The housing crisis in Canada is partly due to 4 things \n1.Restrictive government policies on apartment construction\n2.A lack of tax incentives for building affordable housing\n3.Rapid increase in immigration without sufficient housing supply, \n4.High rates of unemployment or underemployment

A Lot of THANKS to GLOBAL NEWS!!! The media are scared to speak about it!!! Landlord and Tenant Board has to be renamed to TENANT BOARD!! NOBODY is protecting the LANDLORDS in CANADA! There is NO LAW protecting Landlords.\nThere is NO HOUSING CRISIS in this country! This is a huge LIE!

Temporary does not mean permanent. Canada can not support this mass immigration crisis. Canadians are suffering from the open floodgates. It's about time the doors close

The woman at 5:27 when asked about the housing and job crisis didnt even consider how Canadians are doing. She immediately started talking about how hard it is for international students to get housing and jobs. Wtf????? How do you not see that you are the problem

Mass Immigration is a 50 yr failed experiment that needs to end now. Canadians are taxed $90 billion per yr to subsidized millions of poor unskilled useless foreigners. No money for healthcare, long lines, housing/rent crisis...

The US is having similar issues (I live in California). I have noticed that the housing crisis has become a worldwide problem sadly

Ill be leaving soon \n- low wages , high taxes \n- unfriendly pessimistic rude germans \n- work culture is terrible \n- no existent social culture \n- housing crisis

Forced? If a visa or legal timeframe is up and legal permission to stay isn’t given then you leave, no? If you can’t cover your basic expenses then how can you stay? How does it work in other countries? How many protests allowed w/media coverage? This while rights of legal citizen’s (who happen to be homeless) are bypassed thru legal loophole to move their encampments (only homes they know) while those of the non-legal are seemingly protected. Why? Our social systems are already in crisis.

Moved from Canada last August (2024). This country used to be on par with Switzerland in terms of quality of life, work-life balance, how nice everyone was, you name it. After 2020 I couldn't recognize this country anymore. Moved back to Israel, a country that was overrun with corruption, war and looming financial crisis. Now I'm planning my move to Cyprus. I heard the people are extremely nice, there's practically 0 crime and the Island is amazing overall.

most likely like new Zealand govt want to turn new Zealand into a ugly china India immigrant country and they doing a good job down side its made new Zealand so ugly huge housing crisis and service's are so over loaded and the cost of living crisis is all from unmanaged unplanned immigration numbers so ugly

But then what? We already have a huge housing crisis here!

Why are any other countries allowed to come here\nIt all Idina, Chinese middle east\nLook what canada has done to itself \nNow ppl talk about this crisis \nFirst thing a Canadian say is we are not racist \nAs new ppl here laughs at us call us lapdogs

I. DON'T. CARE. \nWe imported way too many immigrants, beyond insane unreasonable levels. \nWe're in a housing crisis and Canadians cannot afford to live/rent/buy a home. \nWe have no more room. \nGO HOME. YOU'RE NOT WELCOME HERE.

The federal government is to blame for their irresponsible immigration policies which have led to the housing crisis and they need to deport those whose visas have expired which is the law .

Come election time Canadians let's remember to put the pressure on poilevre because this one issue solves so many issues, the economy, healthcare strain, housing crisis. We don't have room at our own table. They've ruined our country. So guys we know what's worth voting for. Mass deportation.

Big BS! The crisis on rent started back in 2013 thanks to Stephen Harper! At that time, rent in Toronto was already in 2000. Ottawa started at 1000. There are houses for sale, the problem is that they are unaffordable! I know that because I just bought a property. The problem is that salary is not following the inflation. It is not 10%! Things double prices so it is 100%. Stop blaming foreigners! Blame the politicians who do not know how to solve the inflation problem! ?

Currently Canada is in Job Crisis and Housing Crisis

The big problem is that Canada increased immigration without having the infrastructure for them. Immigrants tend to move to major populations like Toronto, Vancouver, etc because there are typically more jobs, so these towns had their numbers increase faster than our social net could handle. Add in long-term Governmental reductions in spending on things like housing, healthcare, education with more people to service, and you end up with the housing crisis and inflation that we have.\n\nI understand why immigration was pushed; it was partially because people are collateral on the world stage. The larger your population, the more a country can borrow because you have more people to pay back those loans through taxation. It should work ... As long as you have the infrastructure to support the new citizens.\n\nImmigration needs to be dramatically reduced from current levels for a few years while we work to get up to speed for the populace we have.

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!

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.

