Canada let in 430,635 people in July and sep population went up 1.1 percent sense 1957 were hey let in 198,000 people Canada keeps letting so many people in and yet can’t fix the housing shortage. Stop letting so many people in government just wants to tax people to death welcome to Canada were homes are overpriced and y are taxed heavily. Cost of everything is skyrocketing. People do come into Canada but u also have to count how many people are also leaving . After living here for a 1-2 people leave . Houses are overpriced most of the time it’s cold. I suggest come here if you can find a good high paying job . Rents also crazy high . New comers leave after they can’t afford to buy a house . When they say there are plenty of jobs they mean like Uber driver or labour jobs. Know Trudeau even said we let in to ma y people the system can’t take it anymore .. heck even I could have told u that ????

harizzment is crazy

I think that Anglocanadians have a fully different view than us. In Quebec we are doing SO much better. It’s so crazy. Still, Trudeau sucks. How is he not out of office?

Canada has become another beautiful insane asylum similar to Oregon and Washington State due to the VOTERS ELECTING Crazy people! Just stop. Kick Trudeau and his sycophants out and elect people who love Canada instead of hating it and what it once was - a very nice place full of very polite people lol!

Thank you. Why should they leave their own land? That's crazy.

In Italy the cost of living is crazy too but migrants are still all here… strange.

Don't blame immigrants or cherry pick polls from boomers who are willing to answer telephone polls. Anyone can make fast infrographics and show them on screen for 10 seconds; give some sources in the description mate? TL;DR the problem American style Capitalism. \n\nIts the fact that housing is treated as an asset or passive income instead of being a necessity. I had such a trouble getting an apartment because of AirBnB's and other short term rentals. Having people only live in town for 6 weeks of the year before leaving town again for the rest of it. Bonavista has been pretty aggressive with trying to deal with it; but its certainly not enough.\n\nIt gets worse. The lumber mill has was sending as much as it could down south to the US during the pandemic so what build materials one could get was extremely overpriced and low quality making renovations take forever do to the lack of materials.\n\nWhen I was living in Labrador there was a hydro project and speculation caused rent to go from 500 to 2000 CND. The lack of rent control was crazy. I had no chance of ever moving back to my hometown and I'm stuck with part time work where I am.

Vancouver average house price is crazy expensive cad2M, which is the highest around the world. However, the average annual wage is crazy low cad50k, and the income tax is crazy high . How can people survive in Vancouver.

I was born and raised in Toronto. I have no family inheritance to give me a jump start. I make good money (middle upper class) but I’m still struggling financially. Not because I spend like crazy or anything, but because taxes are crazy and everything is so expensive. And now with the high interest rates, my monthly expenses went up $4000+ for no reason. Just based on interest rates. I had a pho lunch for 2 last week and it was freaking $70! Crimes are increasing like crazy and the government keeps having talks of handing out money when we are in so much debt. Seriously the government right now is discouraging talented hard working ppl and encouraging lazy leeches to keep being lazy. Our healthcare is also a joke. Doctors know nothing and are only there to write prescriptions. The amount of people I know that was misdiagnosed for conditions so obvious that any 10 year old can figure out by googling their symptoms is ridiculous. \n\nBeing a Toronto native I really hate seeing the city/country crumble like this. I am starting to question if sticking around is the right choice. But I’m so established and embedded here I don’t know how to uproot everything and move elsewhere. And I wouldn’t even know where to go. The states have their slew of issues too

Crazy because if I’m not mistaken the one time the Mexican people came together like this in their own country, it took them about 2-3 months of fighting and arresting cartel for them to take over their area again. 2-3 months. The problem is these people don’t want to fix their own. They want to run away from their problems and bring their crazy ideologies with them and than vote for people like Biden and than wonder why our countries going the same route as theirs. It’s like these woke Americans, moving yet they keep voting the same way and they keep the same poisonous ideologies. Sad cycle tbh

Canada has been turned into a woke hellhole now. The price of living is insane I dont understand how anyone can afford to live after paying the crazy rents and expensive food and bills. The communist gov is out of control as well. I can not wait to retire and got out of this place. Voters are braindead is all I can come up with... I just dont get it. The biggest lie canadians eat up is that they live in a free country... they have no clue just how controlled they are. Also, I have lost so many friends because of their willingness to fall for the brainwashing. I was attacked a number of times by work friends and friends outside of work because I refused to sit their and keep my mouth shut as they all partook in the relentless bashing of conservatives and white people in general. Im actually openly gay and let me tell you.. gay people are some of the most gullible little minions the left has. The fact that I was not braindead leftist and gay made me even more of a target and it still happens to this day. Im retiring in 4 years and moving to Dallas where I have a brother. He LOVEs it there and says its the least woke place he has ever been in the US so wish me luck

Ireland is the same. Crazy expensive and awful public services. Real bad actually.

