Utterly absurd. No rent, no home. Out in two weeks unless they pay in full plus late charges. I'm saying this as a renter. Bad renters make it worse for everyone else.

Scapegoating? It's simple supply and demand, and nothing can change it. Socialism won't fix it, importing impoverished people won't fix it, legislation won't fix it. You have to attract people with the proper skillsets to make the country and city better. Having a booming population and no room to grow doesn't do that. The California Bay Area and Los Angeles area has already seen the problems this causes, companies and skilled workers are moving to places that they can afford to live and build companies. With more people comes less opportunities, Canada needs to learn from the mistakes of others. Do not take everyone, take those who want a better life but can also give back to the country.

Who would be against immigrants who obeyed immigration laws, followed every legal steps and waited patiently, then worked hard and honestly after they came, and became a decent and respectful citizen? No one.\n\nWho should be against immigrants who abused the system, jumped the line and got into the country or stayed in the country, by filing fraudulent claims or simply went underground, then worked illegally, or simply undermined workers' rights by accepting less than minimum wages, or jobs which totally disregard regulations required by law? Everyone.\n\nAlso every country should put their own people first, which include legal immigrants who are already there, and secure their livelihood before taking in more immigrants.

I love immigrants, they're what make our country so special all the different cultures coming together. The problem right now is because of terrible government mismanagement we don't have enough housing or jobs for everyone already here. That's my only reason for wanting to pause immigration. It's like being on a life raft that's already full, you can't take more even if you want to.

The immigrants that are coming here feel scammed, the older citizens have seen our infrastructure crumble, and our country-born youth are watching their hopes at a decent life fall away. Literally everyone is losing when you bring far more people into a country than its infrastructure can support. There is nothing racist or emotionally charged about that statement.

This man talking is descended from immigrants. I’m descended from immigrants. My husband is descended from immigrants. Everyone I work with in my professional office is descended from immigrants. They came poor and looking for a better life. They built this country on their backs. I’m sick of hearing that our problems are because of immigration. We have corporations with their hands in our pockets, billionaire grocery moguls raising prices arbitrarily, governments spending carelessly…do not put the use immigration as a scapegoat!!!

America TRASHED, wake up everyone

Everyone is sick and tired of being forced to learn foreign culture while immigrants reject our culture and make fun of it with the help of the government. Enough is enough

We have to acknowledge that not all cultures are equal or should be praised. This forced incompatible integration with the pro-backwards cultures ruins it for everyone, especially legit immigrants who want to integrate and bring positive cultures, skills, and work ethic to Canada.

Its on the rise around the world... Everyone's learning PATTERN RECOGNITION. Crying racism isn't going to work anymore...

It is a mix of everything, IMO. Several other countries are also in the same situation (Canada is not the only country facing this). I think the big part is capitalism, which squeezes out everyone and reaches a junction where there is no balance.

Please, blame the govt. I don’t think citizens or immigrants are to blame. Finding stable work in Canada is a challenge these days even for permanent residents/new citizens. No guarantee of work even after acing an interview and building skills as needed. At this point I feel like immigrants are just tax paying scapegoats, who are used by the government and hated by local people. This is not real inclusiveness. Govt must give priority to their citizens and encourage immigration if there are real opportunities to offer. Everyone needs work and stability inorder to live a civilized and stable life. Calling loads and loads here to benefit the economy and politicians just be called third world trash isn’t fair.

I see both sides. The issue is the government, because they fail to take care of their citizens. However, I also understand the other side of the coin, you need to look out for your OWN PEOPLE as well and provide for them. And so it’s coming to a point where….we can’t take care of everyone……? it’s a sad situation

But everyone there, except the 1st Nation, are immigrants???!!!!!!

Everyone’s so entitled these days

seems like they got everyone eating hand to mouth no matter how hard they work which kills upward mobility.\nThe free market doesn't address this because everyone wants to make a profit, housing prices will match what they can get from people.

Canada is the land for everyone. It is not belong tp white, colored and black.

Free Palestine ✨️ ?? bring everyone who is an American ?? citizen home from Israel . Bring everyone back to Europe, who are European citizens . Come home, brothers and sisters ❤?❤ One citizenship only can't have dual citizenship. Love one ? country no more Dual citizenship. Choose wisely Brothers and Sister's. God bless America ??

Let’s put it this way. If Canada limited the immigration, there would be a shortage of workers, not housing, and theoretically everyone’s wages would increase.

While that’s an insane amount to be behind and still living there, this wouldn’t happen as often if we fixed the damn housing crisis. Yes you will always have bad apples but I’m sure a lot of the people in similar situations are actually good people that are struggling to live and have got themselves into a bad situation. Not everyone has family to fall back on if they get evicted. I’m not saying that’s the case here either she could be a complete criminal taking advantage of the system but be easier to weed those people out if there wasn’t a housing crisis.

CNN should mandatorly have to post dates ,faq dates with each post what does everyone think

Why is everyone moving to Toronto. Canada is not Toronto. There are many places in Canada that needs to be developed. Why not develop other places. Toronto is saturated with people. Our resources are depleted. Rents are very high. New immigrants should go live in other parts of Canada. Start communities and businesses in other areas. All new immigrants cannot settle in Toronto. We need the rest of Canada to be developed.