It is very sad living in a great country but going through crisis and homelessness ?

punjab,haryana,gujarat states villages in india need to be made aware of many scams using visitor visas.... etc. people are scammed and dumped in Canada border. thinking grass in greener there. but it only leads to modern day slavery. canada's immigration policy crisis has also affecting USA only.

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

Yeah the government is going hard after immigrants right now, which is good because there was a lot of abuse and the rate of immigration was far too high, but also it's not the root of the problem where housing is concerned. \n\nIn this way, immigrants are a scapegoat for the housing crisis. They're being offered up as sacrificial lambs to the slaughter by our politicians in the hopes that it will appease voters. But at the same time our politicians also hoping that we don't notice how little they're doing to actually solve the real fundamental problems.\n\nBut solving those problems will require a complete shift in our approach to the finance sector and the tax code, as well as towards city planning and housing policy in general. These are things we can achieve. But not without significant adjustments to the status quo. And if there's one thing the status quo hates, it's changes to the status quo.\n\nSo here's what I expect from our politicians in years to come: more of the same empty promises and half measures. They'll keep doing that until there's a massive market correction and everyone in Canada loses their shirt. And then they'll continue doing the same empty promises and half measures, while hypocritically blaming the rival party for their own failures.

Fix our homelessness crisis affordability and housing crisis by liking our 6 millions immigrants out of the country and fix our productivity and labor crisis by firing 70% of our government workers (federal, provincial and municipal) they will have no choice but to work somewhere else aka private productivity oriented sector.\n\nEt voila problem fixed

What’s immigration like with nursing? I’ve been debating coming over from UK to Canada for 6 months, a year or 2 in a few years when I have more RN experience and have saved money, but with all the things I’ve been seeing online about the housing crisis, cost of living and immigration problems it’s really putting me off. \n\nAny nurses from Canada here got any views or advice on this? Is it difficult to find employment as a nurse in Canada? I thought there was a big shortage of Nurses in the country.\n\nMy other idea was Australia but they seem to be struggling with a housing crisis too ?. Also a lot further away from the UK than Canada. Pay and work-life balance seem better in Australia and so is the weather. Ahhhhh, who knows

The migrant explosion was all by design as it padded the pockets of those who own property through inflation & Large companies could save a Couple dollars per hour per indian. Bottom line is GREED CAUSED THE CRISIS WE ARE IN TODAY

Everybody is blaming the brown and black immigrants but there are a lot of white immigrants who came to Canada as well who also have placed heavy financial burden the the social system. It seems like the white immigrants are not blamed for this crisis? Even the Ukrainian immigrants who came years ago are now suddenly blaming other immigrants for their financial burden. It's obviously clear, white people versus brown people. The racism is still riding high in Canada.

These Indians should be deported back to India as they are not refugees and their country India is not in civil war or in crisis so they are a economical immigrants and they should stay in their country, otherwise Canada and US should deal with them accordingly.

Someone should let them know that so called better life is not waiting for them in Canada at least. We have plenty of our own political tensions, we're taxed to death, probably have the worst health care system in the world, extremely high cost of living, everything is expensive, the only jobs available are part time, crappy overpriced food, a housing crisis and brutal winters every single year.. Nothing but pissed off, miserable people here. Many Canadians I know have moved to India and love it. Come if you like but I bet you'll wish you hadn't, especially when Trudeau won't let you go back, not with your money anyway.

Finally ; send them home we’re in an economic crisis of our own in jobs ,, housing, healthcare . We need to upgrade our education for our own citizens in canada as well.

Lol she called trump and said I have the pee pee tape Putin gave me a copy. trump then came out and said he solved the boarder crisis. The Mexican president said the crossing is down 70% even lower when trump was in office the first time. The media lie about the boarder crisis

Where are Joe Biden and Kamala Harris? Why don’t they come to see all this? Biden and Kamala wide open the border to invite hundreds of millions of illegal immigrants to invade our country. Using our own tax payers money to fund the illegal immigrants. Why Kamala blames on elected President Trump for the border crisis????? This make me mad?????. These people should gather like that in their own country to put test with their corrupted government not in our southern borders. Biden, Harris, Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer need to be arrested for treason.

Do I hear the reporter say Mexico has helped the Biden administration to fix the migrant crisis at the border? CNN FAKE NEWS will never change

Once the housing crisis, homelessness ended no issues to accept more immigrants\n\nNow Canada facing great housing and jobs crisis has no shelters for its own citizens it will create more problems letting more immigrants in

México is an accomplice in the border crisis as any other third world country

We need people to work. We need people to work during crisis. We need new people to open new business. We need people to work on our roofs. We need people to work in IT sector to for smooth functioning of online world. Alot more . . .

Wait…Mexico has done a LOT to help the Biden admin with the border crisis. Did you honestly just say that???? More brainwashed journalists.

