No housing. Everything is ridiculously expensive. Bringing in more people what a great idea...
Extremely short sighted "solution" to a "problem". I don't think we should shut down immigration completely but we should switch to accepting only the most urgent refugee cases for a while.
Here's hoping these new Canadians have jobs and will pay taxes. Not sure where they will live. Housing issue is ridiculous. Whatever happened to planning the infrastructure first? Maybe a new "Go West Folks" campaign is in order.
@@wokeisajoke6806 in order? It already is in place. Alberta had ads around the country telling people to move west to Alberta....now, we're in a housing crisis.
@@wokeisajoke6806 People will join gangs and become criminals if can't survive. Canada will be zombieland once criminals significantly outnumbered polices, imagine a future that 5% of our population are bad guys LOL
@@frankie9953 So sorry Frankie. Our government is trying to, in my opinion, fix their financial deficit by bringing in more people. That's great if they will share the load but I am not convinced. I just see my taxes going up every year to support newcomers. We were all newcomers at some point in history yet there was no welfare or credit cards back when my parents immigrated. They had to knuckle down and do the work. Thanks to them I am indigenous (I was born here). We need to stop trying to please all the minority groups. If we are truly one country, one people, that means we are all the same. No special treatment. Just go do your job and pay your taxes so ALL people benefit. The money I currently earn is mine for only 5 months of the year. Awful.
The guest pointed out something very important. If immigration stays at current rates, our population will DOUBLE in 25 years. Imagine doubling the size of a city like Toronto. Where would all these people live? This doesn't bode well for the future of the Greenbelt.
This is a huge country. Cold yes. But livable almost everywhere.
Canada Is A Small Island In The Middle Of Nowhere 👽 And We Are Full.
I wouldn't worry too much about it doubling. That's only if current rates hold which they won't. I'm not anti-immigrant at all and want to see the country grow but there will be a point where we simply can't take in any more people and the government will have to start stemming the tide.

Nah. Nope. /
But let's send Ukraine 9 BILLION dollars. This government has made too many reckless decisions and have done irreparable damage to this country.
Oh no wonder the streets and public transportations are starting to smell like New Dehli.
Oh boy, hooray for bragging rights huh? What an achievement, just casually forget about that pesky thing called housing ok? Population growth shouldn't really be framed as a competition, in my opinion
If the government added 1.15M people since last year, is fair to demand the current government to stop wasting taxpayer $ on other countries and spend that $ on building at least 500k new housing and infrastructures?
No, we need to send more money to Ukraine
Push places to adopt more urban density projects and better transit to help keep traffic down.
Lmao 😂 so important more immigrants to build the homes?

