Canadians are living through a housing hell. Since Justin Trudeau became Prime Minister, rent and mortgage costs have doubled. Rents have reached a record-high average of $2,196 a month. It now takes 25 years for the average Toronto family to save up for a down payment. Before Trudeau, you could pay off an entire mortgage in that time. Over the past year, the cost to rent an apartment with a roommate jumped by 18.5 per cent, making it more expensive than living alone when Trudeau was first elected.
