Yes, JT is a giant AH (soon to be replaced hopefully along with his gov...), but beyond that, the main couse of housing shortage is government regulations and fees, not shortage of labor, at least not primarily. If there is land available, people can build their own homes, if they are not prevented by trade barriers, licencing fees and a greedy buerocracy. There is also a backlog of technological developments, as the wood frame home is just no longer the state of the art, not safe against fire, high wind, and mold, so new architecture is needed, but as a European architectural engineer, they do not allow me to just go there and build better, trade barriers are plenty..
Thank you so much for this video I would love to see more of this! Your channel is very helpful and informative and the production quality is top notch 👌
I will share my comment, even though it is a difficult thing for me to talk about, and while I almost 100% agree with your liberal perspective, my perspective is something you and most people may not agree with. I am the son of an immigrant, as well as the grand child of a woman who immigrated to canada as a farm-labourer. My grandmother immigrated from Poland and was given land by the canadian government. My father on the other hand, was a teacher with a master's degree, but when landed he worked as a janitor for many years! So a common misconception is that the "canadians", i.e. settlers descended from migrant workers coming in search of a better life, actually are a VERY large percentage of the population, and the only true "canadians", are the first peoples who populated this continent 10,000 years ago! Why does "canada" really need immigrants? Well yes, the population is aging and we ARE in need of workers, of whom immigrants are more than happy to supply. But there is another fact, that a lot of immigrants coming to canada actually want to immigrate, because their own nations have been kept in poverty. So for example, while a mexican farm labourer makes a very very low wage in mexico, they can come to canada and make a much higher wage, even though this "higher" wage is actually MUCH lower than what a white canadian would get paid for the same work. This creates a very competitive market place which forces businesses in canada to hire the cheaper labour, compelling the government in turn to take more immigrants. It's not that immigrants are taking peoples jobs. Rather, it's that businesses won't pay a "living" wage that middle class canadian workers are used to, because they can just hire workers from impoverished nations, who all have been impoverished due to the imperialism and power of the U.S. regime... the latter of which is built on the backs of black slave labour, and on violently stolen land. This may be an uncomfortable truth to many canadians, immigrants or not, but it is critical in creating a new culture of solidarity and respect, that will carry the canadian political and economic landscape into very uncertain future times, both for indigenous peoples, white canadian workers, and skilled immigrants who all need to figure out how to survive in an actually very rich abundant country.
I actually wouldn’t say that white Canadians making much more than immigrants(especially adaptable ones) I once did a job in Halifax that required my customers to tell me information about their income, and I can tell you most of the time it’s like around 40000 per year
@@and1597 How do you know the white canadians that make only 40k aren't immigrants? We're a nation of immigrants, unless you're indigenous. The true canadians aren't white.
I feel they should be involved more in housing than using most of their revenue on health in fact I am surprised Canada is not part of the top 10 most technologically advanced countries in the world and I think they should stop their unless you have Canadian experience mentality otherwise so to say but the economy might crash and the country will not move forward.
@@MakeThatChange And about immigrants stealing their job obviously that not possible infact most of their students that are graduates move to the US for higher salaries and who else would replace them if not immigrants. And sorry about that part of the economy crashing but it's somehow the truth.
This is a very controversial video and very complex issues unfortunately. Population growth is required to sustain a country's labour force long term but the way the government has handled our immigration has been downright immoral. We are going through the biggest housing crisis in the history of the country and the government has wasted the last decade through terrible choices which have now made the average Canadian's life worse off. Immigration also drives down labour wages and drives up the cost of living and housing. Dark times ahead for this country.
With birth rates what they are, what's the other feasible option? New workers have to come from.somewhere and there's not enough babies being born to sustain the current social system.
This is wrong. Globalization and anti-workers campaigns, union busting, etc have driven down wages. Lack of restrictions on property rentals and no incentive to build affordable housing is what is driving up the cost of living. Canadian capitalism is in crisis. Socialism is an excellent solution for canada, or at the very least a more progressive funding of services and creation of jobs by the government which is what stimulates growth. People like you only give reasons for canadians to fight against immigration, and not fight for a government that benefits the working class, immigrants or otherwise.
