He didn't mention immigration in his suggested solution - we need to drastically draw down the current rate of people who are coming into the country. The answer doesn't just "lay in more homes", it is not just a supply issue... there is absolutely no NO way to build at the rate we are bringing people in. We CANNOT integrate them into this society as fast as we are brining them in. This guy is broken.

Is it possible to manage a country worse than how we've manage Canada's abundance?

I don't see the backing he mentions for such levels of immigration. There ought to be a referendum concerning immigration. Why should the middle class essentially foot the bill for a lower standard of living? Any party that doesn't curtail immigration fails to advocate for Canadian citizens.

I don't recall the "500,000" or similar high number being a part of a campaign election platform or WHY Canada specifically needs that particular number. We should have a referendum on that.

Arbitrary immigration targets are simultaneously increasing demand and suppressing wage growth. There are better ways to control immigration. I would suggest demand based approach with some guard rails in place. For instance, I would require all educational institutions to provide housing for international student (at least 50%). Businesses should be required to provide accommodation to all temporary/seasonal workers on top of the minimum wage. In order to hire foreigners employers should be required to prove that he is paying enough to afford housing in the region (market cost of accommodation is less than 30% of salary). Accommodation for refugees should be secured before bringing them to the country from around the globe. No accommodation = no permits. It would limit demand and prevent wage suppression. Either home owners are loosing some equity, or we are all dealing with inflation (wage-price spiral), or some combination of both (stagflation), there are no other ways around to fix affordability. No private company will ever increase supply in the anticipation of price decrease. Permits are not homes. Developers are already scaling down their projects and firing workers because there is not enough demand at the current price level. So only government could increase supply in this situation.

@trails3597

It takes time to build houses. Businesses respond to demand and business cases. Immigration helps demand. That said immigration is not monolithic and is not the only problem. Student immigration is half of the total and is being reduced by tying it to learning institution's ability to lodge them. With current levels at 30% above historical levels and half the problem dealt with that leaves 15% to solve. Besides w/o immigration our current population's is going down. Therefore its not an insurmountable problem. Some say we need 3m homes by 2030. I say the future is not linear! Blaming housing on immigration is not entirely fair. A significant part of the housing problem is due to the pandemic aftershock of inflation and the fact we had a housing price/demand problem beforehand in major cities for years. Govts are doing what they can by making changes to zoning, removing fees to help business cases and the federal govt is giving money to build/buy supported housing for refugees and those at risk and more.

Crime and the drug/opioid crises are homegrown and not imported via immigration.

I never truely lived in canada till the 90s, after that back and forth to school back and forth from jobs in other nations, i thought canada was still the place where people said thank you, please, excuse me when you are in stores passing by, holding doors, being polite, etc. homes still at the prices they should be, niceness all around! nope! nope nope!, its the dreads of society that have arrived the naiton I once knew is gone, no thnak you, to pleasse, no service, no customer serivce everyone rude mean nasty no manners, homes wow the prices, employment none!, i understand they had no where to go and no one would take them but this is a shell of its former self cnada..

So the government is largely creating public sector direct or indirect jobs in a few large cities? That does not bode well for a healthy (private sector) economy. Plus the concentration of new jobs on in a few cities which will exacerbate regional political division.If an increase in government revenues per capita/GDP per capita was the statistic then the increase to government revenues more recently might be positive. But that is not the statistic here (it is only gov't revenues/GDP).

GDP numbers themselves are hocus pocus. A lot of useless activity is thrown into GDP calculations to come up with good numbers. I doubt there is any clear way of measuring an increase in national prosperity other than asking how well citizens are doing over a period of time. And the citizen, certainly the worker in the private sector, is and has been going downhill for a while now.

Nothing short of a moratorium on ALL IMMIGRATION is needed. We neeed to build homes and rental stock first for the people already in this country. If more and mroe people end up homeless and young first time buyers are unable to ever have an opportunity to buy a home, this is political suicide for any party if this is not addressed. We are creating third world conditions in this country with such poor government planning regarding housing and immigration.

Canada usto be great in the 90s you could work a decent job and still be able to buy a house . Be able to buy groceries. When you would open the door for so one they would say thank you . Know people that are coming to Canada have no interest in being nice . It’s like no thank you no please no service , no customer service everyone is so rude Such rampant immigration just makes Canada look over crowded . Have jobs available for young workers have homes more affordable then yes people will Start to have kids again. I go to Toronto know it’s like all of India moved there. People abusing the study programs just to get into the country no intention to study. We should stop immigration all together until things become more affordable
