing crisis. Canada is not for you to use and abuse. Should be reported and a law created to stop greedy investors.

Owning more houses than you can live in is evil

Over advertise??, green house vegetable ( no taste) , heavy taxes & state monopoly ??? . Savings almost impossible .

Everything that you said about Ontario is the opposite. If you uploaded this 8 years ago, it might still be applicable; but not anymore. Ontario & BC have the highest cost of living. Housing & rentals are skyrocketing day by day because of the lack of supply & high demand. It’s not Canada that I used to know 8 years ago.

Achha bahut hai....but house ? ? car ?

Yeah come on in. This country is very prosperous and happy right now. There's food and housing for all. Our government really cares about us!!!??????????? What a joke

They'll all get insurance, housing and a government check for being an illegal immigrant all the while I cant even get a free ?

Many canadians are homeless or can't afford housing , why are we allowing so many ukranina refugees in hotel rooms all over the country ? But africans and others are in shelters ?! Why does the goverment disriminates?

And you wonder why the house prices are skyrocketing in Canada?

They don't understand that North America doesn't have just unlimited housing

Well when he is gone lots of people will be fighting for these houses including Banks

I see all these comments about we need to fix America or we need to fix our country first or Americans can't find housing Y'all do realize that the only problem is that the rich are just abusing us. There is no way to become that wealthy without screwing someone else over. When were y'all open your eyes and realize that we need to go after the rich people and our own government who helps the rich people.

Step into our house...see what happens. If we would do this to Mexico...all of us would be dead, or worse. Americans have boundaries, and they are, and always will be respected. If those boundaries are not respected...well...step into my house!

SEND THEM BACK, \nWe hardly can have a good life in our own country, NO housing, NO healthcare Insurance, NO good jobs and in NY, they are giving the illegal immigrants housing, food and healthcare, we are the US citizens,hard working and tax payers we can’t get any of these, we have to pay for it all , unbelievable. \nWhy are we keeping quiet About this?

ONTARIO CANADA IS THE SHIT EVERYTHING HOUSING BILLS FOOD IS EXPENSIVE...CARBON TAX THROUGH THE ROOF MILLIONS OF IMMIGRANTS BUSES SUCK EVERYTHING IS GONE HIKING TRAILS NATURE GONE DO TO BUILDING MILLIONS OF HOUSES 700 000 TO MILLION DOLLARS AND THERE ARE NO JOBS MIN WAGE JOB 15 BUCKS AND HR N U ARE LUCKY TO MAYBE GET 10 HRS A WEEK

We need workers, but those workers need housing. How did this happen? Thanks Andrew Jackson.

In all my years, I’ve never seen it this bad! I am 70 years old and at this time I should’ve \nbeen comfortable. I served 22 years in the Canadian military and I’ve always worked. \nNow I have to rely on the Veteran’s Food Bank to get through the months! \nI can’t even afford to get the repairs done on my house!

Fact: The amount of money that is spent on election in this country can erase world hunger and housing issues for ever.

This is all because of the fruit cake, Biden, we have in the White House. Biden and his administration should be prosecuted for treason. The things that he has been doing for other country's to the detriment of his own country is horrendous.

Canada has become an expensive communist shit hole. Bad weather, sky high taxes, unaffordable housing, failing healthcare, freedom and rights being stripped away, this country is hopelessly lost in this cancer woke culture, we have the weak leading the strong. We have a woke PM that is embarrassing on the world stage, his cabinet is opening bought and paid for by the WEF. Canada has become a joke. I wish I could find a new place to live out my remaining years.

Canada does more to discourage start ups then encourage them. Canada is a terrible country to try and start a business which explains why so many exploit the house market, which in turn has made a complete mess of affordable housing for Canadians. Foreign property investing was suppose to have been stopped but the Liberal government changed their mind and decided to allow foreigners to continue buying up properties and driving the house prices higher too the point properties are empty because no one can afford the rental prices. I guess that's why the Federal government introduced a new tax for properties that are vacant. Oh Canada

Independence feeling, tasty food, and no compelled house work, bright days … India is best.

We have people waiting in the streets for years to get permanent housing now you have millions of illegal immigrants that Joe says they're going to get housing they're putting them in motels for thousands of dollars a week this is absolute insanity

Thanks for telling people the truth. People are never told the truth. The Canadian government website is written in simple English and French and is very straight forward and you can apply to come on your own, but people insist in going through agents who are just making money off of them. Please read the website in detail. The government hides nothing on their website. Don't blame the government and try to understand what some of the immigration lawyers and agents are doing to you. If you are not well versed in the English or French language, get someone to help you with the website and application. Stop paying unnecessary money and go directly to the government. The agents and lawyers will be doing exactly what you can do. Not all of them are genuine. The government tells you not to pay people money, come to them. There are refugees sleeping on the pavements. Why come to the country under those conditions. We don't have enough housing right now for people and rents at the condos are very high. A one bedroom apartment in Toronto is about $2,000 plus.