@@MakeThatChange it is partly because they leave family back home to support and because life is is extremely expensive buying a house is nightmare so majority are in between that is why They send the money back
1. Immigrant owners usually higher own country people, the job are isolated with there country people. Spanish owners hire Spanish people , Tim horton is all people from south Asia, mcdonalds with south east Asian. We want to promote inclusion but we want to expect the same back. 2. This is not an immigrant fault but the results is housing situation is bad, it's the government is not adapting properly. 3. Immigration increase, crime increase, as Toronto in the 2000-2012 had really low crime rate. I just want more inclusivity and keep the Canadian culture
@@MakeThatChange I am a second generation, so my mom was an immigrant, I want to be as general as possible with number 3 but to be specific, I find the culture that have experience hostilities in there countries, generally come with a highten sense of vigilance. I believe when the Canada groups people in the same neighborhood , people tend to defend themselves and more probable to escalate aggression. And to argue against your point Toronto wasn't like this before and correlation with immigration and population has increased crime rate , where Toronto doesn't know what to do. Toronto seems to be worsening as a city and to watch that happening, I don't like it
@@MakeThatChange all I want to be to notice is that as immigrant we need to inclusive, and I want to learn about all culture and at the same time I don't want to lose Canadian culture. An example Chinese new years is awesome holiday people take days off, yet regular new years people are working. As a Canadian holiday it loses it festivities. Or when hiring or allowing people to find housing , don't hog it within people of your culture everyone is equally looking for work. Yah yah y white canadian don't want to hard labour for low pay but allow people willing to work to work...
@@MakeThatChange we can say that mental illness, drug abuse is corresponding to the struggle of how canada is changing and we can correlate a few of those changes to how Canada is reacting to the amount of people that enter the country; generally In the big cities. Let's stop: I love your channel, I watch almost all the episodes you put out there. 70% of my friends are second gen and the other 30% are first gen. Canada has mis managed immigration for some time. I just want to mention that immigration has hit us all pretty hard not only on the Canadian side but also brain draining the most talented people in their countries here in canada , not mentioning the hardship of living in a new country. It's just not all butterfly and rainbow as I persived from your video. Immigration can be a great thing for both parties when organized and managed well.
When I was an immigrant in Canada I did feel the resentment of the people of Canadian lineage. When I decided to leave Canadian people threw all kinds of insults like that I that I must be dumb to leave such a great place like Canada, that I will not make it and that I will be back within a year and so on. That was 25 years ago and I have not been to Canada since and proud of it. Unless you are from a seriously impoverished country or brutal dictatorship moving to Canada makes no sense. Leaving Canada was the best thing I did for myself.
@@MakeThatChange My Family immigrated from what is now the Czech republic when I was an infant. I moved back moved back to the Czech Republic with no regrets.

@@continentalmilitaria Thanks! And sorry that some of my fellow Canadians left you with a bad impression. I hope it wasn't the majority of Canadians, and I do wish your experience here had been better.😌😍
I think you will find that these negative stereotypes are largely the product of politically conservative Canadians who encourage and promote these inaccuracies. I’ve often felt that these stereotypes suggest an intrinsic racism and paranoia among the conservative types. Something we do not need in our nation. Good job setting the record straight.
Hi I was working in a very big public organisation. I was victim of racism and discrimination. I was told by a canadian born colleague that I am stealing the job of canadian 😢
You’re looking at this issue from one angle and most of these sources and the so-called studies are liberal-leaning. Next time try to include all perspectives on such a controversial topic like immigration.
And I will advise you to do research on the country and don't make hasty decisions so you won't regret it later though I am not discouraging infact I am just like you but I am doing research.
Your country as well as other countries in Africa will become developed in a couple of years. No, this is not a good idea. You are better off staying. In the future Africa will become the immigration direction. No, I am not being sarcastic. Do your research .
And by the way, this is an excellent video, even if I am not 100% have your liberal perspective, I appreciate you taking the time and standing up in a time when there is so much hostility. If anything, canada would benefit from taking even more refugees and immigrants, and regular "canadians" would also benefit from the culture and services that immigrants work so hard to give. Please ignore or ban anti-immigrant nazis who have nothing better to do but to troll on your channel.
Thank you! I am not sure we’d label ourselves as one thing overall. Life is a spectrum and our views encompass different beliefs, some are liberal, but some are not.
Sounds like a repeat of history- the 1881 to 1885 construction of Canada’s railway. Immigrants being used to do cheap laborious construction work that no Canadians want to do. The grass is dry and yellow on the other side. Asia seems to be the next big thing.

Spot on as always. Also concerning the crime part, perhaps one must note that immigrants must undergo a background check if or when necessary. That aside, police certificates / certificates of good conduct are required prior immigration.
