Maybe reason No9 is the main one. Canada, along with other western countries, is turining into an authoritarian state...with bought and corrupted politicians.

What leave Canada? Answer: high taxes, horrible climate, stupid politicians, lack of affordable housing, massive debt, lousy public schooling, and a falling standard of living.

He just literally said they're not gonna take refugees....then winged it. Typical talk of a modern politician

Until we stop fighting amongst ourselves and start holding politicians and governments accountable, which is not likely, we’re screwed.

It's not a housing bubble. A bubble is when investors overvalue a commodity. Even taking into account speculative property purchases, housing isn't overvalued in Canada. It is where it is because that is where the market has found the balance between the high demand and the low supply. There simply isn't enough housing being built to accommodate a million more people a year. We need to build more lower and middle-class housing. As a student of both history and architecture, I can tell you we've been here before and we dealt with it, and we can again. This situation is both a result of many factors that could and couldn't be centrally controlled. Things that couldn't be controlled: Covid and a spike in retirement rates, an aging population, low profit margins for builders, and inflation (that last one is not so easy for a central bank to control as many people seem to think it is). Factors that could be controlled: Zoning laws and bylaws, linking immigration to the amount of housing available and being built, government greed for foreign money to balance their books, short-sighted politicians of all stripes, underfunding of post-secondary education, and lack of government incentives to make building worthwhile for contractors. I've probably missed some things, but the point is that this is not an intractable predicament, and good leadership, good ideas and the will to make things happen can get us out of it.

All deliberately manufactured and brought to you by corrupt, puppet-controlled socialist/communist governments - Federal and Provincial. Decades in the making. You reap what you sow. Millions of voters - many who had their votes bought by lying, corrupt politicians - made a significant contribution to allowing the country to get into the mess it is in. Ontario, in particular, has blood on their hands for much of the mess, because of their disproportiate political representation at the Federal level. Too many easily deceived people in Ontario, especially in Toronto/GTA area. Out of control immigration has ruined the country - again something that has been done deliberately. The prospect of moving to some other country to escape the insanity is becoming more and more attractive to many Canadians.

Politics are like a pendulum. In my youth the right was largely the unreasonable voice; strong conservative policies derived in part by religious values that didn’t mesh with more progressive mainstream views. There was also a small but perceivable undertone of anti-imigration and racist sentiment in Canada's rural areas. Now the pendulum has swung far to the left. Now the extremists are on the left, killing free speech, mandating bodily harm, and cramming a nonsensical woke ideology down our throats. The voice of reason is now right of center. If I had to compare the two I would say that the current left ideology has been far more damaging. I hope that the next election will be the start of a new Canadian renaissance and that the pendulum doesn't swing too far to the right. No single politician has done more to destroy Canadian pride, economics, and world standing than Justin Trudeau.

SOMEONE OPENED AN IMMIGRATION OFFICE IN INDIA AND COLLECTED MILLIONS OF DOLLARS TO BRING ALL STUDENTS THAT MONEY MUST BE SHARED WITH SOMEONE A CANADIAN POLITICIAN. MUST INVESTIGATE WHO, ARE THOSE OFFICE S SHWICH MINISTERS ARE DOING ALL??

the world is upsidedown and incompetent and corrupt politicians arent helping at all.

Basically saying, we won’t help. We will just say don’t do that thing continuously, while hoping that other nations deal with the refugees. Basically he’s saying the arab world doesn’t want Palestinians in their nations without openly saying it. Thats a politician for you

Australia has the same problem. All the international schools near the city are full of asians whose parents have also bought them an apartment.Its a investment rort.The housing waiting list is 20 years! The politicians have let so many people in ,who are not refugees--they just want an easy scam. So theres no places to rent and the public transport is overwhelmed. And of course the price of food has gone up from %200 to %700. So bad even the rich are wingeing.

Living in Toronto, I've seen this city degrade year after year in so many aspects and no-one seems to give a damn to offer anything but platitudes. \n\nIt's sad that the apathy from politicians and people has brought us to this point.

Sold Politicians

A LOT of RACIST comments on this video. Its these corrupt politicians and people with money who are screwing you over. Not immigrants. Grow up.

Canada is like that job you get to use it as a stepping stone to go somewhere better. Our politicians want to keep people broke and in debt so they continue paying enormous taxes to fund their spending sprees. Don’t believe me? Work here for a year and see how much money you lose and how terrible the services are. People I work with from India say they had better health care back home. Wake up.

Canadians will tend to blame 'students' (aka Indians) for this, but the truth is it's your own white, Canadian politicians and university/college directors who are responsible for this.

