I'm doing just fine in Canada, where I've lived my whole life except for 7 years in Japan. Any difficulties people having comes down to the individual, not a systematic national problem. My rent in Vancouver is under $1000, because I haven't moved in 11 years. I have no debt, no car, no expensive lifestyle, no drug habit. I made good choices. Others have not.\n\nCanada is still a land of opportunity if you get a job, get your vaccines, live within your means and don't expect a 1950s style economy, anyone can do fine. Healthcare access needs improvement, but we had a pandemic. The whole world did. \n\nIf you feel like you can't make it in Canada, you have no one to blame but yourself. Everything is relative. And we are living in the safest, cleanest, most stable times ever. Certainly not the cheapest.\n\nCheers - an NDP/Liberal serial voter (and big believer in personal responsibility)

It’s no better in USA. Corporations bought up rentals after 2008 and the rent is outrageous.

The housing shortage is a common thread to the economic/ housing crisis! But why aren’t they building rental units??? Simple, would you build a plane if your passengers simply boarded the plane and refused to pay?? if that were to happen the offending passengers would be de-planed and arrested! \nBut when it comes to renters, they can move in, stop paying rent and it can take 6-12 months to legally evict them. As a former contractor I have been witness to landlords offering cash to tenants and squatters to leave their properties which have always been left trashed and badly damaged! The laws that protect these criminals are a joke and predatory tenants know it! I had a client who rented her condo to a lawyer and after a couple months the tenant stopped paying. She filed for a writ of possesion and waited months for the hearing. She brought all the documentation and the tenant showed up claiming they had cancer ( no documentation, letter from doctors Nothing!) The writ of possession was denied for compassionate reasons! The landlord had a mortgage and was paying the condo maintenance fees, the tribunal didn’t care! \nThey set it aside for six months. In the end cash was offered and the tenant left! After the massive clean up and damage was repaired it was put on the market! This is how far left Canada has gone! There’s simply no way forward!

Girls, I came here as an international student, I make about 150K year, I pay aournd 45% of my salary in taxes and 2500 in rent, that is unfair. My job comes from the U.S. and now I have to face impossible PR process. Canada needs reforms for sure, but think twice, this is not the only country a highly skilled immigrant can go, the world is big, stop blaming international students for everything, we came here following the rules, and we did not write those rules. To be honest, I am seriously thinking about moving somewhere else including home. I have a nice house, pool and warm weather back home.

This is only going to worsen the housing crisis. Owners are going to stop renting out their units. It is not worth the risk

Trudeau supporters would have called you a bigot or a Russian asset for posting this video on uncontrolled immigration during a housing, homelessness and healthcare crisis. They started to realize name calling wasn't working anymore since data is much more superior. They blame everyone else now instead of holding accountability. They refuse to believe it was done intentionally by the Liberal government so corporations can keep wages low and landlords can keep rent high. Anyone who thinks brining in a million people during a crisis, needs their head examined. Trudeau posted a pathetic apology video on his horrible decisions. The comments on it are telling and the best part.

Not imploding yet. NO housing crash yet, not even close... Typical governments = Years creating the problems , and years pretending to fix the problems. $....sick. STOP all immigration NOW, for years to come. Too late, all lies, the damage is done. And it did not start under Turdo... For over 100 years home prices went up and down in price properly, 2, 3, 4 % with inflation, job raises....reasonable, slight increases....sometimes minor decreases... all fair and affordable. Starting around the year 2000, prices started to spike up, 25, 50, 100, 200, 300% while interest rates went to almost 0. Same with rent price increases.....crazy prices over the last 10 years....25, 50, over 100% price increases......Over 20 years of kaos. And now look at the mess you greedy government parasites, unions, bankers have created. Mass immigration, major government growth - spending – debt – control..., super low interest rates, mass immigration = crazy housing, rental prices......poor Canada, what a mess created by all you greedy governments, all political parties.....The only way housing prices get back to where they should be is a crash...bring it on.....the sooner the better. Right now, it’s all grossly overvalued. STOP all immigration NOW. Bring on the crash.

The migrants doesnt know that a lot of people that lives in america has no job and rents are rising and foods are rising as well.Even we have a good job ,but still it's too expensive now.Simple life in their country is much better.

25% of real estate is being sold to investors who turn around and rent it out. They over bid on houses because they can charge high rent.\n\nWhy didn't you guys mention this as a reason for housing prices going up and supply going down??

