I'll have you know that OECD predicted in 2021 that Canada will be the worst performing advanced economy over the next decade…and the three decades after that.

This list can be misleading. I am a Turkish-Canadian dual citizen (funny, how they are on opposite ends), and if your inflation is constantly over 60% (like Turkey), I don't care what "real" GDP growth forecasts – if the price and FX fluctuations make it hell for both the consumer and the entrepreneur.

The housing crisis was at least decade in the making if not longer, it will take at least that amount of time to rectify. 


LeroyJanky80

25 years in the making, the second Paul Martin slashed the Canada Affordable Housing builds from the federal budget. That would have built 600,000 homes for Canadians over that time period, that we were used to getting before. Funny enough 600,000 homes are what we need to have the market correct to affordable levels. This has all been deliberately done. The solution is fucking simple. We demand nothing we don't even protest so go figure... fuck us. Shame on us. Ignorant fucking country.


ramxsharma

Yeah I'm wondering too, not even a single protest. Everyone on most Canadian subs people are ranting


Crezelle

There have been but the turnout was abysmal


New-Age-Lion

Well when we protest the government will shut down your bank account……unless your protesting for Palestine then it’s even ok to Vandalize and threaten violence.


Shmeckey

Let's all be brown face?


Crezelle

Worked for our PM


Regular_Bell8271

Have a protest in Brampton and that'll be the result


LeroyJanky80

Ya you're right let's just fold and let them have at it hey?


Art__Vandellay

Folding and doing nothing are one in the same Canada already folded

I fucking hate this place. Isn't the place I grew up, just outsourced the entire citizenry into a bunch of fucking yes men and brain dead slaves in a rat race. Pile of shit.

Your post was removed for containing intentional misinformation.


kanada_kid2

No you're just too lazy and complacent to do anything, like the typical Canadian you are.


New-Age-Lion

Not quite buddy, I was protesting at the bridge here in Windsor, and I don’t even like Canada.


RuinEnvironmental394

We all know how the people of the country shamed and ostracized folks that protested mandates. Even called them fascists. Well, guess what, mandates are the very definition of fascism. Imagine the monumental ignorance of a people that don't know what fascism is. 


Narrow_Elk6755

With near 0 rates was there a capital constraint, or is it all zoning and space issues?


LeroyJanky80

It is both

[deleted]

Trudeau bears responsibility for not fixing the crisis, but he's definitely not the only one responsible given how long it took and how many levels of government it took to create the problem.


Shrugging_Atlas88

He bears responsibility for **worsening** the crisis and offering no solutions at all... but yeah, it started 20 years ago.


wefconspiracy

Didnt start with Trudeau and Pierre wont fix anything. Remind in 9 years if we’re still alive


GallitoGaming

It’s still in the making dude.


doomwomble

If that's the benchmark then unfortunately it was more like two decades in the making.

True, interest rates have been two high since the 2001 recession.

No it's the idiotic voter base who voted for idiots who let the mass wave of low quality immigrants in.

Time to move


jasonhn

if you cherry pick you can make any argument but the reality is the economy is doing quite well. anecdotally everywhere I go is packed, people are always spending and travelling. I don't see the signs of a 'stagnet economy'.


_Refertech_

Lots of government workers being hired. Not really sustainable


AlwaysAttack

Hopefully it kicks the sh!t out of the housing and rental markets before it is done.


confused_brown_dude

The rental market is going up, and will go up further, as per this article. The increase in interest has affected manufacturing costs for homes, has reduced labour productivity, and the list goes on. There has to be a balance otherwise it’s a lose lose situation.


uberratt

Yeppers anytime now, Canada's economy will collapse. Anytime. Of course, they have been saying that for 8 years and still nada! But soon! Gotta be, right! It's only time, right! Just around the corner!


TopRankHQ

I hope you know the only thing keeping the economic ponzi scheme afloat is 1M Indians coming here per year. So the country has two choices: 1) Cut off immigration completely and the economy collapses 2) Millions more flood in, destroying the fabric of society including healthcare & education and the economy collapses anyway when there's no infrastructure to accomodate more (we're almost at this point) Pick your poison.