Last night, under the shadow of military dictatorship, Pakistan witnessed a horrific tragedy as 100 innocent protestors were brutally killed for demanding their democratic rights. This is not just a national crisis but a human rights catastrophe that cannot be ignored. We call upon the United Nations to take immediate action to investigate these atrocities, hold those responsible accountable, and ensure the protection of fundamental human rights in Pakistan. The voices of those who perished must not be silenced; justice must prevail.

Trump doesn't understand how and why US foreign policy (incl trade policy) works - which is part of why the GOP neocons and the deep state hates him like the plague (he can stuff up all their schemes with his ignorance)\nTrump is not cognizant of the reality (because it doesn't get talked about or said out loud in the mainstream media) that US is an Imperial power engaged in using complex diplomacy (including *sensitive* relationships cultivated over a long time) and threat of military force to suppress activities all over the planet in order to maintain a status quo where the US Empire gets to sit alone at the zenith of global power and wealth. It's not by real merit, this is a position established and maintained through aggression, and lot's of criminality carried out and built up over centuries of exploitative activities, which is why the deep state and powerful elite classes are so desperate to maintain the empire (and stop history from happening) because if forced to play on a more level playing field it becomes clearer that the sort of capitalism and unchecked neoliberalism the US political establishment is engaged in (and the current outcomes) are completely unsustainable.\nLike if something changed and the US dollar stopped being relied on as the premiere reserve currency of choice then they wouldn't be able to keep printing and spending money on value-losing expenses and they'd realize how badly screwed not just the economy is but the entire culture of thinking would have an existential crisis

Already trying to make a deal with Trump before her economic crisis begins.

Why is it a crisis now! They didn't just start crossing, this been happening for 70 years. The media and ruthless people have made it a crisis. God is watching, watch how you treat people are brace for the consequences.

Mexico has allowed to be exploited by greedy American corporations, to the demise of both countries, I have seen first hand what NAFTA has mede in TIJUANA, all that profit from exploiting Mexican labor, and the massive environmental crisis, because lack of infrastructure to support all the influx of people to work for miserable wages, electricity, water, sewer systems are a joke, no innovation, no support, where had all that profit gone?! \nTo the pockets of corrupt government both in Mexico and USA, despicable greed! \nDo it President Trump! \nBoth countries need to face consequences for bad government, poor people always get trampled, sadly, but we will prevail by GOD’S grace.

As a Canadian I think he's over-looking the drug crisis in B.C. and Ontario has one of the worst and corrupt provincial governments in Canada and Montreal has a pretty high Crime rate like Toronto. Plus Most of these provincial governments only think of the Main cities like Toronto for the Ontario Government and Montreal, Quebec City for Quebec. Plus Ottawa is now prone to Occupations and other major demonstrations due to the lack of Canadian people's care of health and safety.

We don’t need Mexico we just use them cause there cheap. America can build and grow whatever they want. She should shut up and solve her own country’s crisis. There’s a reason her own people want to run to America. But the boot they will get if coming here illegally is their agenda. One day our army will probably have to swing in there for a solid week and end there crisis that they can’t handle themselves. & all these crybaby Americans over Kamala need to stfu and listen to the real adults. America will be America again. “Oh but we’re all immigrants” well I’m not I was born here. That happened years and years ago. You have better luck crying a river to a wall. Let’s go America let’s bring the real America back and make it strong again. F$$$ the haters and crybabies

Migrant crisis? You mean ILLEGAL migrant crisis.

I really get sick and tired of African/Carrabian Immigrants in Canada comparing the Canandian Immigrant situation to the Illegal Immigrants Crisis in the US. Its not the same thing nor does it cause the same destruction of the Negroid Immigrant Community in Canada as it does the BA Community in this US??? ?

As an Alaskan, I have a lot of relationships with my Canadian brethren to my south, both personal and business. While supply chain problems, housing crisis, poor wages, cost of living, and immigration, are all huge issues in Canada, but in my experience, by far, the absolute worst problem I have both witnessed and been a victim of, is the extreme level of crime. Especially organied crime. \n\nIn many rural areas the RCMP is literally run by organized crime, and it caused the justice system to resemble something you'd expect from a third world military dictatorship. I never hear western media discuss it, but the crime in Canada is probably some of the worst on the planet. I saw with my own eyes in New Brunswick for example, is completely controlled by organized crime. This has a very significant impact on the overall functionality of the system. \n\nIf you travel around the world, you will see just how aweful Canada is. I feel really bad for the people there.

But Canada can't sending weapons to Israel and then here starting job crisis in the south Asian, ?
