You facts are way off to the point of being misleading. Then average cost of a home in the GTA is $1.2 million and by law you need a 20-25% down payment. Even if you're lucky to get that $800k home you need a 15% down payment of 15% so that's $120k! Incomes here suck you need over $250k to qualify for a mortgage...who earns that? My circle is lawyers, entrepreneurs, engineers and only 2 income professionals can get that. Over the last 10 years Canada has become very anti families and anti heterosexual so most people are single. It's also become super anti social. I've lived and traveled all over and everyone I know is making plans to go back to their home countries, countries of parentage or the US or Mexico. This place is a money sucking trap filled with identity politics, High crime, bad attitudes,bad weather and no social life

home ownership is out of control in Canada because of Chinese moneys in real estate. I understand this is targeting Justin but the real issue is the Chinese investment pushing up prices to unreasonable levels. This is happening in other countries like Greece. New millionaires are picking up real estate in record numbers and thousands of new millionaires are being created in countries like India and China. Many of this could be money laundering like Russians and Chinese do in London and Dubai. What Canada needs to do is make it more expensive for overseas investors to buy homes, crackdown on criminal investments, increase the stock of homes, and reduce construction costs. Trudough does not have the balls to do any of this, as liberals generally lack discipline to be financially prudent.

long story short: canadians (the ones with homes) dont want new houses built, but canadians (without homes) wants new houses built.

I own a mid sized home in northern BC, share a vehicle with my spouse, work 70+ hours per week (when there is work) in the energy sector, have a second job when I’m home, my spouse works part time. Last year we earned $130,000 combined, took one 4 day vacation and were living paycheque to paycheque. We don’t have drug or shopping addictions, our basic bills cost $7000+ per month, and we’re one of the lucky ones.

The underlining issue wealth inequality. The middles class is being attacked and they don’t even know it.\n\nIf there’s no legislation or bill to stop rich from buying middle class asset it is going to get worse. The rich is always going to have money. \n\nAnswer is to nationalise the housing market. That way you can build homes and sell it or rent for a affordable price.\n\nImmigration is a scape goat. The issue is tax the rich and wealthy elite.

Ultimately if you don't like the conditions where you live, we all have 2 feet that we can use to walk away and leave an expensive city (or country). There are far, far cheaper places to live in North America (see nearly any Latin American country and most South American countries). You vote with your feet: literally just leave and move to a cheaper cost of living area. It's baffling how expensive homes in Vancouver are, yet they cost 20% as much if you move to a rural place in Manitoba or Saskatchewan. \n\nYou actually don't have to continue pay high prices; only if you choose to not act and stay in your current expensive city.

Where do people go? Back to the home country that they left in the first place?

Building homes is not the answer. Put a stop to ' bad ' immigration. Serve ' real ' Canadians.

But you can build those 5million homes. England did after the war in the 1940s and 50s. Capitalism just doesn't want to do it!

Geez people - then look for immigrants who can build homes - then they will be able to build their own houses. The housing problem which Canada has is not very hard to solve if they approach it correctly..

The Carbon Tax on gas in Canada TOOOOTALLY makes sense, but ONLY when we have viable alternatives for driving across all driving distances at all times. Which we do not. New transit projects are always faced with pushback and slowdowns from within the government itself even, and our zoning laws make it so we can only have single family detached homes which sprawls everything so far out that driving is the ONLY realistic transit method. \n\nThis carbon tax does nothing, the reason you implement one on gas is to persuade people into taking an alternative transportation method if you can, OR to source funding for transit programs so that people can ACTUALLY HAVE the option of an alternative. But in Canada? You already know that money is only going to go into maintaining and adding lanes to roadways.

You my friend are misleading about why houses are not built. Councils do not care about the value of homes. They care about the living standards. Why should we want to be crammed in ever more denser areas. People do not need to come to Canada they need to stay home and fix their country of origin.

Hey losers, this crisis follows failures by Liberal AND Conservative governments. Blaming Liberals is not a solution. You think the Conservatives will cut immigration or allow home values to go down? Ha! Home values, cheap labour and foreign students are the golden goose liberals and conservatives will never give up

Someone come pick up Dave and take him home to Bermondsey ??

Family of Idiots... look at the shreiking girl... i think she was already being harrassed by father right from home.... thats y she did that to get him beatings or debarred from flight for ever

It is he’s home he has a right

I don't agree that North American cities are all ugly just like not all European cities are all that beautiful. Go to Rome, Naples Athens and you will see how dirty and run down these cities are. And no Vancouver is not nicer than Chicago.\n\n I think the mindset here in Canada especially Ontario is not the best. Everyone is all about going to work and just isolating. In Europe it's much more vibrant. People want to go out and socialize a lot more. Here it's basically work and home. Not much else.\n\n If things were good here economically all these points would take a back seat and most people would tolerate them. But when rent is $2000 plus. Wages are barely going up etc..etc..than everything else starts to grate on you.