I came as an engineering student in 1999. Visa students were not allowed to work outside the university. I knew i had to focus on grades and find whatever work on campus. At the time I envyied Canadian friends working during summer but i focused on school and campus work. Problem now is students are coming to work and studying part time. My aim was education not immigration. I met my wife and stayed. Sad to see the Canadian state now..immigration when controlled brings in cream of the crop....now we get anyone and everyone ?

people living in parks, no sanitary, wow, what a disastrous situation, no skills, no jobs, language barrier, is this immigration?, sinking into deep hole, let more people in and make Canada a 2nd world country, instead of having skilled migration system, now suffer, and let everyone involved suffer and more homeless on street, scavenging for food, and more crime rates rising, Fault your Immigration System

Wait till they feel the winters .. I makes everyone rethink life

Canada needs to STOP handing out PR to everyone especially people over 60 who are not going to contribute to the tax system and burden the healthcare system that is already crashing!!!

immigration = inflation ... too much immigration is detrimental to almost everyone in Canada ... housing is part of the inflation calculation ... only corporations and politicians who take bribes from corporations profit from too much inflation

f... what is this now everyone goes wherever he wants f.. this illigal criminals

I dont think the problem are immigrants , I think the problem is the type of immigrants that are coming in. My father had to show his hands to prove he was a worker to come into Canada. Now we are excepting everyone without caring what they can do

It's worse in commie BC. No point renting anything in this province, zero landlord rights, landlords and seen and treated like criminals as everyone complains about the lack of housing.

In Quebec we are incapable of offering rent and services for everyone coming here, and there are too many people for proper francisation. French is in decline at a rate no one has seen and the only way for us out of this is to either leave Canada or have a federal government that actually cares.

Why are rents so high? This is a part of it. All landlords must include the risk of not getting paid for years. All renters pay for people like this. Leftist policies hurt everyone.

Dug ford needs to fix the tenant board... Everyone is taking advantage!

This is so absurd. Is the situation would be other way around. Everyone kept screaming about deporting these immigrants(Indians) but when it's someone from a different community (black) in this case. Nobody says anything about the situation. Even I saw people commenting bad about not being a landlord. Our society is screwed.

Yall are coming to canada and we are trying to get out. You are not doing yourself a favour by coming here, this is not the same country it was years back. People here have become more american; rude, disrespectful, overly egotistical, our streets arent safe anymore, car thefts at an all time high and no one talks about the amount of random acts of violence coming from the homeless in my area, housing prices surging YoY by atleast 11%/year. Cost of living has increased 4-10x on certain things in the grocery stores. I love how everyone thinks their country is great till it isnt then flood somewhere else and bring all the issues and problems with them

Scapegoating is the right word. The same people complaining about a lack of infrastructure for everyone are the same people who voted for politicians who cut social services and removed rent control. Blame yourselves.

Canada isn't a nation of immigrants at all. Canadians are the descendants of immigrants the same as everyone else on the planet, including the indigenous. That is, unless your family has never left the place where humans first evolved.\n\nUnlike modern immigrants, the first white settlers in north America did not sail into an established society with power stations, health care, water and power distribution networks etc., to get the benefit of other people's hard work and investment. They started from scratch.

This has got to stop I live in San Diego and we are getting swamped it's affecting every neighborhood and the amount of garbage and illegal activity is off the hook. No respect for anything we have. Just exploiting the system while they can. Trump says he,ll deport everyone who come across like this it's time for a massive wall and huge penalties for doing so

Everyone deserves respect & dignity but stop illegal immigrants immediately

Kamalas border everyone

When the reality is there's more than enough to go around - enough resources for citizens, legal residents and additional immigrant influx - new faces are welcomed by all. \n\nWhen the _perception_ is that there's enough to go around but the reality doesn't reflect this, mostly conservative and certain liberal types start raising question, doubts and concerns. \n\nWhen the reality is that resources and infrastructure are strained, along with unrestrained ever rising COL, everyone regardless of political alignment starts raising questions doubts and concerns regarding the feasibility of such policies. \n\nIt isn't necessarily against those immigrating as long as they're earnest but rather, having to do with budgets and budget cut allocations seemingly favoring others when the priority is usually one's own initially. \n\nTl;dr : It's money. No other way to slice it when examined analytically. The economy, national debt, budget and budget cut allocations.

This is entitled behavior. They heard about all the freebies and rampaged the border like they will do to our tax dollars. If your too stupid to know why this has happened then don't vote. They are escaping socialism. They elected a minority candidate and he changed everything, now his daughter is the richest chick there and everyone else is broke as f.

Everyone here talking sense, look out, the government is watching ? YOU are the enemy

Y’all better vote correctly in November. Our ??? government is screwing everyone ?

As a Canadian, it’s because we lack the infrastructure and it’s driving cost of living up. It sucks for everyone

Everyone os blaming immigration but nobody is talking about building more business, employment and bringing competition in Market.

Everyone that cheered for the Taliban when they marched back in power should house the Afghans fleeing the Taliban.

They move into a country and demand that everyone conform to their ideology. It's ridiculous. If you like it so much stay where you were.