Seriosously we had a 500k growth in homeless rates. He literally made 500,000 people homeless. Like if this continues we'll have a civil war.
This needs to stop. This is causing issues that we can’t fix
STOP!
And how is this sustainable? This country has really gone down the drain
Nah. Nope. /
We have too many people here as it is. This unlimited immigration is just insane.
@@nsevv this stat is nonsense because most of the land is not inhabited. This would work if we brought in immigrants to build new cities.
The disgusting part is they are justifying this on the basis of low birth rates, when the low birth rates are caused by population immigration rates. Ideological insanisty, the enthusiasm of this reporter really is reminiscent of chinese party officials who introduced the one child policy.
And you can't build in a large volume of the lands are unihabitated. Thunder Bay for example can't expand as a city because of the Canadian shield. Southern Ontario can't be paved over because it's our primary source of food. Vancouver is nothing but forest and mountains, the lower mainland which also produces a ton of food is almost entirely paved over. @@BilboBaggins-yk8qq
@@dixonhill1108our cities are not very dense. You don't need to sprawl things out.
Maybe women would have more children if it wasn't to expensive to raise them
Some of them want a lavish lifestyle so you can't afford kids
Soon as i save enough im head up north to the territories where the population will be small. I cant believe this used to be the country i loved and be proud of. Gone are the days now
Real Canadian people true Canadian people deserve more opportunities but we can't because of Immigration it's ridiculous. Close Immigration down for a while let Canadians get back to where they need to be. It's 2023 I'm sure these countries could improve the health care and universities and hospitals and create more jobs. And better human rights and bam you got your self a canada but just not in canada. Just saying
Its a shame this is the only reasonable option we have been given.
The new Canadian dream??: leaving Canada
If there's a country which is easy to migrate and have good quality of living, then it will be filled with people from all around the world quickly. Calm down and embrace the competition!
@LC-hb2rp it's not so much the amount of people it's canada just has too much open land they need to build then bring in immigrants they are putting the cart before the horse.
@@Saturn7747 America gets around 1.4 million immigrants per year
@@rameshpudhucode6862 America has quota for Chinese and Indians. Otherwise they will get 5 millions per year easily. By the way, the US treats illegal immigrants too well and that is a different huge problem
And there goes all our low-income housing to foreigners, and screw the Canadians that really need it, myself included !!!
People creating these policies are completely disconnected from reality
I know quite a few immigrants that either have gone back to their own country or wish they never came here. Specifically because the job market isn't as was promised to them or the cost of living is way too high. Thanks Turdeau!
They already made their money by flipping property and skyrocketing real-estate costs. Thanks Trudeau.
Yes thank you Mr prime minister
😊
Well you got the money either way! They pay tuition fees, living expenses and other money they spend !
Worst mistake of my life, I resigned my job chasing canadian dreams. For the last 10 yrs zero $ saved, working 7 days a week.
I’m glad I’m not the only one to see that this is a very bad thing.
Glad I got my uk passport northern ireland here I come! Canada is a doomed country
@@Dacicus-lz9gr awesome👍 I have to wait till next year.
@@Dacicus-lz9gr The biggest anti-immigrant sentiment seems to come from recent immigrants. Sadly.
A great detached house in Ottawa costs about $700,000 so naturally the well-paid government advisors tell Trudeau "ain't no problem - keep 'em coming." Absolutely criminally insane!
Canada is unnecessarily creating a crisis in housing, in grocery hikes in fuel hike. Why is the government bringing in immigrants without providing proper housing, infrastructure??? The rent for a single room in a suburb where I live was 350 in 2021 now it's 550!!!!
Just 550? Still cheap before it hits 1500... Could be expensive only if min wage workers can't afford a room at all.
the housing ponzi scheme needs more peopole coming in to prevent it from collapsing. And the fact that this economy is pathetic is covered up by unusually strong population growth.
100%. Then as new Canadians drive the pathetic economy, the Bank of Canada responds with higher interest rates.
@@Andycap1001 mortgage delinquincies have been on the rise for a while now. Those old men at BOC will have to decrease rates by mid 2024. GDP already contracted 0.2% last quarter even with such strong population growth.
Stop immigration , tried to get a doctor lately ? .
Funny, without immigration my doctor wouldn't be here.
Because mass immigration has worked out so well in France, scandinavia, etc, etc..
So Well 👽 They Did A 7 Part Documentary On It. ❤ Not Available On This Platform.
There is a difference between mass legal immigration and mass refugee crisis. People coming to Canada are paying a fortune to the government to legally live in Canada. It's the governments fault for not putting a cap.
Lol their immigration rates are litterally a quarter of ours per capita.
@@reyfarce5697 but putting a cap would mean less money for them

Yeah, Canadians are homeless and most of them can't find homes.
Most of Canadians are actually home owners. Only few of them don't own homes actually.
Are you a Liberal Supporter, Not that Much Canadians own homes. @@Saturn7747
Note,
Canadians are hurting big time due to failed policies.
This is an example of just one of many,
Wake up…
NO housing in Vancouver.
No Medical services.
No spaces in schools.
Did I mention NO housing?
This just keeps getting worse.
I remember when Canada was a great place to grow up.😢
It's hard to believe how such a wonderful country could slide into the abyss! now we have the same problems as other countries do overpopulation no opportunity & poverty, Bravo!👍👏

