They could at the very least not import 1M a people a year (many of whom come here to study at diploma mills that result in no real career skills and considerable debt) at a 38M population, and limit corporations and non-citizens from buying property.
It's on the provinces to get rid of zoning and speed up development of new housing starts, but the Feds are pouring gasoline onto a house on fire with no regard for the rest of us. We wouldn't have such a significantly declining birthrate if people could afford to have children of their own in Canada.
- voisin 3y agoIs it 1m per year or 1m since COVID began? I dug up stats a few weeks ago and the best I could find was 400k or so in 2022.
- rpeden 3y agoIt's about a million if you include non-permanent residents: https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230322/dq230322f-eng.htm https://www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quotidien/230322/dq230... I think it's relevant to include them here because even if they're not staying permanently, they still need places to live.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoAFAICT, that's double counting. IOW, a significant portion of non-permanent residents eventually become permanent residents, and get counted when they become permanent residents.