The situation is crazy pretty much everywhere when it comes to housing prices, and all the Western countries are suffering more than the others with Canada probably the most inflated.

I left Vancouver 15 years ago. Most people considered it crazy.\nCity was OVERRATED.

This is f****** crazy\nPeople are dying this problem needs some bigger better people that would handle it carefully\nHe's just sitting there listening to his own voice\nHaving a good afternoon telling those people to stay there\nfree Palestine hamas is no one's helper\nit won't improve anything this problem is not simple there many to blame include israel\nIm not even Jewish but this s*** is insane you guys don't care about the truth you hear all this insane stories and you don't doubt them for a moment obviously doubt everything on the other side that it's insane doesn't even resembles truth you don't care about the people you don't want peace\nI pray for the people in gaza \nhave a better government soon one that actually cares for them and a country where they can have a good life not just kill or die

To much dame taxes the homes are crazy over priced most of the time it’s cold . Oct, Nov, Dec, Jan , Feb, March April cold only May Jun and July and August its worm .I would just move to a different country I think k the states have better option at least you can move to a wormer state and get a less expensive house. My friend moved to Florida and was able to buy a house . 3 bedrooms and 2 bath nice weather to. She is a teacher there. I am thinking about moving sense I work from home as a IT data analyst I can even get a better job that gives me more money over there……. Yes there health care is expensive but at least there wait times aren’t so long . You can. Buy a house for 300,000

In all honesty, we need about 5 million of them to leave. It is a major cause of the housing crises and crazy prices.The country, its citizenry and our social programs need a break.

This is crazy...but it's all a set up to kill Americans...democrats is working with other country to destroy America from the inside out...but our men has been training for this...democrats are traitor

Come america honey. I am crazy for asian p.

The problem with the international students is the cost of tuition specially for student from poor countries, Canada is not design to support them in anyway ,the cost of living is so high that is almost impossible to give a proper education, and today cost of living is crazy to mortgaged your life for the Canadian diploma that not guaranteeing you success after paying all the money is a big gamble

Bravo sir ? it's the European countries that should recieve Zionist refugees and give Palestinians their lands back. This world is so crazy and injustice is glorified.

As an immigrant born in Mexico and living in Canada (Québec) for the last 32 years I'm certainly going back to Mexico once I retire. Cost of living is awful and taxes are too high to consider staying in Canada.\nOur current Prime minister Justin Trudeau did help to make this much worse. Trudeau spends our money like crazy...and the worse is that he is telling Canadians that he does not care about it and he will spend much more. Better to leave?

Lol look at this shameless tyrant west asking that question! I am in disbelief, they blame other countries for the atrocities they did, crazy and sickening!

Allowing foreign investment by businesses drives up the cost of housing. Better control of foreign investment would negate the upwards push on price. I agree that Canadian communities are not adjusting their building codes to allow better use of space - we are way to conservative in our approach to keeping people safe in homes - staircase policies for example insist on 2 staircases per building for anything over 2 stories - crazy outdated concept given modern fire prevention materials and processes.

But why they ask them to take them out their land. That's the Palestinians LAND, THIS is crazy. Why they're forced the Palestinians to leave their own land that's occupy. God's justice will come for the Palestinians.

Crazy though if you think about the last 20 years muslims Run away from muslim countires and run to western countries. Muslim nations with money have never taken refuge in for there people , but europe has . And then what happens they want to turn the place into the one they run away from, not all but most

Under Justin Trudeau’s 10+ years’ ruling, most Canadians has nothing but a $1+ millions’ house (with lots of debt). Canadians now have no life but forced to save everything for paying mortgage. People are increasingly social isolated because restaurants are crazy expensive, travel becomes dream because food price is sky-high.

i cannot even rent an appartment. life is crazy

Half a mil immigrants per year for its population size is crazy. U.K has 1.5x population and less than half that (and we have our own immigrant problem as the gov. love to only take the shittiest ones)

Honestly it sucks for Canada.. I mean this country has probably everything any country could wish for. From surface to ressources to access on both side to the two main oceans, having a border with the first world power (it can be a problem but a good thing as well) and while climate isn't always the best, it should he a paradise living there.\nAs a French with what I believe is the best and most generous medical service in the world, to think that Canada spends MORE than us and have it a lot worse is crazy.. How did they manage that? France isn't renown for its efficiency..\n\nOne thing not mentioned though in the video which I find even worse than all of that, is how Canada slowly slipped down in freedom status.. More than any other country!\nCanada lost 6 spots in a single year in the human freedom index and got kicked out of the top 10 to land at the 13th spot.. At this rate they'll be out of top 20 in the 2023 report..\nAnd we all know you can easily lose freedom, but regaining any of it is close to impossible.\nGood luck Canada and Australia, you guys are in the same boat at this point

Canada sounds like California without the great weather. Crazy expensive, bad governance, woke politics and bad crime.