Canada does not need immigrants, it needs real jobs paid and social programs to help families to have kids.\nThe big elites, banks do not want a sound society based on families, they want simple slaves to work for rent and food.\nTill the peons/slaves do not wake up the problem will not go away, it will get worst. \nI am an immigrant in Canada since 2000 and I planning to move again to US if possible. \nNot that US is great, but is not as worse as Canada. More options there.

Canada practises a dubious standard when hiring.new applicants to various professions, highly qualified and with the necessary requirements stipulated by the Federal Government of CANADA to the skilled labour migration category, such individuals land in Canada with their own reserves. Keeps seeking for employment depleting their own funds and are unable to find employment for months , and then not even. called for interviews at all , are totally ignored despite forwarding more than 100 resumes gazing at the computer screen for more than eigj6 hours. Browsing through the net for job opportunities, confined to a small room at high costs, finally if and when they are been called for one or two interviews at most despite forwarding more than 100 resumes, at the interviews they will be offered lower than the minimum wage for parttime workers. What a crime\n Here I am talking about fully qualified and experienced, as well as fluent English Speakers, actually better English skills than both of you here presenting this program. What a scam, first they say that English fluency is essential has introduced different Examination to assess the English fluency standard.. it is a big scam...while Canada has favoured immigrants from certain parts of the globe. As you say here. It is height of cheek of Canadian Authorities to offer lower wages , lower than the minimum wage stipulated by the labour laws, also as you emphasise here, high living standard's, High paying jobs, high Health standards. What nonsense.\nEven the PR Holders are not provided with the Dental and Eye care Insurance, they are provided with only the basic general health care benefits, furthermore after depleting their finds to gain qualifications to be eligible for the federal Government skilled labour program. they are unable to find employment after complying with all the requirements and regulations stipulated by the Government, they arw highly qualified. Highly experienced and highly fluent in English, the Government has not initiated a mechanism to absrb all such migrants.. and has the nerve to expect all such migrants to be hired\nUnder very low wage schemes. Whereas their job designations are entitled to a high wage category stipulated by the labour rules.\nAs you both emphasise here all from poorer nations or Asian or South East Asia are.not paupers nor uneducated, unskilled individuals who migrate to Canada in different fraudulent and corrupted ways while some of you learn and improve your communication skills after landing in Canafa and then learn English and then preach on UTube about the high living standards and quality of life in Canada unlike some of you who tries to emphasise here on UTube that migrants are trying to seek employment without having the basic qualifications nor the basic fluency in English. And you have the nerve to say, you don't belong here.\nMind you, they are there , through legitimate Government programmes which has subjected them into high assessment of their credentials as well as assessment of fluency in English. After complying with all the stipulated Government regulations, still such individuals are not been called for interviews, finally after wasting months and.months depleting their own funds, they are offered salaries way below the standard wage scales stipulated by labour rules for certain job categories. Some still accept such offers as they need to get Canadian job experience in order to be even eligible to apply for certain job categories, all though they have enough and more experience in their home countries to prove their capability \nAlso, the Job interviewers pose very advanced technical questions which they themselves do not understand or have no clue about what they are asking, or they do not use such high technical advanced methods in their specifics job caregories available. All these gimmicks are being utilised to discourage the applicants and to force the genuine Credential Holders who could definitely contribute to boost the Economy in a fruitful manner to leave the country and to force them to get back into their home countrues. In that case why did the Federal Governments of Canada created a delusion to migrants from around the globe stating that there is an acute labour shortage in certain high demanding job categories, encouraging all such applicants to apply through the Skilled labour Program introduced by the Federal Government of Canada,. as if there are shiploads of opportunities available just for geabs.\nSuch individuals are driven to state of utter despair or forced to get back to their home countries whereas here the federal Government of Canada is granting Asylum to all sorts of unskilled , uneducated and sometimes no literacy nor basic communication skills in English at all at the expense of the taxes and high tuition fees acquired from the student population as well as PR Holders who has incurred massive expenditure through the federal Government's detailed and tough assessment procedures just to gain entry under the stipulated visa categories. Whilst all such individuals who has made a genuine effort by using their own reserves and during their stay pay high consumer taxes and high rent are being denied to gain employment but certain uneducated hooligans and certain communities are allowed to enter Canada Scot free as Asylum Seekers through the IRCC refugee and immigration act and Asylum Seeker Act.\nHow unfair and unrealistic...\nWhen you present such videos be aware of your content as not only the Canadians are contributing to the Federal Governments tax schemes. It is virtually every individual who come over to Canada seeking Greener Pastures, be it Temporary Visitors, Tourists, student population from around the globe,.Migrants under different visa caregories introduced by the federal Government of Canada itself , all such people contribute to the federal governments reserves in direct and indirect ways. So, it is very unfair to say that individuals who are from poorer nations are willing to undergo harsh living conditions in basements within Canada. And they grab the job opportunities of the Canadians. Wrong again. , as the Canadians do not accept job offers which does not include the specifics wage packages stipulated by labour laws to their designated job categories ,, the federal Government has found a crude way to fulfil their labour market through these new migrants for lower salary scales as well as utilising the student population to fill the shortages for parttime and temporary job categories where the employer can get away by paying minimum wage and hire and fire as they wish.\nWhat a cruel system...Get the facts straight before you present such videos.....