Remember this is a great country. More than 3 million Muslims call this beautiful country their home. \n\nThis man DOES NOT represent the large majority of welcoming and great people of this country. \n\nYou sisters handled it well. My total and absolute administration for your courage and presence of mind. Weldone ❤

If there is a big population of a particular group immigrating to a particular country means a few things. The country who is accepting that many people must be very desperate for immigrants or, the immigrants might be desperate to leave their country b/c the standard of living in their home country must be very bad.

Buy some acres of land, dig up the ground, place a 1000 shipping container homeless shelters beneath the land. Build a village of transitional homes upstairs on the land. Build the homes with 3d printing construction technology. Charge below market fair rent so it can help the homeless transition to getting their life together. Land is expensive people naturally would like to profit off it. This way you can still profit off the land and have a real solution to solving homelessness. It will take a 1000 people off the street inside of shelters and clean up the street. Repeat and rinse until no more homeless. There should be underground shelters and transitional homes all over the city. The government has power and resources to do these things. Or the people need to get together start a non profit organization, pool money and do it themselves.

it’s not leaving your comfort zone and indian food aroma but how much price you pay for that instead,also please don’t close your door s back home,

And Sudbury home of pot holed roads over way over priced bus transit.

I am in the top 15% of earners. I couldn't afford to buy my house today. Same house I bought 18 years ago while I was making half of what i make now and I was the only earner in my family. I have money left every year , but I can't buy anything anymore. My kids will NEVER own a home unless something changes .

THEY RUINED THEIR HOME NOW THEY WILL RUIN OURS! WE NEED TO SEND THEM ALL BACK BEFORE ITS TOO LATE PPL WAKE UP!

When interviewing Indians just tell them to go home ? Leave… Bye Bye ✌?

We don't need more immigrants. We need to help the Canadians who have worked and paid their way. Help starts at home.

Canada ?? is technically a multi segregational country with various vote banks for politicians and Brampton is just one example with more upcoming examples in the making. People will continue to bring their home country problems here and real canadian issues will be put on the back burner

I don’t think inviting immigrants with no skills is great idea . Time to be selective and close the border , more homes need to be built for young Canadians that are affordable.

Most of the Canadians think Punjabi and Sikh community are there all of a sudden , The Indian Sikh and Punjabi community started to immigrate to Canada from the late 80’s , And these guys are super rich people in Brampton holding million dollar homes , yeah there is a spike in immigration in the recent times due to mismanagement. I just want to let you guys know India is not about only Gujrati or Punjabi community people, India is a vast country by itself

you should review this video theres alot of biases and extreme right wing views, the problem is the polititions who are in with the colleges. there is a great housing crisis here and the blame goes to the closed minds and manipulative medias that make it seem like its a livable and affordable place. Hello!!! it's one of the most expensive cities in the world! this video is down right racist and full of misinformation & manipulation. We are funding and fueling the country and many of us have homes outside of Toronto with families. What I got from this video is Toronto NEEDS more housing and more and easier to access mental health support

So I’m an immigrant who arrived from Poland as a child. What made me quickly integrate and become Canadian was the absence of ethnic enclaves. I grew up in social housing, which sucked, but it was with a tonne of Portuguese, El Salvadorians, Colombians and a few Somalis in my hood. The thing is, there was no dominant group, and thus we all had to live together, communicate in English, and adopt universal values and lifestyles that all those groups had in common, rather than those of my home country. I feel these new generations won’t have that same experience.

Now, record prices for homes, rents skyrocketing, groceries costing more... sigh

I think customer had a tough day at work or home so throwing all frustation on delivery guy! Customer deserves to be suspended for all future deliveries in all Apps! Dumbest customer ever!

Please bring him to India and we will teach him some manners which was not taught in his home country and in our way!

As a Canadian I don’t want to move to another country. I’m happy here but I have my house, my family, my job… I travel a lot, but home is here. My kids are young and I hope that in 15 years things will change for better. I love this country too much, with all the problems

I wanna go to someone else home but I don't wanna live by their rules?

All those who are crying about the Canadian conditions, common on you guys left your 1 Acre home for the frozen land.\nYou should bear the consequences of your decisions.?

