Many Canadians in their 20s and 30s are delaying having kids — and some say high rent is a factor

Anna Smith would like to start a family.

But she would also like more space for a baby, as the 27-year-old and her partner currently live in a 500-square-foot apartment in Toronto’s east end for $1,550 per month. Like many Canadians in their 20s and 30s, she says she’s realizing she can’t have both.

So Smith, a University of Toronto graduate student, has been delaying having children for two years now, a decision she calls “just heartbreaking.”

Trudeau found a way to kill babies without conceiving!