Simple \nKick them out\nHouse crisis will decrease \nCanadian will hv more chance to rent \nAnd don’t have to worry about housing anymore \nQuality of life will comeback \nAfter living in nightmare always thinking about the landlord will kick us out anytime

yes I live in the lower mianland British Columbia the average prices for a super cheap place for a single person is around 1500 just for rent now if you want to live in a not to bad place that can range from 1800-2800 rent per month then the cost of food and fuel compaired to the uS I seen people complaining Down ther gas 1 gallon which is just about 4 leitres in Canada hight prices down ther 6.00 US per gallon uphere its like on low average right now 1.80 per litre =6.20 convert that to US dollars about 4.80\nyes our tap water I take for granted ikeep forgetting about that , people coming from other countrys talking about our water and I am like huh ?

Canada and / or Canadians need to find a way to build new homes that aren't so costly. The average house price in Canada is approximately 462,428.15 CAD. This is was out of touch with average Canadian income (average.$59,300.) A person making 60,000 CAD will be approved for a mortgage of no more than 168,000 CAD. So, what do they do? They rent. The average cost of rent in Canada is over 2000 CAD. This rental payment is roughly equivalent to paying for a 300,000 CAD mortgage. The system is broken. Period.

Low skill and low wage might have been ok when costs were low - low food prices, low energy prices, low housing and rental costs, etc. Now that everything is incredibly expensive, Canada is stuck between a rock and a hard place. Either wages will go up (which have been fairly stagnant for the last 30-40 years) so that it goes above and beyond inflation, OR you will not be able to bring in low skill, low wage labor. Simply put, when rents are $3000 a month in Toronto, minimum wage of $15/hr is $2500/mth (before taxes). Add another $1000/mth for food, and $500/mth for other expeditures - and you can see that just to survive - a person in Toronto needs a minimum of $4500/mth to not be on the streets. And this is IFF they are not married and have kids which can easily drive expenses to $6000/mth\n\nSo... for someone to just live normally, they need a bare minimum of $30/hr for 2000hr/year - this is a salary of $60K before taxes!\n\nBut the median income in Canada is 35K to 40K (it's on your tax return which determines if you get extra help from the government).\n\nSo... with these prices - you will never get low wage workers here... period. You can't expect immigrants to work as slaves and then pull your country out of the mess you created by spending money on useless programs like a drunken sailor.\n\nCut costs, cut taxes, cut inflation (stop printing money), cut useless programs (ala DOGE in the US), allow housing to crash, diversify your economy, invest in start ups and entrepreneurs, increase salaries, scrap the carbon tax, etc. Notice - none of these have anything to do with immigration.

Canada wants immigrants so they can pay them cheap for meanial jobs that nobody wants to do. Period. All your efforts spent getting a degree in something will be worth nothing here. Period. Even if you consider yourself super smart with an IQ above average and think you can defy the system, think better: yes you can go to school here and get your degree recognized, but is gonna take a lot of time and money, you'll probably have to work two jobs under shitty weather and pay the rent for an apartment not bigger than a shoebox, not to mention the college fees. Is it worth it? After 15 years spent here first as an immigrant and now as a citizen, I still have to understand what makes Canada so appealing to people. But then I came from Europe, where life is easy and relaxed, so I guess my point of view is biased.

Hi girls! You're awesome. So as a conclusion is not a good time to immigrate to Canada right now. The house renting are overestimated. But it's my dream to settle down there in a couple of years.

