The young, middle-class families Toronto needs to function and thrive are packing up, leaving the city’s viability at risk.
A recent Angus Reid poll found that more than 40 per cent of Greater Toronto Area residents are “seriously thinking of leaving Ontario because of the cost of housing here.” Quality of life and other cost-of-living concerns were also cited as reasons to leave the province. Recent immigrants to Ontario expressed the highest desire to move. Many consider Alberta, with its high wages and relatively affordable housing, as a prime destination. Others said they were considering moving to the United States.
Immigrants who contributed to the high cost of housing now want to leave after the damage is done. Toronto is so diverse everyone hates each other.