Racist bastard. the delivery guy would have buried the customer right there, the only thing stopping him was that he had responsibility back at home.

Send. Them. Home.

Totally agree, Don't move to Canada if you have a good job and own a home. Canada is way expensive to rent or own home plus you won't be able to save much after paying taxes and insurance.

My mom: we have trudeau at home\nTrudeau at home: .....

They have a formula: buy a franchise(subway), buy a house, sponsee young people by giving them housing and a job and then keep doing it over and over. The family across the street does it. They have moved to Brampton and own 3 (million + dollar)homes in Brampton and the immigration machine is still working in the house across the street.\nThe new immigrants have to pay their sponsee and work it off at the franchise. The people we know are good people but this could easily turn into slavery.

Check out small towns in SK and AB. \n\nMy old home town in SK went from being owned by locals, to almost exclusively owned by East Indians. \nThey now own all the fast food joints, the convenience stores, little shops, everything. \n\nYou should also educate people on the actual meaning of racism…\nIt’s the belief that your skin colour is superior to another, which doesn’t apply to the belief that immigration is too high. \n\nWe can’t afford our homes. \nOur jobs don’t pay shit. \nWe can’t afford more immigrants. \n\nThe racism card is a joke used by idiots that don’t even know what the word means.

Canada is India and China now. And none of them come here and respect Canadians or Canada! Canada fluffing sucks. \nOne of the worst Counties to live in now. My own County and no one speaks bloody English here anymore. And now we have to deal with Palestinians protesting freely but when Canadians do it we get our bank accounts frozen. But Palestinians can protest in our Country and bring Evil upon our cities. Go back to your own home Country if you cannot live peacefully like we do here! Go back to your own Country if you dont want learn to speak English and learn to live in Canada with respect and respect Canadians in their own home Country. Respect the Country who let you come here.

“Does not look very Canadian and does not feel very Canadian”. \nYour reading of the demographic data is with an angle. Did you look at how many Bramptonians literally fund some Ontario colleges through international students. \nDid you look at the per capita incidence of self-employed and entrepreneurial people in Brampton?\nDid you look at per capita incidence of “blue collar” workers in Brampton? Did you look at the property tax rates? \nDid you look at the increasing trend of second generation Bramptonians going to college and university, whose immigrant parents did blue collar jobs? \nDid you look at what percentage of Bramptonians focus on home ownership through multiple jobs? \nDid you look at how Brampton is short changed with per capita hospital beds and avg ER wait times when compared to any other Ontario municipality or provincial average? \nYour video is textbook definition of far right conspiratorial extremism. \nIt is short on facts and big on innuendo. It just shows that “Canadians” love multi-culturalism till the immigrants are good boys and girls and do low paying jobs and live meekly without being externally proud of their culture. \nThis from someone who has lived in Brampton for the last 20 years. \nYou should be ashamed of yourself.

The migrant invasion, get used to it. There are another 1.5 billion lining up to take your home.

20yrs ago families moved to Brampton for cheaper home ownership. Then expectation's of cheaper rent and too many immigrants ruined Brampton

White Brampton millennial resident who grew up in 99.9% white East Coast here- this video does not provide an accurate representation of the entire city. It shows a tiny sliver. Brampton’s crime levels are lower than most other GTA cities. I feel safer here as a single woman than any other city I’ve lived in. There are Indians calling back home to their families in India in the middle often the night and they often go outside so as to avoid disrupting the sleeping members of their household. This makes me feel very safe bc I know there are normal ppl out late at night and it dissuades criminals. For the population size of Brampton, the homeless population is very low. There are folks who do sit in front of that church - tho it’s not at all dangerous like you said. There is a homeless enclave hidden in the woods behind a shopping plaza too. I see almost no homeless ppl. The biggest problem about Brampton and other suburbs of the GTA is that there are many scammers. They scammed their way into buying homes with fake T4s. They scam the CRA by not claiming their rental income so they tax evade. They use all this extra money to buy more homes which they rent out and fraudulently put them under their family members names to avoid designating them as investment properties meaning they don’t have to pay capital gains tax when they sell. T

A trick they use to beat taxes: they put their homes in their children's names, then their children charge them rent that never gets paid. The children are still under the limit for what theyd need to be to file a tax return. Tack on a few rental subsidies and tax breaks...???

When you have a country that has 1.5% rental vacancy rate, and only 150,000 houses are built in a year, and then you bring in 1.4 million new immigrants and foreign students/temporary workers, you end up with 500,000 or more homeless people each year. If they bring in another million people, the homeless population will simply grow by another million people as there is nowhere for people to rent and no new homes available to buy.
