People complain about doctors leaving to the States for more money. But reality is, there is no job opening for new specialists finishing up fellowship. So they are pushed around diff hospital as part timer and they end up leaving. Family doctors are also pushed to become a hospitalists or to just become surgery assistant to avoid paperworks and fees that follow being family doctors. Our healthcare is becoming useless because our government is not grasping the reality.\n\nWe need more highways, a real metro system for to support its growing population with integrated infrastructure. If we need to construct more housing, make it possible for architects to build faster and make it easier to become an architect here too. What is wrong with our roads? Gardiner is being fixed and I hope not for 10years. \n\nThis government legalized drugs for taxation, but cannot control harder drugs invading our cities. Our parks are filled with needles...\n\nNow I am in the process of dual citizenship to move out while I retire. Because I dont want to be sick and wait for 10-20hours in the ER.

Idk if it works, but I have heard this trick the landlords use to evict squatters where you hire a furnishing company and make them remodel the house as disruptively as they could e.g. tearing down walls, tearing out floor tiles, etc. whilst the tennant is in there and if they complain, then say that you're trying to improve their living conditions. I don’t know the real-life logistics of this, I just heard it talked about.

why has it taken so long to realise this. whos are the real culprits

Most people in Canada do like immigrants and try and want to accept newcomers . I am happy to see new faces younger people, people with a different outlook. However this lack of housing is a major problem for poor and lower middle class people - citizens and noncitizens. Unfortunately rents are a racket in most cities, the real estate business is full of unnumbered accounts and money laundering; Canada is full of organized crime from all over the world, we cant control foreign attempts at killing our citizen. So we can tell our government is not efficient and is doing a poor jobHowever I dont think the average immigrant is the problem and I feel they are treated like rubes by our government and taken advantage of and so are Canadians of different ethnic backgrounds who also suffer the same problems of many immigrants. That's the truth. Letting people in with out providing opportunities for jobs, housing, support is foolish and destructive to our country. Our politicians are selling us down the drain-i.e. all those who are not in the upper middle class or the elites. POWER TO THE PEOPLE!!!! VOTE FOR CHANGE !

i just asked a.i why construction costs are through the roof and one of three reasons is increased fuel costs ... and shortage of construction workers ... the real problem is the supply and demand ... if you don't agree people should think about what happens when not enough people are buying something at the retail stores - the thing will go on sale. Don't forget the WEF is in Switzerland where they have anonymous Swiss bank accounts and ten billionaires for every politician who attends ... no chance for global real estate investment corporations to bribe our politicians to make life almost unbearable for too many Canadians by bringing in too many people so the price of real estate goes unchecked eh ? It's a vicious cycle now ... construction costs are too high now due to too much immigration ... immigration must be slowed down !!!

The lies and running this video back will not get trump elected? You can’t run game on real people try again????

The NATO country leaders won't tell you the REAL REASON. The POLITICIANS are being told by the MILITARY that MORE people are needed for World War 3. If you don't want to believe that, keep watching.

If your in Canada, Just invest in a REIT if you want to have money invested in real estate beyond where you live

Saying that “to many people are chasing apartments” is not the cause of real estate prices increasing and that the decay of social services and lack of infrastructure is just nonsense Canada has increased the public service sector by 150k job since 2000s it’s the fastest growing sector of job since 2020

Won't someone think of the foreign real estate investors? They aren't seeing great returns while driving your people into homelessness :(

Hey Doug Ford, what are you doing to fix this mess?! Stop wasting time on reinstating LCBO bags and address this real nightmare for law abiding, taxpayer landlords!

The story was quite different from the story decades ago. Canada used to only accept immigrants who had a lot of money. The real estate price was driven up that way.

Having baby’s that will contribute to Canada is a long slow process. Immigration is and should be a way to fine tune the amount of people contributing in real time to better stabilize the economy. Too many immigration loopholes ,scams and boarder jumping with liberal ideology turning a blind eye and incompetent governmental oversight is making life for Canadians worse.

why is it that career landlords feel like they should be charity for the liability of their investments. This is the downside to buying up all the real estate in the GTA. If he doesnt want this kind of trouble then he should invest in the stock market or buy a retail business etc.

THIS IS SOOO REAL AND CRAZY AT THE SAME TIME! N THEY HAVE NO SHAME TO PUT THEIR FACE ON CAMERA LIKE ITS THEIR RIGHT TO SQUAT AT PPL'S HOUSES.

stop buying property just to rent it out maybe get a real job instead of taking over properties that you dont intend to live in making the housing crisis even worse. same goes for the people who loaned out to make a bunch of apartments airbnb. you aren't providing anything, your taking something thats available off the market and then repackaging it like its helpful. its really a big part of why housing is so expensive no one wants to work they just want to be landlords.

I personally don't believe foreign citizens should own real estate when we have a housing problem. Renting shouldn't be a life long dream but ownership of a home is.

and we are supposed to grin and bear it. Get real this is why we want our country back. Try building a Christian Church in their country and see what happens.

Guess people should look at other retirement options then exploiting our real estate system

Exactly the same as the UK, opened floodgates of immigration with no real thought behind it

Follow the money. Rapid population growth makes rich people even richer, and they don't want anything to change. Asset owners, real estate investors, universities, construction companies, retailers etc etc all benefit. Working poor and the migrants themselves pay the price

99% of tenants pay their rent on time. This kind of coverage where they blow these rare cases out of proportion is meant to manufacture sympathy for landlords profiting off the housing crisis. The media is clearly owned by the real estate lobby, and they're exploiting landlords who are minorities to push their propaganda.