The homeless industrial complex to big to fail , the landlord elites have allowed all our politicians to become landlords even our housing minister is one so do you think they are flooding our country with foreign students and opening our borders to millions of migrants isn't to push housing costs to the moon so they can put more money in their pockets YOUR DAMB RIGHT , the same people that have lobbied for the soft on crime laws that are causing retailers to shutter their doors are buying up the properties at firesale prices including devaluing housing in the high crime areas then buying them all up , watch for plan B and that will be getting billions in government grants to use their properties to house all the homeless and feeding them through their online markets because there will be no brick and mortar stores WIN WIN for the elites who caused this insanity WAKE UP

WORLD ECONOMIC FORUM!!! our politicians work for these ass clowns and they want to bankrupt the west to bring in the CBDC! central bank digital currency. People will only accept it if everyone is super depressed and desperate. LOSS OF FREEDOM!

Canada is a lost cause now folks.No politician including pierre are gonna touch immigration.White guilt has led to insane virtue signaling with no end in sight.

Yea conservative politicians are horrible. They privatize everything and use taxes like the USA giving it to the middle man than that middle guy charges us. Its a classic double dip cons have gotten extremely good at in the US. Less funding in social services leads to this nonsense. They are grab fed funds and also use it to privatize as Ford hands it off to his rich buddies development co's like the last toronto mayor he gave millions to. Ontario is boned if we keep going conservative.

Immigrants need to gtfo, and they can take our politicians with them. I'm sorry, not sorry.

Left Canada when I was 16 and never wish to return. About the media Canada's media and American media has been owned and corrupt by most of the same people. You really never got to know US, though they have their troubles. For example, the same as Canada, they return to voting for the most corrupt of politicians and those who wish to ruin North America. Were you better off 3.5 years ago or now is the most simple question that should be asked of everyone. Good thing you lived in Vancouver, because in many parts of Canada they are always argu and fight internally.

I really dont know how our politicians sleep at night total incompetence. Most people would be fired if they were so crap at their job.

You trusted your politicians and obeyed them. You, especially the younger generations don't know about the God that blessed these countries so much. Now they are paying the price for not obeying that loving God. Canada is woke and broke. But still Jesus is waiting for you to turn to him.

This is how the American politician should learn to portray themselves instead of insulting and demeaning citizens at every chance they get. They need to be careful who they choose as president. A vulgar loud mouth or a calm and collected seasoned politician who could make more Allie’s instead of enemies? Who could resolve issues in two ways. By hurting your party by being irresponsibly loud mouth or by solving problems in the diplomatic and dignified manner?

Now investigate government lobbying for mass immigration & blocking housing builds. Canadian politicians are literally being paid by corps. to push their political interests, and it’s completely legal

I was fortunate to visit Toronto twice when it was great. The politicians have destroyed it by design of their globalist controllers. Illegal immigrants, homelessness, drugs crime. This is their agenda for most major cities around the world ?

No labor shortage and no need for immigration..it suits politicians to.do so.\n..more diversity isnt.needed needed\n\n\nLook at the shit show of the uk... same mess\n\n.goodbye Canada!

The entire system has been broken for decades and career politicians just keep making worse so they can afford a Rolex. It’s heartbreaking.

The immigration problem is only part of the problem. The liberals are the problem Justin Trudeau needs to be removed from office These immigrants are taking all of the Canadian citizens money.these politicians need to be held accountable. Everyone of them is guilty of treason for not taking care of the Canadian citizens first.

Whyte effed ups....\nYour politicians duped unsuspecting poor indian students with low grade education charging triple fees to sell permanent residence

As an Indian immigrant myself who came here many years ago, I completely agree. Canada was very different back then. Businesses want cheap labor and politicians want future voters, hence the immigration scam. All the more reason to push for automation and eliminate low skilled jobs. Otherwise keep importing large numbers from the 3rd world and turn Canada into a 3rd world country.

If we have a housing crisis and healthcare crisis, why do we keep bringing in enormous numbers of people we can neither house nor care for?\nThe answer is simple... Money.\nAre you an employer who's fed up with paying your employees a living wage?\nAre you a developer wanting to buy-up some protected land to build mansions that will be paid for with offshore money?\nOr one looking to build yet another condo tower in an already overly crowded and under-serviced big city?\nNo problem... Just buy a few politicians and bureaucrats and have at it. \nWe'll bring in the unskilled immigrants and bypass any regulations or planning common-sense and you'll be on your way.\n\nThe powerful are making unprecedented amounts of money at the expense of everybody else and every political party has been bought and is complicit in the selling-out of the working class.