Housing will put a disabled American senior out on the street in hurricane season because landlords want 2x rent. They get 3x rent for illegals & housing will pay it.

Raman Sir why you are not taking project of building houses, which will help to solve the new immigrant problem upto certain extent.

We need to fix ourselves before we can fix someone else we barely got houses for ourself

Any house free of mortgage ...just paying interest..... Why you don't buy any industrial property than 150 house

And you want to take our guns. What happens when these people have nothing. Yeah they loot and my house gonna have a body count on the thresh hold. Foreign invaders.

THEY HAVEN'T HELP THOSE WHO WERE FORCED HERE IN SLAVERY. THEY WILL NOT GIVE US IMMIGRANT STATUS AS THEY DO OTHERS. OUR GREAT ANCESTORS WERE DROWNED RAPED MURDERED AND FORCED HERE IN ? AMERICA WITH ALL THEIR TRICKS AND WE STILL CANNOT GET JUSTICE DECENT HOUSING BUT THEYRE QUICK TO SAY WORK, WORK,WORK. BUT WORKING DOES NOT GIVE US EQUALITY OROUR 50 ACRES. THEY CAN KEEP THEIR MULE.

I currently moved to usa for a job. But the company is on the smaller side which means im looking for a bigger company. But ideally if i can get us green card, i have to plan to move back because once my job ends i will have to go back. So im saving my money to invest and will buy a house in vancouver or Toronto.

The Longmont is very issue, to find place to live is very difficult, the living cost is very high and to find right apartment or house to live in is almost impossible. Be very careful not to turn to live in street in Canada. right now most immigrants are strangling too much.

Wtf NAAAA I LOVE MY LATINOS. BUT WE GOT ENOUGH ISSUES..SORRY yall wanna come here and take our jobs and get free housing and not pay taxes when we struggling to survive and we was born here.

why have housing construction when u can't afford to pay for it

Let us in so the american tax payers can pay for my food stamps medi care housing my 10 kids and hospital bills. Thanks morons

I’d prefer to bring them in. If we don’t have enough housing as it is, look, a bunch of able bodied people just waiting at the border, perhaps these same folks can be employed as builders.

Canada's Communist party have solutions on Farming-Healthcare-Housing etc.. Did you know poverty allieviation completed 10 yrs ago in China, CGTN The Point-Hub-Heat, Einar Tangan-Lijijing-Martin Jacques , Cyrus Janssen in Beijing now

There are more empty houses than homeless in the US

Prices of rent and houses is going to increase drastically in Texas now. This clown of a president is to blame. Don’t try to change my mind as reality proves he’s been the worst choice in history.

Good day ma i need house keeper

House adress where you’ll stay?\nPlans after school?\nStatement of purpose?\nThey have everything in their system

The part about the banking system is at best a half truth. Canada looked like it came through the 2008 crisis better than the States because the government did not allow a correction in the housing market. Rather, the Canadian government kept the party going with free money, which made the balance sheets of the banks look good, but over time caused housing prices to inflate far faster than household income. The result now is wildly over-inflated housing prices which - coupled with increasing immigration of well to do foreigners pricing Canadians out of the market - has come to the point that many Canadians born in Canada can no longer afford to live there. This in turn exacerbates the brain drain to the USA, which further reduces Canada’s innovativeness and international competitiveness. \n\nHowever, the universe mandates equilibrium, and this house of cards will come down sooner or later. When it does, Canada will be facing a far worse financial and economic crisis than the USA did in the late 00’s, as all of the Big 5 banks will become insolvent.

Your house looks so beautiful

Surge in residency LITERALLY drives up housing costs...I understand but way America is set up, need yall to chill...

You mean $1700 for a 3 bdr house? You need to add $1000 (USD) to that amount to get a 1 bdr apartment i live in here in the US, 15 miles from the CBD. Another Zimbo here.

Thx Bran- dopey \nLet them go live at your beach house you acquired from shakin down foreign country’s

Forget about housing, I bought a combo at Subway sandwiches yesterday in Toronto and it cost $20

It's almost as though leaders in Canada and Australia have been reading from the same script for at least a decade. Whether the looming recession downunder is 'technical' or not, house prices and rentals only seem to keep going up.

What is in America? Homeless and Murder poor hospitals. Here in Dubai, it is clean, and the best education and house are clean. Come here in Dubai and work!
