  Yes but that’s a side effect of this en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-family_zoning

  Which is also screwing over regular people and also causes you to have shittier cities with suburban sprawl

    It isn’t just housing it’s infrastructure in general. Governments are happy to bring in more bodies to fill jobs and pay taxes but don’t bother to plan accordingly and infrastructure takes a long time to build leading to a lagging effect.

    Hospitals, transit, housing, etc. It’s all being overwhelmed right now.

  Sounds like too many landlords, not too many immigrants.

      I’m not from Canada, but because I have the natural human instinct to help people

  The irony of a nation of colonial land thieves complaining about immigration …

    To add to your point…every nation stole or was stolen from someone else at some point. I always laugh at this argument. No one’s giving anything back that they were born into and didn’t literally take themselves. Are we going to find Henry the Viiis ancestors and make them answer for his barbaric ways? No. Egyptian pharaohs who enslaved countless people and god knows what else? No.

      Who do you think the Inuit stole their land from? The seals?

      You can only laugh from a place of privilege. Please educated yourself on the Indian Act and progress with existing treaties. Your comment is at odds with the reality in Canada.

        My comment just speaks the hard truth. You talking to me on the Internet is on the blood sweat and tears of someone else.