Trudeau needs to go
C'mon Hannah, you're normally awesome but one BIG question (ie. the Elephant in the room) you didn't ask which needed asking is WHERE are these immigrants coming from? The other reporter told us this is the biggest migration since the Hungarian crisis back in the 50s but we don't know which countries these migrants are coming from now. Was that deliberate, I wonder?
They’re all indian, chinese, and middle eastern…
@@Thiery14 you're forgetting the nigerians, which will drive up crime.
And the other never asked or answered question... Why?
That's easy@@JimLambrick we actually do need immigration in order for this country to progress. Clearly, we're not having babies as we used to and if we remain stagnant, we will reverse our course which will be the slow destruction of Canada. We need people to replace the people retiring otherwise, it's over.
1.15 million Indians
I am seeing young Indians begging for jobs and food on roadsides and in grocery store parking lots here in Durham region. what a wonderful country Canada is turning into. I wonder who people will blame in 5 years once the tent cities are everywhere.
Indians? From India?
Terrific.
I don’t think Indians do that. As an Indian in Canada, we would rather come back to india than stay in Canada.
Enough is Enough!!! There is no housing available for our Canadian citizens and the cost is outrageous in Nova Scotia. 😡
And there ladies and gentlemen is the reason Canadians cant find housing
Stop this madness now.
The only reason so many people are being allowed into Canada is because the Canadian debt market is saturated and they need new people to have credit issued to them because the people already here are already loaded down with debt. Without the introduction of new credit into a debt based economy, the whole house of cards begins to fall. Because the existing household debt is not being paid back in a timely fashion, if at all, the economy is responding negatively. Thus the mass influx of new citizens into the country facilitates the expansion of the credit market and allows for the creation of new money to keep the economy propped up. If our economy wasn't in a shambles, I would be willing to bet entering Canada would be much more difficult. The way it used to be.
I agree, it's just one big pyramid scheme. maybe that's why most of the immigrants selected come from the Philippines and India. These nationalities will live with multiple families in one house and hence be able to save money fast and be eligible to take on new debt to purchase big price items. It's ironic that Canada, one of the most indebted country per capita is bringing in record number of immigrants.
Build the hospitals and housing first then bring them in , is anyone in charge that is sane or did someone leave the switch on and pass out ? how does this make any sense ? you going to take them up north dump them off in the bush an say welcome to Canada ? or dump the people born here that paid for it all up there to make room for them ?
Correction : * Canada's Population added 1.15 million Indian since last year
Quite true and glad you highlighted it. Most of them are unskilled.
Classrooms can always squeeze in a few dozen more and we have lots of family doctors and hospital beds for a million more people. Well planned!
All so true, Maxine!! 🥰🥰 And do not ever think the numbers somewhat skewed by folks coming across "America's" southern border and continuing northward (with or without bus tickets paid for Biden), looking for the kinder, gentler Canadian way of life. Oh!! And FREE healthcare!!! 👃✌️🇨🇦
Don't worry, they've planned it so well that with all the diseases and "cures" they have prepared for you. You won't even be around long enough to make a difference. Everything will become a self propelling money making machine.
Perhaps the government should help families raise their kids a bit more by making life to Canadians and current immigrants living here a bit more affordable. Most people want to marry and have kids, but they don’t mainly because of affordability. Children will become workers one day. Why bring more immigrants in such high numbers? We don’t have enough houses, enough doctors, enough schools.
Then you need to compete for houses, doctors and schools, like what people did in India and China. Those things are never free to get in real world.
@@Saturn7747 except that we are not in China or India ( I am so sorry for the ones who struggle over there 🙁🙏) , but we are trying to make our country better and find solutions to ease the mess
When you can no longer afford a basic ROOF over your head, there's something very wrong and sinister going on here. Real-estate should have been capped or regulated a long time ago. This is ridiculous. No wonder Trudeau legalized weed, he knew we needed to be high for what was coming.
For votes, that's why.
exactly. people are attracted to Canada for its reputation as a G7 member. in reality there is a reason we are not replacing ourselves with our children. this is the same liberal regime that wants to bring in more home builders because they have brought in too many people!
Unless Canadians protest and take to the streets, Canadian's quality of living will go down drastically. People from other countries will have a better quality of life from where they come from coming into Canada but if you have been in Canada for more than 10 years your healthcare, costs of living, housing options are all way worse.
It is necessary to protest this incompetent government bringing down the whole country with high inflation and mass immigration.
1 million Indian out of 1.15 million "immigrants" Jai Hind Veni, vidi, vici
Most are Sikhs who paid big time to go to that icy hell
Foreign students hold student’s visa but their spouse should not be offered the work permit and their kids( if not Canadian) shouldn’t receive the free education and healthcare in Canada. ( America never allows this from happening even their governments are far richer than Canada’s) The government needs to learn to save taxpayers’ money and puts the Canadian interest first.
If you don't allow their families, they'll opt out n go to other countries. N Canada needs that money like never before
How can the population grow this much without growth in GDP…
Look at Stats Can and you can thank India and the Philippines for unloading their people here.
Our daughter applied for a job here in Canada ( her parents are Canadian Citizens ) . She got her degree in English Language. And still she did not get the job. Pathetic, I would say. Canada will allow immigrants into the country who can not speak proper English and they are not highly skilled either.
Supply and demand.
It's always hard for new grads of English language/literature to find job in English-speaking countries, even 20 years ago.
Might look for law degree as next step
Is she qualified, or not qualified. Seems to me every "qualified" immigrant i see is serving big macs for minimum wage.
@@trainsimulatorgameplay5577 they are doing it until to pay their tuition, a fee they should pay before coming here
If this keeps going I’m going to have to become an immigrant myself and perpetuate the housing crisis in a different country. The Canadian government does not care about Canadians.
Letting all of these people in and not having done a single thing to alleviate the housing shortage!
It’s absolute insanity!!
And don't forget about health care professionals and school teachers for the children. It's insane and self destruction, thanks to this liberal and incompetent government.
Assuming 3 people per family unit average, I guess we have also seen 400 thousand houses built across Canada in the last year... ohhh... no... guess that is why house prices and rents are so high. Perhaps immigration should be indexed to Canada's ability to build new housing units.
5 per family is much more "normal" nowdays. Family is very important to some ethnic groups and faiths. They have not had to deal with insane land speculators or feminism. 👃✌️🇨🇦
Actually most immigrants aren't having any children either. @@galeparker1067
This is why people are loosing their homes. Not enough housing. Shameful to disregard the citizens that live in the country for newcomers who pay more. I heard over 90 % of the people who use the food banks are people who have been in Canada under 1 year, so they are milking the system for everything they can get. The locals get higher taxes and MAID.
Just stop donating to food banks and tell others around to do so.
@@Saturn7747starve them out of Canada? How nice of us
It’s more around 70% but I get your point, it’s still not good.
If we have food banks and homeless, we obviously didn't need more people.
My grandfather chose MAID, and all the things he didn't qualify before got approved, free diapers, 24/7 nursing services, meal supplements, etc. He changed his mind and they took them back
I would like to thank Ontario (mostly) and Quebec, for voting in Justin...AGAIN. Thats all.
Canada wouldn't be so popular if new immigrants had to live in the territories and build their own housing.
Or if Canada had no welfare.
Myself, my brother and my friend went to that Chinese Light Up festival last week and the next day three people got stabbed. It seems like the longer I live here, I move closer and closer to getting stabbed. I can feel that something really bad is going to happen in the future.

