housing prices are affected by both demand and supply side pressures.
Yes, but building housing supply takes time. You could bring a million new immigrants in over five years, or in a single year.

The impact will not be the same, even though the total number of immigrants is the same.

Oh well if Bill Maher said something then by all means action should be taken...did anyone catch where his next comedy show is playing, love how he always finishes his show by announcing where he will be appearing.

You think a lot of people in Canada are stressing out about this?
I'm not sure what bubble you are in, but just mention Trudeau with housing and immigration and see the reponse in most people.

They are indeed stressed about it.

About price of houses and access to doctors?
If people need a doctor they could probably see one the same or next day, either their family doctor or the emergency department at a hospital.

People buy houses knowing it will only rise in value over the years…same for years as wages go up with it.

Bill Maher has no impact on anything important, I don’t care what he says.
Well, someone who has impact on something important put Canadian real estate out of reach of the young generation.
I think it’s pretty fucked up

Actually my 26 year old Uber driver last night. And my family members, and friends. And an overheard(loud) conversation while watching UFC at the bar. That's just this weekend.

The Canadian economy desperately needs immigration. Last year immigrants brought in $ 22 billion and took around ~ 300, 000 jobs that “Canadians, either cannot or will not do. Industry in Canada desperately needs immigration .
Maher talks about pushing the middle to the right.…………………Poilievre is if he becomes PM is going to face crushing demands for increased social services by those that elected him which is huge irony andrecipe for disaster if he doesn’t deliver. More immigration is a necessity for Canada as a very large percentage of the population is set to retire with insufficient numbers to replace them unless immigration is ramped up even more than it is now. The productivity in the Canada workplace is also decreasing..
Canada by bringing in huge numbers from India has found a patch to the job vacancies in the economy, unlike the US, the UK and other European countries which have major holes in the workplaces due to lack of skilled and unskilled workers.

I'll tell you what I am not. I am not an old married guy, with a dog, whose wife wont fuck him, that he spends all day on TERB, blaming immigrants for it. 🐸
Immigrants have been getting all the good fruit picking jobs except for ice wine grapes. The wife has an immigrant pool boy?

You would rather I drive?

And yes, I'm in a good position. Others aren't. Because of policy.

it is overtly simplistic to say - high immigration, high demand, high prices and therefore the solution is to reduce immigration drastically.
Occam's Razor. Everyone gets priced out, immigrant and Canadian born alike.

There would be no need to reduce immigration levels if they hadn't increased so much in the first place.
