Nevada went Red for Trump in 2024 & they have people living in tunnels underneath the streets of Las Vegas, hey Herm?

NEW FEDERAL REPORT LINKS IMMIGRATION TO RISING HOUSING COSTS
Statistics Canada and IRCC confirm a direct correlation between recent immigration and housing price increases especially in Canada's largest cities.

So it turns out the government of Canada just released a report — and it's not from some conspiracy blog or partisan think tank. No, this is from the Trudeau government's own bureaucrats at Statistics Canada and Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada. What does it say? Well, it quietly admits that something many of us have known for years and were called racists, bigots, and extremists for saying out loud is actually true: mass immigration has directly caused housing prices to skyrocket in Canada.

They crunched the numbers, ran the models, and here's what they found: from 2006 to 2021, a sharp increase in new immigrants people arriving within the last five years — was tied to an 11% increase in both house prices and rents across municipalities. Eleven percent. And in big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal? That number jumps to 21%. Rents up 13%. Those aren't theories. That's what happened.

And here's the really shocking part: more than 80% of those new immigrants ended up in just 53 municipalities. So if you're living in a city, if you're a working-class Canadian trying to buy your first home, raise your family, or maybe just rent an apartment that doesn't bankrupt you, you're paying the price literally for Ottawa's immigration agenda.

But wait, this is where it gets worse. This wasn't a mistake. It wasn't an accident. It wasn't just a side effect of some well-meaning policy gone wrong. This is the design. Trudeau and his successor, Mark Carney — yes, the former Goldman Sachs banker turned Liberal savior — engineered this. You import millions of people, you restrict supply, you choke development with red tape, and then you act surprised when prices go through the roof?

You know who benefits from this? Not the young couple trying to buy their first condo in Mississauga. Not the plumber in Surrey trying to get out of his parents' basement. No, the winners are real estate investors, developers, corporate landlords — and the Liberal Party, which gets a permanent bloc of voters hooked on big government. Everyone else? They get crushed.

The housing situation is much more broken in the US, even Red states like Florida, hey @Herm Herm?


So if you think it's bad in Canada it's much worse in the US, hey Herm?

Canadians are among the most indebted people in the entire G20. They also have the lowest economic growth and the least amount of investment. This is a recipe for an inevitable crash.

The brain drain is picking up. Canadians with the skills are doing what I did and emigrating. They have no confidence in their country anymore.

You haven't seen anything yet. By the time I am done with Canada, Toronto and Vancouver will look like Calcutta and Karachi.

Quote from: . on July 03, 2025, 12:52:21 AMI won't. It breaks my heart to see what has befallen Canuckistan and I have no desire to revisit that economic corpse to have my nose rubbed in what it's become. Let JoHoMo cheer its demise. At least he knows they'll execute him through lethal injection when even he cannot stomach the collapse any longer.

Fuxake, Canada could have been something more than merely the next "real socialism hasn't been tried yet" bucket of Fail.

Quote from: . on July 03, 2025, 08:32:24 AMDamn Shen, that's horrible. I used to live a two minute walk from Bank and Somerset (the intersection seen at 11 minutes 26 seconds), the Independent was my local grocery store. Even when I moved into the area nearly fifteen years ago the warning signs were there that shit was getting real bad. For instance, the three story red brick building opposite the intersection was unoccupied, being little more than a facade after a Jewish Stocktake* gutted the place previously. Very obvious when you walked up the laneway behind it; there is literally no building behind the facia that you see in the video. It's been that way since Harper's time in office, maybe even Chretien's, I'm not sure.

A little further along that side of Bank Street and you get to Barrymores. Once the venue a lot of internationally known name acts would play when they passed through Ottawa, it had long closed by the time I had arrived (though they did reopen while I was there, albeit for burlesque shows on an infrequent basis with part of the building converted to a sex toy and fetishwear shop. And for what it's worth, that was before Truedeaup came to power.

I left Canada a little over five years ago now. I still recognise a good many of the places that guy visited on his drive through Gatineau, Hull and Ottawa and it's definitely gotten a lot worse in my absence. I don't think I could ever return - too heartbreaking to see the rot spreading through its core. I certainly wouldn't bother to set up a small business in the area; I recognised only a handful of businesses that weren't big names on his crawl down Bank Street for instance, the others are simply gone, replaced with an ever shrinking entourage of hopefuls that will likely be bankrupt of defunct in 12 months time.

Depressing. At least I got to see it before it went to total shit I guess.

I live in Barrie and I do not know Ottawa. Toronto is a write-off. Even other big cities in Southern cities like London, Hamilton, Kitchener and Windsor are too. This will only get worse with Carney's ICE car ban in nine years. Goodbye auto sector jobs.

oh, nearly forgot....


* - Jewish Stocktake.... a colloquial reference for a deliberate arson attempt aimed at collecting insurance. Certainly the owner of the building was dragging his feet on renovating and letting out the space for business use, it was more economical for him to write it off as a tax loss each year instead.

It's a Good Country.

Lokmar knows it too!

You are in denial or UR trolling. The signs of Canada's decay are all around. Soaring crime rates, rampant drug use, mass homelessness/poverty, inability to get ahead, and government crackdowns on liberty/internet.

I live in a first world nation that makes your country look like some African toilet. I could never live in Canada again. That would be a major step backwards.
