  3. Canada is finding out the hard way like Sweden did that socialism/welfare state and open borders do not mix.

  10. <This country built on immigrants. Stop blaming immigrants for for problems that have nothing to do with them> European immigrants to be exact. < blame housing industry for building unaffordable condos and houses instead of affordable housing. Put the blame where it should be with the ones in charge and it is not always government but the greedy industries.> It is the government's fault as it was government policy that enabled them and made things costly. The housing industry builds "unaffordable" condos because bureaucracy made affordable housing un-viable. Plus they're not building or renting anything at a loss. There is nothing greedy about companies recouping the costs and turning in a profit.

  11. <Offshore investing> Due to punitive domestic tax policies.

  12. Air BnB is a consequence of government meddling that made it too costly to maintain long-term rentals through rent control and lopsided tenancy laws in favor of tenants.

  18. <Canada’s birthrate is below replacement. > Thanks to Canadians favoring career and lifestyle over family and future.

  19. <it's letting companies buy up huge chunks of real estate that needs to stop.> Because the government taxed and regulated everyone else out of the market enabling those companies as they're the only ones who can afford to fill the void