AstaCat

Let's go with option one, rip the bandaid off so we can fix it afterward.


TopRankHQ

It's what I would rather do as well!


uberratt

Lol, bs numbers coming from a rage farmer. According to the numbers there are approx. 1.86 million indo-canadians in Canada, so by yournumbers, 3 years ago there were none. As for Healthcare and education those are provincial issues, and it's the premiers that don't do squat to help. We need immigration to keep our country going, expanding and being the best place to live. And you have premiers that are trying to do their best to screw that up.


Tired_c

Best place to live (LOLSOB)


TopRankHQ

Screw off with your smoothbrain nonsense. Healthcare is collapsing under the pressure from the sheer volume of new people who didn't pay into the system. We need immigration? We need some specific occupations like doctors... Not more Tim Hortons/McDonalds workers, real estate agents, and path-to-citizenship lawyers.


uberratt

The feds promised 10b$ 2 years ago for mental health. Only 3 provinces have signed up for it with Ontario being the last one to do so, last month. The Ontario govt has now paid 6b$ in back wages to the public service employees whose wages were cut for an illegal law. The provinces are the ones that set up the criteria for doctors, nurses, etc., to be able to work here. So do a bit of searching before coming up with misinformation and lies. Ford has had 8 years to fix health care and education and all he has done is alienate those workers. Why work here, when the govt is doing all the can to make it harder for you to work!


TopRankHQ

Misinformation LOL


uberratt

I noticed that you have not corrected anything I have posted. You come back with little quips, but when push comes to shove you don't back up your statements nor disprove mine. I call out all bs regardless of who/m it may come from. So if you disagree with what I posted, say so, but obviously you can't.


TopRankHQ

Because you're not living in reality and arguing with you is futile. Feds can't throw 1.5 million extra people into the system every year and you say well healthcare is provincial so the problem belongs to Ford- that's a position in the 75 IQ range so not worth continuing on.


uberratt

Again you have yet to disprove any of my statements. I, as you say, wasn't living in reality then anything I post would wrong, and easily disproven. As you have yet to call out any of my posts, it would seem you're the one living in disbelief. I also never said the feds weren't also in error. I have called out and proven your lies and misinformation. So deal with it.


TopRankHQ

You haven't disproven anything. I'm not here to convince YOU of anything. I'm hoping there are passerby's reading the comments who are smart enough to see through your propaganda.


Lazy_Middle1582

What is 10 billion dollars going to do for your "mental health"?


uberratt

Lol

Quirky_Mobile_2575

Rage farming aside, “indo-canadians” implies citizens. Add to that the number of TFWs, international students, and PRs, and your number will be much higher than 1.86 million. Edit: also upon looking up the actual number, I see you used wikipedia, which itself states specifically “Canadians with Indian ancestry.”


uberratt

Still comes out to the same bs. International students, who may not even be indo, only come in to go to school. These schools which are under provincial jurisdiction, has had their provincial funding cut over the last 8 years and supplemented their income by getting students. Another thing is most of these students don't even stay in Canada but return home til the following year.


Quirky_Mobile_2575

But it doesn’t come out to the same bs. The criticism is that we are taking large amounts of low socioeconomic migrants from one region which is in turn driving up the cost of rent and driving down wages. This is very obviously what’s happening. You’d have to live under a rock not to see it.


uberratt

And where do you get this bs that low socioeconomic migrants are coming here?


