Canada’s new housing and infrastructure minister says closing the door to newcomers is not the solution to the country’s housing woes, and has instead endorsed building more homes to accommodate higher immigration flows.
Sean Fraser, who previously served as immigration minister, was sworn in Wednesday morning as part of a Liberal government cabinet shuffle aimed at showcasing a fresh team ahead of the next federal election.
Strong population growth through immigration is adding pressure to housing demand at a time when the country is struggling with an affordability crisis.
Canada’s home building capacity is at it’s limit and no you aren’t going to find enough carpenters to import.
There is no way enough new homes can be built to ward off the coming catastrophe.
The crisis in housing affordabily will have severe and lasting consequences for many families and singles not to mention seniors on fixed incomes.
This assault on our economic security will only get worse and tragically none of it had to happen.
Was there no one in Ottawa able to point out to the idiots that mass immigration is a primary cause of the housing shortage?
That mass immigration is not a magic pill able to solve all problems?
I am convinced they want the homeless crisis.