Hired goons. Doesn’t he know someone who knows someone who’s nefarious? There are some real bad a$ses in that community.

Big question, who is real canadian? Without any immigration history, they should come front , start to question about these immigration mis management?

Residential real estate is not worth it.

The real question is if the roles were reversed would they allow us flee to their countries. I highly doubt it especially for me being a black Man

Ok now I get the housing issue etc, but the real estate agent who\nHad a Rolex watch living in some shed cmon now ?

People are fighting each other without realizing that the real problem has always been the growing capital accumulation since the 1960s, which has led first-world countries to face this issue nowadays. Most politicians don't want people to stand up against the wealthy, better to have an easy target than to face the actual problem.\n Eat the rich!

Thry are not a real student which thry came to steal golds and money kf bigger company... Never hire scammers of indians....

Lets be real people its india..

The real issue is the colleges in canada luring international students with false promises. Colleges are making record profits and delegating the costs to the local communities.

They do this so we fight with each other- Keep your eyes on the politicians, they are the real problem.

It’s partly a housing bubble scheme. The politicians and lobbyists all own real estate.

Actually Canada has never had an over population problem until now. The real question is why is Canada encouraging over population. A million immigrants a year is unsustainable. Everyone knows it.

Thank you do much for the information God bless you real good.

Similar issues here in the US, only ours are pouring in over the southern border with Mexico. Hardly any speak English nor have any real interest to, as well as no interest in assimilation. They live in their own little communities surround by their own kind, 90% being illegal as hell. We have immigrant problems of the less legal type here. They just come on over. Parasites upon our welfare system, the left takes advantage of them as future D voters & to bulk up their delegates which are based on population. Look at the sanctuary cities. Overrun with crime. But when we ship them to marthas vineyard or nyc or dc, where these wealthy leftists reaide, then oh no suddenly theres a problem ? they dont want them in their own cities their own back yards. F'ing hypocrites. It really does give evidence to the great replacement theory. Look it up if you don't already know. Theres a very real reason for all this happening the way it is.

Corporations and businesses want an increasing supply of cheap labour. The real estate/development industry wants a growing market. The International School industry lobbies for increased numbers. Canadian governments have failed the citizens of Canada who sacrificed, paid taxes and literally built this country. Replacement Theory is a reality for many Canadians these days.

The reals Canadians are the first Nations.

Diana McNally is the only reasonable person who appeared in this video. Someone who knows the real truth. That’s the true Canadian. I’m saying that as an immigrant in Canada.

Has anyone pointed a finger at the landlords? Just because you can charge a fortune for your s#*t apartment doesn’t mean you should. How about the real estate agents getting rich off this madness.\nI blame Greed, Not immigrants.

India owns the UK. Soon they'll own Canada. Stop selling our real estate to India and China!!@

Many of you don’t even know who is an immigrant and who is actually here temporarily. Since COVID, it has become exceptionally difficult for students and workers to immigrate. The government has already been “cracking down” on immigration for the last four years.\n\nYou can spot the real racists in the comments using phrases like “culturally similar”, “integration” and “demographics.”

Lol...who are real Canadian? ?

My understanding is that people are being played upon again, in-fact the real threat is de-dollorization, about which nobody talks much. As noticed recently through the news, manufacturing is returning back to West from China which obviously will demand skilled labour. Dollar loosing it's value (due to de-dollarization) and once immigrants starts leaving Canada, this will add on to the trouble exponentially, leaving Canada unattractive....When I say, skilled labour, then I mean the real working guys, not the cozy European immigrants. These are my understandings...Lets see how it goes, I am eager to see.

Most Canadians are tolerant to immigration. However, we are fed up with the large number of immigrants the Federal government keeps bringing in. We have a massive housing shortage and they still increase immigration despite the shortage. The Federal Liberals believe housing speculators are the problem, so they put in a vacant home tax to prevent it, but how do you enforce this?\nThe real solution is to roll back immigration to 250,000 new Canadians a year until the housing shortage is somewhat taken care of.

I think the real reason are:\n\n1. Refugees from Ukraine, Afghanistan, Syria and Asylum seekers from Africa.\n2. Foreign investment in housing was allowed until 2022 which played a major part in prices going up.\n3. 1+ Million International students allowed in 3 years.\n4. Average Canadian doesn't want to work a minimum wage job, especially now working with foreign people.\n\nBlaming one government, country or race wont help. That is just jealousy towards most common looking immigrant, which are South Asians.

The immigrants who come here on student visa and do 3 jobs to survive are not a problem. Problem are those who pay big $ to come in. They are the ones who launder their money through Canadian real estate and make Canadian living costs rise. They use Canadian real estate market for speculation and live off flipping houses and condos. They did the same in countries they came from after they earned their money through smuggling illegal staff. Book Crazy Rich Asians explains it well.

Zero mention of the century initiative… zero mention of intentional wage suppression… zero mention of the lack of real competition and disinvestment of real productivity… zero mention of the over reliance of the real estate in our gdp… I can go on.\n\nThis video is so terribly shallow in its analysis and explanation of the situation in Canada, It’s frustrating.

Like others have said here, most Canadians are not anti-immigration. Most Canadians grew up proud that we live in such a cosmopolitan country. What people are against is the immigration policies of the current Trudeau government which has led to a degradation in public services and contributed to massively inflated real estate values due to the simple rule of supply and demand. There has been a noticeable and real decline in the quality of life for the average Canadian over the past decade. It is genuinely confounding how anyone can continue to support this government. We are seeing our country go down the drain before our eyes.

Housing is the major issue, Canada is big but the real estate companies make the supply very limited to only supply a fraction of the demand.