Its been a boom time for canadian landlords. Home prices have skyrocketed and rental prices the same. Just a reminder that mass immigration isnt hated and bad for everyone. I was able to retire early because of it and ive expanded my rental portfolio so can now permanently live in the usa and visit india regularly just off rent alone. And my net worth continues to rise. So, just an example that this canadian system is working for lots of us

I lost my condo to Somalians that would not pay the rent either. After a family of 4 moved in to my condo one month later they had 12 people living in it.

Now Canada GOVT immediately need two point ...If Canada want more immigrants for future ...1...Introduce Affordable Apartment (2 or 3 Bed RM - to give special High Rise FSI ..So builders or Developers can Supply )...Otherwise today or Tomorrow if Canada need more immigrants (High qualified Labour) and not sufficient Houses ..So ..same situation will face in future ...2 ..For Immigrants Doctors & Pharmacist Graduation coarse for 4 Years ..This should change and introduce for only 1 years coarse ...They have already knowledge of their field (So why waste their Time ,Money)....If Canada interested to dump & wants more Immigrants ...Than ...Government also responsibilities to provide citizens ...Housing & Medical supply ...I wonder why last 10 years this two matter (Home & Medical) supply or facilities not consider this Canada Government ..? ..& ..only dumped new immigrants ..Therefore ..Today immigrant students rent one room and share 5 members in one room , + Price going up scarcity of home ..Due to ...This Canadian Government Peculiar Policy .

Do freelance work as an accountant or graphic designer and make money in dollars or gbp and enjoy the low cost of living and work from home. No need to go abroad and pay exorbitant monthly rent payments.

Pay your rent c..t

Leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, Pierre Poilievre, wants Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to send back 4,900,000 newcomers whose visas expire in the next 13 months. \nMinister of Immigration Marc Miller wants to fast-track asylum refusals \n(to prevent the asylum system abuse). \n \nCanadians are VERY happy with IRCC's changes in 2024 (reductions & multifaceted investigations & deportations etc.). Canadians want: \n \n⦁\tNo more tribal hatreds & violence in CANADA, stemming from tribal hatreds occurring in foreign countries (the hater's ancestral home). \n⦁\tNo more foreign interference in Canadian elections. \n⦁\tNo more dealing with the repercussions caused by ghost consulting in foreign countries, after they targeted their own people (before they came to Canada). \n⦁\tNo more fraudulent acceptance letters created by foreign consultants and given to their own people (before they came to Canada). \n⦁\tNo more PRIVATE 'diploma mills' in British Columbia and Ontario. \n⦁\tNo more mass social media videos posted by foreigners advertising Canadian PR & visas & permits & schools & jobs etc., like they're selling shirts. Never posted in English (with no input from Canadians including Canadian colleges/universities). \n⦁\tNo more IELTS spouses in Canada. Anchor babies. \n⦁\tNo more Canadian housing being scooped up en-mass as investment vehicles by, and for, foreign nationals. With 'slumlords' charging way too much for rent. \n⦁\tNo more foreign protestors on Canadian streets demanding permanent residency, when they don't qualify for PR (which was never guaranteed). \n⦁\tNo more foreigners asking for Canadian asylum THAT THEY DON'T QUALIFY FOR. \n⦁\tNo more visas being used to illegally cross into the USA from Canada. \n⦁\tNo more social hierarchies popping up at Canadian workplaces that divides people into groups based on their ancestry, perceived purity or worthiness, and birth. \n⦁\tNo more tech support scams, phishing, and identity theft scams linked to foreign countries. \n⦁\tNo more major auto theft cartels shipping stolen car parts to lower Asia and northern Africa. And no more foreigners speed racing on Canadian streets causing injury and sometimes death. \n⦁\tNo more Canadian charity services being recklessly advertised on social media by foreign nationals (and not in English or French). \n⦁\tNo more dealing with those who won't blend to a country’s way of living, including rules and conduct norms. Unfortunately now, Canadians are dealing with far too many people from a very low-trust society. \n \nSupport the country you live in … or live in the country you support.

The Landlord and Tenant Act is long overdue for revision . A tenants credit rating must be tied to their decision to not pay rent. Go Doug Ford!!! People work hard their whole lives to purchase a home only to have a bad tenant destroy everything they have worked for. There are some pretty smug tenants in your story.

I think the President has very limited power to affect prices most Americans are concerned about. The Justice Dept can prosecute price fixing, Commerce can go after monopolies but President cannot snap his fingers and lower the price of eggs or your rent. He has no power over interest rates. Unfortunately the President can raise inflation with dumb policies.