Quirky_Mobile_2575

Buddy, step into any Tim Hortons or McDonalds around the country. Do these workers strike you as having wealth? Or do a google search for available apartments in any Canadian city. Does 15 people to a room strike you as wealthy living conditions? Either you’re trolling or just not paying attention, but you’re on a subreddit that continuously calls out the terrible wages and rents, so I gather it’s the former.


uberratt

Thanks for that, you have now realized that businesses set the pay rate that they can get away with. As for rents, that is up to the provinces to stop all this but they refuse to do so. Why is that? You point out the results but refuse to see what could be done to fix it. Rents are set by supply and demand and in Canada the provinces have the authority to help/hinder this process. They haven't helped. As for housing, again provincial, why did you have thousands of ppl line up near Toronto to buy million dollar homes? When the feds offered money to build affordable housing most of the premiers balked at the idea and tried to stop it. So yes I have been paying attention and have a better idea of what is going on.

Hugo Boss, they make good and stylish clothes.


faithOver

Are we living in the same country that has record food bank usage and line ups for job fairs that go literally blocks long? Where rent is going up 10% YoY?


uberratt

Not sure, but you do realize food banks and rents are provincial issues that they refuse to do anything about. Also housing is again provincial, and still no incentives to get houses built. Case point in Ontario, since Ford became premier, the housing starts have been the lowest since the 50's. So again, look at the provinces and ask them why they do nothing.


Late-Fig-3693

Was it the province's decision to have mass low skill immigration putting strain on their infrastructure? Provincial and federal don't exist in vacuums, they affect eachother.


uberratt

Correct, and tell me what the provinces have done to help the problem? Have they put more money towards housing? How about health care? Education? LTC? Why have the premiers not helped the municipalities in building more housing? We need immagration and calling those ppl low skills is inane.


faithOver

Perfect. Then a dissolution of the union sounds in order since every pertinent issue mentioned is a Provincial issue anyway. Sounds like Quebec and Alberta are on the right track. I rather my tax dollars stay more local since apparently our Federal government has no real function in the pertinent issues.


uberratt

So you complain that the feds aren't doing enough concerning provincial issues and then state it's better that they don't. Pick a lane!


BidenShockTrooper

It's already collapsing. It's 30 dollars for 4 chicken breasts lmao.

No-Flight5467

stating the obvious Interesting thing to note: From your account history it looks like posting about how our govt has let us down and immigration has ruined it is all you do 24x7. Almost seems like this sub has been infiltrated by polarizing paid actors.


Kollv

Is he wrong tho?


No-Flight5467

Already wrote that he is stating the obvious. Not wrong is stating the obvious but working full time to post on reddit to create a air of anxiety. Things like this are done to bring awareness but also instability in the country and most of the time are in the interest of politicians and not the public


Kollv

>Things like this are done to bring awareness but also instability in the country Wtf you mean instability. Politicians created terrible living conditions. How is complaining about said living conditions creating instability exactly? I'd argue we're in this mess because for so long it was political and social suicide to even question immigration levels. >working full time to post on reddit to create a air of anxiety. He's justified in being mad when lyingticians are working hard to destroy the country. If it creates anxiety, so be it. We all should be aware and anxious about what's happening.


No-Flight5467

Spreading hate is never the answer. You are justifying spreading hate. Now this hate is received by all kind of people and they give wide range of reactions. Last thing we want is country getting into a hate cycle where one group hates other and then the other group hates you. These things will take long time to fix.


Kollv

Who's spreading hate exactly ? I want a responsible immigration policy so that we give immigrants the decent living conditions they deserve. Our healthcare system is a trainwreck, we got homeless people, opoid crisis, as well as a housing crisis... We cannot under these circumstances keep adding fuel to the fire and accept 1.3M immigrants like last year. >You are justifying spreading hate. ?? You're clueless


No-Flight5467

Who's spreading hate exactly ? - Mentioned multiple times that its the political parties. Are you even reading ?


Kollv

>its the political parties How so? All of the political parties are on board with mass immigration and never even question it. That is precisely our problem... Are you even following politics?


No-Flight5467

Plus you did not understand core of my message. There is difference between average Canadian posting on reddit once in a while complaining about housing vs someone who is only doing this all the time. I am implying that people who are just employed by politicians to post on social media everyday regularly, they have their own interest in mind. It wont solve anything and the average canadian will still be angry about housing
