Doom Loop: Survey reveals public opinion on GTA housing crisis

According to a public opinion survey conducted by Ipsos (on behalf of BILD), 90 per cent of people in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) agree there is a housing affordability issue in the GTA and 72 per cent of agree that there is not enough being done to address it. In addition, approximately half of renters and young people in the GTA say they plan to move out of the province or to the suburbs in order to buy a home. Such shifts and the loss of these younger demographics would have a significant, and dire, impact on the GTA’s social and economic landscape.

The fault for this lies squarely with Trudeau and his destructive mass immigration scam.

‘Fix your system’: Winnipeg rally calls for more international workers to remain in Manitoba

Hundreds rallied in northwest Winnipeg to call on the federal and provincial governments to allow more international workers to remain in Manitoba.

Protesters gathered at the city’s Adsum Park in The Maples on Sunday afternoon to demand that more people get their expiring work permits extended, among other things.

The federal government announced late last year it would stop offering an 18-month extension to post-graduate work permits, which began during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Students can’t find jobs? Gee how did that happen?

Especially difficult summer ahead for young people looking for jobs, economist says

Isabelle Burzese started looking for a summer job in February. Now, after finishing her first year of studies at Concordia University in Montreal, she’s back home with her family and she’s still looking. With expenses piling up, her search is becoming more and more urgent.

“I’m not looking to get a job for spending money or money to have fun, even though I would love to,” the 18-year-old from Toronto says. “It’s really for tuition and rent and groceries and things like that for next year.”

Do not believe a word that the business community or the government says about the need for mass immigration to offset labour shortages. They are evil liars.

New faces, old fears

The front-page headline demanded action: “Time to Close the Gates.” It was March 26, 1908. Centred on the page, a list of three recently murdered men and their four “supposed slayers” – their non-Anglo-Saxon, ethnic names unmissable in all-caps. “The Goth is at our own gates,” The Globe editorial warned.

“One has only to glance at this list to see that the Slav and the Italian are swelling the statistics of crime in this country.” The only effective cure for the “invasion” would be “the closing of the gates on the offscourings of the Slav and Latin races.”

This Globe piece is one of a small flurry of articles that have recently appeared expressing concern about Canadian attitudes toward immigration and or identity politics.

It’s not surprising that the paper of record for Canada’s Corporate cronies will have published 3 such pieces in that last week.

The elite have have sold Canadians a “patriotic myth” that immigration is always beneficial and that to oppose it is racist.

Someone is getting worried about their supply of cheap foreign labour hence the push to remind Canadians to know their place in the run-up to Canada Day.

Canadians’ concerns about immigration levels on the rise

A recent federal report reveals a significant shift in public opinion on immigration quotas, with a growing number of Canadians expressing concerns about the number of immigrants entering the country.

Blacklock’s Reporter says according to a Department of Immigration memo, 35% of Canadians believe that the current number of immigrants is “too many,” a 13-percentage-point increase between March and November 2023.

COGGINS: Who can afford what… Canada’s affordable housing crisis

Canada is experiencing a crisis of unaffordable housing. One recent survey concluded that housing in Greater Vancouver was “impossibly unaffordable.” Another survey found that only 23% of British Columbian renters pay less than 30% of their income on rent, almost half spend 31%-49%, and 25% spend more than half of their income on rent.

That raises the question of what is affordable housing.

Current Immigration Levels Could Lead to ‘Overreaction,’ Quebec Premier Says

MONTREAL – Quebec Premier François Legault warned Friday there’s a risk of “overreaction” against newcomers if the province maintains its current immigration levels.

Legault told reporters on the Gaspé Peninsula he doesn’t want to see Quebec end up like the United States or France, where the debate on immigration has fuelled extremist views. Recent data show there’s been an increase of more than 300,000 non-permanent residents in Quebec in the last two years, a number Legault said is more than the province can accommodate.

“There’s a risk of reaction or overreaction in the face of impacts on services, on the French language, on housing,” he said. “We have to be balanced in how many immigrants we take in every year.”

Why hundreds of thousands of people are leaving the city for other parts of Canada

Toronto once reliably lost about 20,000 more people to other cities in Canada than it lured in from around the country. But in 2017, that number doubled to 40,000. And then it doubled again. In the past two years, 220,000 more Canadians have abandoned Ontario’s capital than arrived.

The majority of these Toronto expats have moved to other areas within Ontario including Oshawa, Hamilton, the Niagara Region and London, according to Statistics Canada’s domestic migration data. They’re also calling Calgary, Edmonton and Halifax home.

It’s a trend that’s worrying Toronto officials and economists who fear the city’s middle class is disappearing.

WHITE FLIGHT

I believe “Middle Class” should be read as “White Flight” for the purposes of this article .

Toronto is clearly on the downside and this article confirms what I have suspected was occurring, the city is being hollowed out.

Toronto’s demise is being accelerated by mass immigration from incompatible cultures which in turn causes overburdened services and housing unaffordability contributing to the city’s declining quality of life.