Don’t forget, this lady is Jewish and knows a thing or two about economy. Trump can’t push her around like he has done with others, also, he does not understand that the majority of Mexicans back her up and are willing to make sacrifices to not let the USA push Mexico around. These trumps threats could backfire really bad and we will pay for it for sure, just wait, if inflation is bad and you have to pay 40k-50k for a base model car with these tariffs the middle class won’t be able to afford a 100k car anymore and we all will have to rent cars now. And forget about having savings and been able to own a home. This will mark the end of this country…mark my words.

tight your wallets ,HUMONGOUS RECESSION IS COMING IN 2025, REAL ESTATE WILL UP 25% TRUMP RAISED THE REAL ESTATE ,AND ALL THE MARKETS ARE RAISING RENT IN 2025, PEOPLE WILL TAKE MONEY FROM BANKS, SOME BANKS WILL CLOSE UNDER TRUMP ADMINISTRATION

OMG YOU MAGA HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOUR LORD AND MASTER HAVE IN STORE FOR YOU DO YA? HE HAS PUT HIS TARIFFS IN WHICH YOU THE AMERICAN CONSUMER IS GOING TO PAY FOR AND NOT CHINA!! YOUR RENT IS GOING TO GO UP AND UP AND UP!!..TRAITOR TRUMP HAS SAID THAT THOSE EARNING OVER $400,000 A YEAR WILL GET A TAX CUT..THOSE EARNING UNDER THAT HAVE TO PAY MORE TAX..WHEN OH WHEN WILL YOU MAGA EVER LEARN THAT TRUMP CARES NOTHING FOR YOU,AND THAT IS SOMETHING YOU ARE GOING TO FIND OUT!! FROM GREAT BRITAIN

Trump is just yammering again. He threatens almost randomly to get a reaction. It's not like he has a plan to fulfill his campaign promises. \nUnfortunately for other world leaders he is president elect and they need to react to his thougtless spewing even before he takes office. \n\nOnce in office we will see if he actually does anything except rant from his podium. But I would not hold my breath waiting for rent and grocery prices to fall.

Is he serious ? Rent to own? housing prices need to come down we need to give our young Canadians the opportunity to buy a home

It’s called fraud… why wasn’t this looked into better? I heard citizens are renting half of their bed to complete strangers to pay their rent.

Can confirm. I live in a small town in the middle of nowhere to minimize my rent and I grow a garden to offset food prices. Otherwise I would be perpetually broke and miserable!

Next step is deport those who only allow indians for entry level jobs and rent houses

I remember decades ago, when I rented a 3 bedroom 2 bath home for $600. I thought that was so expensive. ?

Same story in Australia \n40+% on fat fat fat welfare payments including new immigrants straight from India \n\nJust to pay rent for the public self servents property portfolio \nThat thay hold beind there Super annulation wall \nAnd Australia has 3 leave of fat cat public self servents jobs,,, MIDDLE CLASS WELFARE,,,\n\nAND ONLY 20% PRIVATE SECTOR WORKERS,,,,SLAVE CLASS. PAY ACCUMULATED TAXATION.\n\nTO PAY THE 80+% HAVEING A FREE RIDE THROUGH LIFE \n,, MOUTH BREATHERS

IT IS ABOUT TIME… ALL THIS ILLEGALS ARE AFTER THE HAND OUT AND FREELOADS… WE TAX PAYERS ARE DYING FOR PAYING HIGH TAXES… RENTS AND FOOD COST.

Immigrants are so massive, that is scary mostly in big cities, we don't have this problem in the countryside. It is so rare to see new comers that had choose to work and live into 40 000 population city like mine. They are very welcome, we lack so much on workforce in every jobs and it is much more easy to find a place to stay. The biggest problem isn't immigration, it is those new jobs opportunities created when we still don't have workers to fill the gap elsewhere who need it most!\nAlso. immigrants to tends to choose living and working in cities as Montreal, Vancouver or Toronto. Canada isn't limited in those cities. Towns, countryside are options, the living cost of rent is lower, house cost less and driving 30minutes to 1 hour on the road to go work is what most does Canadian.

Living in Montreal, so MANY French people come here with their free education, take up jobs, housing (that locals NEED) and contribute nothing back into our economy, then leave once they get their PR to Toronto or try to make their way to America/New York. Legault need to STOP letting them get a free ride in our Country as well. The ones who plan to stay have taken over Le Plateau and pushed smaller locally owned business out and over priced everything including rent. WHITE FRENCH PEOPLE ARE PROBLEMATIC! Same with the UKRAINIANS REFUEES!