Putting nearly all western politicians to shame

It only shows all this politicians are 2 faces in the same coin! If Trudeau was ousted and another quebecois replace him do not expect change to happen!

Mass immigration for sure destroying Canada, so is the outdated, poor school system, health care, dummy politicians and leaders. I sometimes wonder if Canadians really has modern skills left to survive in this 21st century to call themselves as developed country.

Please continue voting for left wing politicians. Please, don't stop!

There are no Muslim areas!! Blame the leftist politicians and the police they control.

Politicians are all the same breed. Liberals or Conservatives.

Sad and very pathetic as these politicians bring people who have no work ethic,less than zero skills and and live to worship a fairytale!

Get Trudeau put in jail. Your politicians are destroying your country.

It is trudo's liberal song... It looks trudo is prime minister of any other country but not canada. Where are sane people? On one side maga with bolsheviks methods, on the other side dems and libs with open borders and outsourcing.... Do we have anybody among politicians who cares about our countries??? Maybe nikki, but those mad maga dogs are tearing her apart. Can sane dema and gop actually unite around Nikki? Is it even possible? Or we are facing extinction and the system doesn't give us any chance?

Meanwhile over paid politicians are getting a 16k pay raise that they don't deserve. Yay. \nThey should be paid the average income of the area they represent. \nWe'll make price cuts everywhere (including our defense budget), increase carbon tax in one of the cleanest / least pollution producing countries, increase liquor taxes, pay our politicians more then they deserve, all while exposing our national security risk

Corrupt and vicious politicians know that Mosques control Muslims through specific leaders. The Mosque also decides who the ordinary Muslim will cast his vote for. All that a politician needs to do is woo the Mosque even at the cost of his own brethren or wellbeing of the country, to win elections. There is a difference between being good and being naive, between being good and being plumb STUPID.

Once they're there.......they are there for good. If people don't wake up and demand politicians put an end to the mass influx of foreign invaders, the west is done......then we'll have no choice but to take the matter into our own hands?

I would like to congratulate all of you who voted ndp and liberal. Look at how your brilliant voting has made canada such a wonderful 3rd world nation. I laugh when politicians say canada is a rich country...no...it WAS WAS a rich country. Now, because of brainless lemming liberals we are in the poor house.

Mainstream media news in Canada this is how you report the news in Canada by contradicting everything that the Liberal politicians in Canada say about Canada. Take a lesson from Harrison on how to report accurate and truthful information to the Canadian public. A Canadian family I have been following on YouTube left Canada with all their 8 children to escape Justin Trudeau's tyranny in Canada, and so they move to Russia ?? This Canadian family wanted their children to be educated in the Canadian public school system but unfortunately for them the Trudeau Liberal government wanted the children be indoctrinated into the LGBT lifestyle in Canada by forcing pornographic books to the students and other materials. Teaching children about the drag queen lifestyle in Canada and so on. When you have to move your whole family thousands of miles away in another to get away from all this craziness in Canada. And Russia ?? is not like the West media paints out the Russians to be. And this Canadian family gets to hold on to their Christian ✝️ beliefs and values. Can we do that in Canada without getting criticized for it ? NO ! Because the Trudeau Liberal government is anti-Christianity bigots. Freedom exists in Russia it does not in Canada, and the New Bill C-63 is proof that. Russia doesn't have that Bill C-63 over there forced on the Russian citizens. Not even Stephen Harper would have done something like that. Only a dictator tyrant like Justin Trudeau would do something like that.

Basic math can tell you that if you invite 500K people here a year when you build 250K houses a year will result in homelessness. And if you don’t create 500K jobs a year that there will be mass unemployment. Our politicians can’t do basic math.

Harrison, you've laid it all out here in plain English. Even the immigrants are mumbling and stumbling over each other these days. Many younger (under 50) Canadians among us have been indoctrinated by our education system with it's left leaning doctrine, to believe this massive influx of immigrants is good and as it should be in Canada. Naturally they have no model to compare with other than stories from their elders as to how things used to be. So they have blindly accepted the status quo without question. \nOf course, many(most)politicians, teachers, professors, reporters etc. being members of this same under 50 age group have reinforced this lie. As you've clearly pointed out, at the end of the day are those that profit from such a policy, like employers large and small, landlords and of course politicians who reap the favors of those in the winners circle. And the losers, all those in the under 50 age groups who scratch their head and wonder why they have no job, no medical care, no house and no future. Good post!

So what?\nThat is the goal. Import new welfare recipients and military aged thugs who will vote liberal. From a politician’s point of view, it’s a win/win.
