>nothing you describe is new or unique to Canada
Canada had the highest immigration in the developed world in absolute numbers, which is positively insane. Canada has the most overleveraged housing in the world. Canada has the lowest availability rate of housing. Canada's productivity has been constantly falling off of its peers. Canada's wage gap with the US for skilled workers is large and growing. Canada has more international students than the US, a country with 12x more student spaces. Canada has a massive foreign worker program. All of these have exploded over the past few years, and are very much new and hitting the breaking point.
These are all entirely unique. But the [hand wave] "yeah everywhere is bad yo" bit is a common retort.
