@author_matthewflagler: I’m pretty sure most agree that we have a housing crisis in Canada. What we apparently disagree on is, who caused that crisis. Spoiler alert: It’s not immigrants. In this video, I discuss what caused housing prices to increase almost 60% between 2005-2015. Hint: it’s the Conservative governments and their leaders who removed barriers for foreign investment in Canada as well as rent controls in some areas. #canada🇨🇦 #canada_life🇨🇦 #canadatiktok #commonwealthtok #fact #truth #staystrong #reality
Conservatives don't understand basic math so they don't get stats. easier to understand lies when they have 2 functional neurons.

I'm starting to think that Harper knew this would happen and it would create wealth disparity and anger in society. This anger leads to an uprise in populism and right wing agendas. Harper is just that evil

immigration and international student inflation has definitely exacerbated the problem, even though it hasnt caused it. new comers are able to rent/buy in large groups over single family/newly wed
Harper & Flaherty also tightened mortgage amortization from 40 years to 35 and eventually to max 25 years, again making it difficult for some people to get reasonable mortgage payments

Of course it was Harper and the Conservatives who caused our housing crisis. The Cons always make life easier for the ultra-rich and harder for everyone else!

And a big guess as to who was the housing minister in Harper's government? He's also a landlord and has made millions over the past 20 years.

Finally!!! Thank you. I have been screaming this for years. It has nothing to do with immigrants they cant even afford to meet their basic needs making minimum wages. It has to do with investors and specifically those who look at markets real estate speculators!!!

also immigration targets were nowhere near met— we need immigrants to come and add to our economy.

You are exactly right! The realtors are responsible for this as well because they get higher commission!

I’m thinking of a solution myself along with a group of fellow Indigenous entrepreneurs about opening up our reserves to the outside markets by building affordable rental units right here on the rez!

I used to live in a new apartment building and majority of the units were empty. It’s definitely corporate greed.

yup. are there still lots of empty houses in the Vancouver area that foreign investors own and pay people to make it look like they're lived in? I remember reading an article about this years ago
