Canada grew by one million people last year. House prices and rent are going to keep going up at insane levels as long as the policy remains extremely high immigration. This is basic supply and demand. Let us hope that people vote for change.
For this to be true all immigrants would have to be wealthy enough to be able to scoop up all supply of homes in Canada. This just can't be the case considering the refugee status of many immigrants.
A complex problem like this has significant other factors including speculation, reduction of public housing, inflation.
We should welcome more people, and continue our Canadian values of supporting those in need through out the world. Learn some compassion for your fellow human beings, or go to Florida, where you can be surrounded by like minded people.
The vast majority of immigrants to Canada (~84% from 2016-2021 according to statcan) were not admitted as refugees
Yeah ok, that jives with this https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/pub/75-006-x/2023001/article/00006-eng.htm, next time save me the time and backup your stats
Lol "save me time" go fuck yourself buddy
