What about the Liberals mass immigration policy to make the rich more richer? The Liberals caused the housing crisis. A 3 1/2 apartment in Toronto is going for $2500 a month these days.


^^^^^ Carney is buddies with a sleazeball named Mark Wiseman who started the Century Initiative. Its goal is to have 100 million people by 2100. That is total madness. This represents the biggest threat to the working class way more then Trump. Their goal is to cause real estate to become more expensive, food more expensive, everything that would benefit the rich and put the average joe poorer. Is this the type of government you want in power? Do you want the GTA to have 33.5 million people? To reach that target they need to have 780,000 people enter Canada annually till the turn of the Century. With the healthcare crisis and housing crisis, does that make sense to you? I suspect you already own a home and do not care.
Laughable that you blame the Federal Govt. for the high costs of rents that started skyrocketing when Doug Ford scrapped the rent controls in 2018:

What is laughable is your failure to understand the most basic laws of economics, the law of supply and demand. Trudeau caused it with his mass immigration policy. He was bringing in over 1.5 million ppl per year. What do you think? Having more ppl looking for an apartment will not make prices go up? Lol The CMHC has said it will take over a decade to restore supply to match demand and that is if mass immigration is shut down. It is like if you got a leak on your boat, you cannot stop sinking by pumping water out, you got to seal the leak. Same principal. The Century Initiative is a corporate lobby group with ties to Blackrock and the McKinsey agency where the Trudeau government awarded millions of dollars in government contracts. There was an audit on this btw. Trudeau is crooked and so is Carbon Tax Carney.

And look at more reliable information sources besides the TorontoStar which is a known far-left wing source. And you quoted The Globe and Mail who are spreading lies about Poilievre to protect the Century Initiative, their partner.

You come up with some real fake news. We have had under 500,000 new migrants coming into Canada as the max:


But prior to 2018, the cost of house rentals in Ontario were much more stable. Then after Ford's scrapping of the rental controls is when the evictions commenced and landlords kept on raising the rents based on minimal "renovations". But we know that many properties in Canada were acquired by foreigners as an investment. When Harper was informed of it during his tenure, he refused to act on it, especially as these properties were vacant. Then you have a crooked politician such as Pee Pee Poilievre who has multiple properties that he rents out as investments. One can understand if it was just one rental property. But his wife also rents out a property as well!!

OIC, so tell us who is your news media source that is "non-biased"? Likes of Toronto Sun, or National Post or Rebel Media?

You forget, all the asylum seekers, students, temporary foreign workers, actual immigrants. All of them because they all compete with for aparments. In 2024, about 1.5 million ppl entered Canada.

In 2024, Canada's population grew by one million in just 9 months. That is total madness and you cannot reach that with just 500,000 annually. But even that is too much, you are adding population the size of London each year and the immigrants like to all settle in the GTA.

You will support the Liberals even with all their corruption. Does not matter to you because according to you the Conservatives are evil and the Liberals are saints. Lol You sure like to distort facts to suit your Liberal propaganda.

Did you forget to read this part?

The speed at which Canada’s population is growing was also reflected in new data released Wednesday by the federal agency: between Jan. 1 2023 and Jan. 1 2024, Canada added 1,271,872 inhabitants, a 3.2 per cent growth rate — the highest since 1957.

Most of Canada’s 3.2 per cent population growth rate stemmed from temporary immigration. Without it, Canada’s population growth would have been 1.2 per cent, Statistics Canada said.
These are just temporary residents such as students and temporary workers. Many of them have not had their visas renewed. Also a number of those temporary workers are desperately needed to work in jobs such as the farms and plantations. A vast number of them are housed there in crowded residences. But the Universities are now complaining as the students were funding these establishments. That is why the Universities are now struggling since these student visas were being revoked!!


Again why are you not addressing the various houses and properties by foreigners that are lying vacant, as well as landlords using them as sources of investments?

The Liberal Government are trying to address this housing issue and yet Pee Pee and The Conservatives voted against this funding. Hypocrites that are now trying to pretend that they care about it. We know that under Harper they refused to act then on the housing issue when they were warned about it!!

