Our government has decided that owning stocks and real estate is more important than fixing the economy and saving the middle class. you are now either poor or rich. no in-between
Meanwhile back in 2017….. Trudeau was promising fixes in housing. That's only 7 years ago, don't forget the government orchestrated the influx of immigrants in 2022 and rightly knew housing was an issue but didn't care which means it's intentional.
BRING BACK RENT CONTROL!!!
??
Stop mass immigration and close our borders. Trudie flooded Canada with Indians!
With rate cuts it will only jump
India is cheap, especially in Punjab….
Morons. You voted for the Liberals. They're excessive spending has increased inflation and obsession with immigration is causing housing costs to increase. Worse still is that he blames landlords for the prices rather than himself. And YOU believe him!!! His own MPs have been proven to be criminals.
Virtually all of the places with the highest average rent are located in the GTA and Lower Mainland with Vancouver and Toronto leading the way.
Price fixing and greed!
They need to freeze rents now, this is insane
North York has been a district inside the city of Toronto for over 3 decades. And yes, rent prices are ridiculous.
we need for more immigrants! Give them preference in everything also because of DEI! We must do it now for the future of Canada!
Keep voting Liberals.. this is what you get.
The best short term and long term solution is get rid of Trudeau.
Even rural AB has sky rocketed in the past year. You could get a nice fancy 2 bed for 1200 now it went up 400 becasue immigration pushed out to the rural towns.
This is so sad for young Canadians pay $2480 rent every month while Trudeau ex wife Sophie and kids lives in $4 Million cottage paid by Canadians tax payers
This is exactly the same going price where I live in America (Canadian $ x 0.73 = $1,607 USD)
The difference between home ownership versus living in ontario housing or 2-3 bed room across Canada is attainable.
We need free rent ???
Come to Saskatchewan. Our cities are so affordable and we have so many job opportunities.
Rent control and rent freeze are bad for renters long term. It forces some landlords to sell, reducing the supply of rental units and in the long run causes overall rent increase due to decreased supply. Government intervention often leads to poor result, it’s best to let the free market do its job.
they keep bringing in more immigrants into overcrowded cities and wonder why rent is so high
Unless there is a massive decrease in immigration, this issue will never go away 🙂
marc miller and trudeau needs to be deported to india. thank you