Amazing. Tell me other Canadians has anybody every asked you what our population should be? Have we ever had even the hint of a discussion about the subject even on the abject failure of our MSM level? How many are we supposed to let in, and more important... why?
And just who gets to decide these numbers... and again who gave them the authority? I was born into a country around 20 million and it was pretty good. So just why are crowded cities and over run infrastructure supposed to be a good thing? A good thing for who? Oh I know already... a few big banks.
*Have you added 1.15 million housing units as well?? No. So this level of immigration is unsustainable and a negative factor for both Canadians and recent immigrants alike.*
As a Canadian millennial my government has never worked for me I can’t afford a house let alone kids … bring in the immigrants .. to make up for a completely screwed up way of life
How many did leave the country? And how many are here illegaly?
population growth in a country facing severe housing issues is a nightmare xD
Hey, maybe there is another reason for the housing shortage other than just the economy. A population growth of almost 3%. Meaning 1/33. So for every 33 beds we had last year we now need one more. For every 33 houses we had last year we now need one more.
Alberta is destroyed, 5 hours to see a doctor in his clinic. This is unsustainable.

184,400 new migrants to Alberta alone in one year? Thanks, Danielle Smith (who is supposedly Conservative). Seems like it was quite sneakily done, actually. I don't know anyone here who would support such an invasion but of course, no one asked us.
@@Dacicus-lz9gr If you watched the video, you heard that the vast majority of this influx to Alberta are migrants. Not immigrants and not Canadians moving from other provinces, which no one here would have too much of a problem with I don't think. Migrants ? We should have a big problem with migrants. Do you want a safe neighborhood and a safe home? Alberta has every right to request more control over "immigration" to this province. Saskatchewan has requested it and Quebec has full control. Not only has Danielle Smith not done so (to my knowledge) but she has let in a staggering number of people, the most by far in Canada--people we have nothing remotely in common with and who pose an enormous danger to you, me, our families and our kids.
And not enough affordable housing... Thanks Truturd
The people have spoken... moratorium on immigration, now.
No wonder it is so difficult to find affordable housing?! Enough!!!
Gee I wonder why there is a housing shortage.
Oh that poor .33 child!
Good. The markets will be strong.
Imagine hiring a hundred new employees for your business, but not planning to accommodate them beforehand. That's what happens when you put fools at the helm.
Population growing so quickly that's why interest is getting high quickly. Job growth is growing but prices are high because of high interest rates now few people are spending to budget their spending. Feel so bad for those businesses that are not going to survive and only a few people will stay longer in their jobs. Many jobs grow but the main question is how long those businesses stay if no one going to buy because of these high prices. If businesses not going to grow how they are going to pay their debt.
Just FYI when other countries see western news like this they are not thinking how wonderful this kind of Democracy is.

Yeah and there is no place to house them! Or Canadian residents! If the government let's a bunch of people move here,housing should be available! This has been a nightmare 😢 so many homeless people and not enough jobs it's horrible!! 😢
The real issue; there is no organic/internal population growth. A lot people do not want to have kids due to high of cost living, having to work more to cover bills, etc
Exactly and many european coutries already proven that mass immigration it's not a solution, it will only decrease cohesion and increase social problems.