The Feds are to blame for this also. They are not innocent. They had uncontrolled immigration since Trudeau got elected. You cannot discount the Century Initiative. But I do agree that all levels of government are responsible but the main culprit is the Federal Government. They are also responsible for the ailing healthcare system. I know it is provincially managed, but piling on hundreds of thousands of asylum seekers who crowd the hospitals because they are getting healthcare for free is a big part of the problem.
Timmies wanted more cheap labour.
Universities need foreign students because the provinces aren't funding them.

Blame businesses and provinces.

As I said in my previous post, these temporary residents are competing with Canadians for apartments. And yes that is what businesses say but the truth they are seeking cheap labor. Many businesses post ads that never get filled. I know many people who apply for jobs to never get a callback. The businesses like the TFW, you do know that the Federal Government subsidizes a portion of those wages to hire temporary foreign workers? I hear Toronto has a high unemployment rate these days. So why keep on bringing temporary foreign workers? Yep about the crowded residences, it is disgusting what the Trudeau Liberals did. They clearly are elitists helping the rich get more richer.
But the Universities are now complaining as the students were funding these establishments. That is why the Universities are now struggling since these student visas were being revoked!!
Of course they are. They just care to make profits. International students is big business for them. But what do they care if the students find work after they finish? With so many international students, it is raising the averages. It is getting much harder to get admitted into a program.

Again why are you not addressing the various houses and properties by foreigners that are lying vacant, as well as landlords using them as sources of investments?
The amount of foreigners represents a small proportion. The biggest issue is there is a big mismatch between supply and demand. It is as simple at that! Trudeau brought in way more people then there are new construction of houses and apartments. Also your buddy Carney is proposing densification, which aligns with their climate change philosophy. People come to Canada for the quality of life to have a house with a backyard, with lots of space. They want to turn it into people living in a small overpriced condo with 100 story buildings everywhere where everyone takes public transit. Landlords would not be able to use real estate as investment if there were not so many people. Over two decades ago owners started to rent out their basements in the GTA and now it is accepted. Now I hear that rooms are being divided to cram more people.

The Liberal government created this mess in the first place. If they really want to help they need to shut down the influx of asylum seekers and uncontrolled immigration. Trudeau brought in hundreds of thousands of refugees when there are so many homeless. The homeless population has tripled since covid. I hear many hotels in Niagara Falls has been taken by the Federal government to house refugees. Funding is not the answer because it means the taxpayers have to pay for that.

You should tell that to universities that are all going broke and shutting down programs.
Tell that to the people who can barely afford an apartment, the people that got to share apartment with multiple people and the ones that may never own a home. You are delusional. A 3 1/2 apartment is going for $2500 these days. Courtesy of the Trudeau Liberals and their mass immigration policy.

House prices and apartment rents have been going up steadily since the 1980's.

Again, Trudeau doesn't "bring in" refugees. Asylum treaties were signed by Diefenbaker in the 1950's and the refugees have been coming in steadily since the 1980's and are a small number of people relative to the population as a whole.

Housing inflation is happening everywhere, except in small towns which are dying and which are in a net population loss situation. Toronto is in a continuous decades-long population boom and much of that is due to immigration, but heavy immigration has been happening since the 1950's.

In the 60's and 70's, builders were building miles of subdivisions every year and that population increase was being housed. This appears not to be happening any more.

So I suspect that the problem is at least as much supply side as demand side.

I agree. The standard of living in Southern Ontario is collapsing. But I don't think PeePee and the CPC is going to solve the problem and certainly not by stopping immigration.

Stop immigration and you have a country with a collapsing birth rate and a rapidly aging population. And frankly, I think PeePee's only real intention is to get into power and cut deals for his buddies. If he had real, genuine ideas to solve the housing problem, he would have announced it months ago, explained it and campaigned on it and 90% of Canadians - me included - would be voting for him.

Kicking out black and brown people is very probably NOT the solution for the housing crisis.

Tell that to DoFo, who cut rent control and is responsible for the lowest housing starts in the country and the lowest in Ontario in decades.
Housing is provincial, not federal.

Oh really?

Certainly you don't mean the U of T who had a net income of $508 million in 2024 and have net assets of about $9.9 billion.