Inflation is also in the Us groceries price are crazy. We have a interesting rare of 8 per cent. Uncle Joe is doing the same thing as Trudeau I guess ruining the country

This Is Crazy ?

The UK here is getting 700,000 pa arriving including 35,000 pa by small boats without visa etc. But the cost of rents/mortgages are crazy and way higher than Canada in equivalent places and there is not the option usually of driving in from a cheap place far out of big cities with big basements and out buildings. Also train and bus fares and household energy costs are all 3 times that on Continental EU.

My friend sold everything and migrate to Canada. But now he's bankrupt and jobless. Thought in Canada can have a better life. But he is wrong. Canadian are so hate Asian people and did a lot of discriminate stuff. Now my friend got mental health issue and divorce. In short, he's became crazy. So before migrate, think carefully. Especially in Western country. There is no democracy and justice in this countries.

It's crazy importing more people when home prices are that high.\nCreating more demands...stupid is as stupid does.

it’s crazy how the government was just like ‘mm you know what would fix this issue of how empty and boring everything is? more ppl! let’s just add more ppl’ and several ppl agreed and mmmed and awwed without even considering first trying to accommodate all these new ppl. everything is money. it’s sickening. i can’t believe we are at the mercy of idiots

There is an echo from 70 ties and 80 ties that Canada is very affordable country where you can earn a lot of money. It's funny that such a vast county rich in commodities and energy has expensive houses, apartments, food for only 30 million inhabitants. Who is crazy to live in a cold place working just to pay rent, food and bills.

You cant ask women any qut in Canada due to feminist ideals in many womans heads its crazy here...

I agree with parents being uneasy with sending their children to school , people out- house bat crazy can buy guns with no problem . Our health care is much better and our education is by far superior. American coffee is disgusting and their beer tastes like its been filtered through a horse . O CANADA I STAND ON GUARD FOR THEE ..........

What you talking about drugs are legal are you crazy stop giving false info lady

It’s super crazy to even have Canadians experience and find a job. More like you need to have local experience or communal experience (I live in the maritimes so that’s an example). Forget applying online anymore especially in Canada

Crazy CoL hikes is applicable to everywhere urban in the western world.

I left years ago. Best move ever! Crazy expensive, WAYYYYY too 'woke' and pretty much a Communist state. What they did to their own people in COVID is criminal.

Manitoba looks like a town from 60s; Vancouver- rehabilitation centre for drug addicted; Saskatchewan- just a farm; Ontario- crazy guy who wants for his Chrysler 2005 y 35000$.

As a black american living in the US who believes in equality & freedom and despises oppression....this is just out of control and needs to be stopped period..i grew up spanish,Dominican,Haitian, Jamaican,Mexican,west african friends in nyc and my wife & son mom is from costa rica so i get it...BUT this has been out of control especially in nyc...its just been overwhelming even nyc...its out of control and crazy.

Australia has good transportation system, especially Victoria & Sydney.\nYour PM is a crazy man. If you are a terrorist Canada will welcome you.

this is the federal gov'ts fault no ? crazy

For housing, something that needs to be and should be discussed is the land base. \nI know some real estate players in BC that laugh when people talk about housing and affordability, they say look at the landbase and who controls it. In BC its a crazy amount to 94% and only 5% available for ownership of the people. No option to apply and buy anymore and only lease. That is why even rural lands in BC 40 to 60 minutes outside of a teir two or three city is still thousands per acre! To the coast to coast to coast average its 88%+ controlled by governments and not the people. Do the math there and you will start to see the connection. \n\nAlso, for health-care, its not free just paid for through taxes by the governments on the people. It is broken in so many ways and most likley too big to fix kr repair now without a full ripdown and build up. \n\nMany orher things but just my initial points.

I am an immigrant and life now in this country is very hard and i believe it is exacerbated by crazy government policies. It's just crazy to allow too many immigrants during a recession ???