The city has long been both magnet and dumping ground for Trudeau’s destructive immigration policy which has imposed an unwanted cultural shift alienating to longtime residents.

TO’s situation is exasperated by its bizarre leftist government which is more concerned with celebrating perversion and insulting Canada’s heritage than actually fixing what’s wrong with this incipient dumpster fire.

I won’t mention the rising crime rate or the many imported ethnic and religious conflicts being played out in our streets because that would be racist.

But that won’t stop city hall from raising taxes and offering less and less in return every year.

People see the writing on the wall, they see the ghettoization of Toronto neighborhoods and the GTA in general.

They see that indoctrination has replaced education in the city’s schools.

They know the city becomes less safe with each passing day and they know they are not welcome in multicultural Toronto.

Chow’s election may come to be regarded as the watershed moment signaling the beginning of Toronto’s irreversible decline.

Viva diversity.

In a country where immigrants are the majority, anti-immigration politics are obsolete

Among the less commented-on results of the Toronto-St. Paul’s by-election was the performance of the People’s Party of Canada, the populist-nationalist party led by former Conservative cabinet minister Maxime Bernier. If you missed it, here it is: they got 234 votes, or 0.63 per cent of the total.

What a disappointment this must be for the PPC, after winning 2.67 per cent of the vote in the riding in the past general election. But it’s in keeping with the trend nationally. In the 2021 election the PPC took nearly 5 per cent of the vote. Nowadays it’s mired in the two-to-three-per-cent range.

Coyne bullshits for a living, but this nonsense is below even his typically low standards.

Toronto’s population growth higher than major U.S. cities due to ‘surge of immigration’: report

Toronto’s population is the fastest growing in Canada and in the United States, a new report says.

Its growth is attributed to a “surge of immigration,” according to the report, published by Toronto Metropolitan University’s Centre for Urban Research and Land Development. The report analyzed population growth data in both countries over the span of a year, from July 2022 to July 2023.

Trudeau’s Canada: Woman pays 100% of her income on rent

Living with your parents. Living with your ex. Giving up basic needs like food and clothing.

These are just some of the sacrifices Canadians say they’ve been making to pay rent amid the surging prices and decreased availability marking Canada’s rental housing crisis.

Demand for rentals is outpacing supply across the country. A recent CBC News analysis of more than 1,000 neighbourhoods across Canada’s largest cities found that less than one per cent of rentals are both vacant and affordable for the majority of Canadian renters.

Toronto’s Hunger Games Housing Crisis: 12,000 mid-income households entered a city lottery to get a break on rent

More than 12,000 mid-income households entered a city lottery to get a break on rent. Their chance of winning: 1 per cent

When Toronto city hall and the developer of a gleaming new high-rise launched a lottery for apartments at reduced rents this spring, hopeful households turned out in droves — nearly 12,500 of them, each seeking refuge from a worsening housing affordability crisis.

The first phase of the west-end Galleria on the Park development was offering brand-new, city-supported homes aimed at mid-income earners, which cost hundreds of dollars less than market rates.

Slumlord Trudeau: When Asylum Seekers Have Nowhere To Go

Ann doesn’t know how old she is. She thinks she’s probably 40 or 41, but she became separated from her parents as a child, and she has no record of her birth. When she was a child she lived alone on the streets of Kampala, Uganda—one of thousands of homeless youth in the city—and survived by collecting plastic bottles and scrap to sell to recyclers. She slept outside at night, then later in a church, and attended school by day. Remarkably, after years of diligent study, she secured a high school scholarship, saved money and enrolled in university. She earned a degree in international business and began a career in business development for multinational corporations.

“Asylum Seekers”, “Temporary Foreign Workers”, “Foreign Students”, “Mass Immigration” “Chain Migration” “Anchor Babies” all part of the plan to alter Canada’s demographic forever.

And Canadians are made to pay and pay and pay for their ever falling standard of living and fractured low trust society all to appease Trudeau’s corporate cronies and their insatiable demand for cheap labour.

Ottawa split on plan to let undocumented migrants apply to stay in Canada, Immigration Minister Miller says

Immigration Minister Marc Miller says a federal program to give migrants without valid papers the right to stay in Canada will not be coming any time soon as talks continue in cabinet about the plan, which some of his colleagues sharply oppose.

The proposal – which would include allowing rejected asylum claimants and former international students with expired study permits to apply to remain in Canada – was presented by Mr. Miller to cabinet before MPs began their summer recess.

Big majority of Canadian Gen Z, millennials support values-testing immigrants: poll

Blast from the past – Look at those values!

OTTAWA — Gen Z and millennials are split on whether Canada’s aggressive immigration targets are good for the country, and 70 per cent say the government should be ensuring new arrivals “share common Canadian values,” such as respect for minority groups, according to a new Postmedia-Leger poll.

Since 2021, Canada has been aiming for an intake of 500,000 new Canadians each year and the government plans to keep this steady until 2026. But only 11 per cent of Canadians aged 18 to 39 say this is overall a good thing, while 34 per cent say it is generally good for the country but has also created some problems.