And certainly not Queen's University who posed a net income of $76 million in 2024 and have net assets of about $2.3 billion.

Neither the University of Waterloo who posted a net income of $67 million in 2024 and have net assets of about $1.4 billion.
https://uwaterloo.ca/finance/about-finance/audited-financial-statements

Here's McGill University in depressed Quebec where they only charge just about $3,500 tuition for Quebec residents

Still have an operating net income of $1 million and are sitting on about $2.1 billion in net assets.

OK I found one for ya
Memorial University Nfld.
They lost $18.7 million in 2024 and have a net deficiency of about $53 million. But wait let's go back to 2019 to see what these numbers were. Oh they lost $3.4 million. Oh and they had a deficiency of $72 million. Worse than present day.

Henceforth you shall now be known in my books as Fake News Frankie.

You're looking at old numbers, the cuts are just hitting now with massive program cuts in Ontario universities especially. Ford capped tuition years ago and froze funding, so universities were forced to use international students to cover funding losses. The shit is just hitting the fans now.

Listen for once. It was Doug Ford who lifted the rental restrictions. That is when the greedy landlords decided to evict their tenants in order to do some sort of menial renovations to justify raising their rental prices. Are you saying that Ford does not take any blame in this respect, as the rental prices were becoming an issue since 2018?

At least you agree that these greedy landlords are getting richer and richer with their evictions of their tenants and then skyrocketing the rental prices.
Many of these migrant University students can no longer afford these prices. Neither can those seeking asylum. That is why they are moving in droves to the suburbs or boonies where it is more affordable. We know that Ford's Conservatives did not give a crap about their rash actions that started causing this whole dilemma in the first place!!

Of course they are. They just care to make profits. International students is big business for them. But what do they care if the students find work after they finish? With so many international students, it is raising the averages. It is getting much harder to get admitted into a program.

Many of these vacancies in Universities were not being filled in by the locals, and it was a bonus for the Universities to have some of these very highly qualified students who eventually were given citizenships and went on to benefit the economy as it was difficult to find these talented individuals in several of the vacancies. I know this from the first hand knowledge. We in Canada have always set the bar very high with respect to admitting the migrants to Canada. Most Advanced Nations have admitted that Canada is a Prime Example as compared to the EU nations and The USA!!

The amount of foreigners represents a small proportion. The biggest issue is there is a big mismatch between supply and demand. It is as simple at that! Trudeau brought in way more people then there are new construction of houses and apartments. Also your buddy Carney is proposing densification, which aligns with their climate change philosophy.

Now I hear that rooms are being divided to cram more people.
Listen, that in the past decades, a sizeable number of migrants who were talented, then came to Canada with just a few dollars in their bank accounts. They worked two and three jobs for seven days a week to get their families up and running. Eventually, many of them opened their own businesses and contributed significantly to our economy in the number of jobs that were created. They could then purchase the houses of their dreams. Of course the new house constructions fell significantly under the recession, and thanks to the Harper Government, whose real aim was to push up the property prices. This was then exacerbated by Ford's desire to scrap the rental price restrictions. Of course you will only point the blame at the Federal Liberals.
The Canadians especially the younger generation are awakening as they know how hollow Pee Pee's promises are resonating with them. His one big promise was to increase the TFSA contributions by $5000. These younger generations instead want that extra $5000 of their hard savings to be invested in affordable housing that the Liberals in tandem with the Municipalities and Provincial Governments have already kick started. Yet Pee Pee voted against such measures and has not spelled out why he did so when he is "promising" to build affordable housing!!

Polls suggest Poilievre is losing edge on affordability
Liberal, Tory leaders equally likely to act on housing affordability, survey says


The Liberal government created this mess in the first place. If they really want to help they need to shut down the influx of asylum seekers and uncontrolled immigration. Trudeau brought in hundreds of thousands of refugees when there are so many homeless. The homeless population has tripled since covid. I hear many hotels in Niagara Falls has been taken by the Federal government to house refugees. Funding is not the answer because it means the taxpayers have to pay for that.
We had a previous Harper Government that treated these asylum seekers worse than animals in the manner in which they were locked up in poor facilities. That included the Afghans who worked with the Canadian Forces etc. Say no more!!