They see the fraud this government pulled on them, its like you move in to an appartment the rent is fixed then you receive huge hikes every year finally you vacate the appartment and the landlord asks you why you are leaving. You don't even want to answer because the joker knows he swindled you, similarly these immigrants come here buy a house then see what happens to their taxes and upkeep as it move vertically up causing them to get two jobs to pay the bills.

Because our lives look like street beggars can’t afford to rent a one bedroom apartment or basement or to buy one bedroom condo because high rocketed prices prevailing less than in 10 years.

Interestingly enough, the clip where the girl is complaining about having the rent increased by $7000 is not Trudeau's fault (Liberal government) but Doug Ford's, who's Conservative and the premier (like a governor in the US) of Ontario. He removed the limits on rent increases on properties occupied for the first time after Nov 15 2018. So now, if you want make a few more bucks or just kick someone out just jack the rent so they can't afford it and have to leave (usually you can't just end a lease agreement because you want to but not anymore as you can just increase it to whatever you want). Limits exist for a reason unless you're at the top and want to make more without any regard to people that are struggling.\n\nWhat I'm trying to say is that I don't think the Conservatives will do better than the Liberals, they're just different flavours of garbage. We do need real change, unfortunately I don't think it will happen.

Rent is literally half of your monthly income

Can someone say the same thing now for groceries and rents? Golden days 2018 year and now the prices are literally killing. ?

High cost is not an appropriate reason for leaving Canada because if we have enough salary, we can buy the groceries other than buying and rent housing. However, yiu can buy a car. We have two cars.

lols 3000 in canada is not upper middle class you cannot properly afford rent also

As usual the media frame all immigration as wonderful, and dont talk about the collapsed wages and skyrocketing rents. Thats a problem for the 'little people', not for them.

Welcome to Canada tent ciry food banks where millions get there food line up for hours taxes and rent so high our prices of food doubles and triple US

No one talks about the fact that Doug Ford lifted rent controls. Yes he did! Any new builds or “renovated” dwellings built or renovated after 2018 are NOT SUBJECT TO RENT CONTROLS! People were evicted, apartments renovated and prices soared, even in rural areas. I paid $2250 for a two bedroom home. My landlord raised it to $2860.

what was not mentioned in this short video that should have been is proof that immigration is not causing the housing crisis. That is that the housing crisis now extends to small towns and rural areas. It's almost as expensive to rent in those areas these days. I know this because I have been seeking to move out of Montreal to a smaller town for the past 3 years and cannot find anything in my price range (been looking at rural Quebec and Ontario). \n\nHere's the thing, immigrants come to major urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver and to a lesser degree, Montreal. They do not go to rural areas or small towns at least, not in the first few years they're here. Given that, why does the housing crisis extend to small town and rural areas if migrants are not coming to those places?

I've been replaced 4 times by foreigners. I worked at Amazon and the entire huge warehouse of hundreds of people was only East Indians with only me and 3 other white people. I worked at Ballard and the entire production floor could not speak English at a elementary school level and was replaced by a guy from Iran who had never been to Canada and was in the country for 1 month. All the shift mangers were from Iran and my section was only Iranians, East Indians and Chinese. I was the top production worker by far doing the work of 4 other workers proven by the actual numbers in an attempt to keep my job but still got removed of course to make way for more Iranians because it was obviously a way to bring their people here. Zero locals were in the entire production floor. I can not have the dignity to own my own home and never will be able to even though I grew up here went to collage and university and worked hard. Rent is beyond insane and they raise it the maximum legal amount every year which is huge. All my life I had to bow down to foreigners. The locals have lost their homes and can not buy another house or could never buy one and never will be able to. All are slaves to foreigners who think they are superior and treat them like garbage. The foreigners get help from the government somehow and get loans they never should be able to get because they have crooked contacts in the Chinese owned financial institutions. They then build 5 to 10 unbelievably horrible illegal suites and that is where most of the locals now have to live in. The neighbourhoods went from a very low population of Chinese and East Indians to insanely high levels such as 98 percent. There is no sense in complaining to any government body because the Chinese and East Indians have infiltrated those key positions and always side with their own kind. The legacy news/media is fully aware but are owned by foreigners and never will talk about these issues. Canada has for sure been invaded and taken over and is lost. No one is bringing it to light and worst is no one is trying to fight it. Any attempts you are labeled as a horrible racist.
