  1.  @karentoffan7027  the irony Is you ain’t complaining about the empty homes our snowbirds leave here as they run off to spend their money in the USA But I am certain you ain’t singing the praises about the empty homes here in Canada when it comes to those Chinese Immigrants working in China or Hong Kong (last I checked 300 thousand worked in Hong Kong alone) sending their earnings back here to Canada supporting our economy 🙄

  8. People like you didn’t give a sheet when White Nationalist Canadians took in foreign money blocked off city streets for 3 weeks and called for the removal of a elected Canadian Government When we know a BLM/Indigenous Canadian protest blocking the same Ottawa streets got 36 hours Even if this guy was Canadian If he started an Asian Canadian Nationalist movement Took in foreign money and called for the removal of a elected Canadian Government He would be on trial for treason within 3 minutes and you know it

  10.  @kylegallant3423  I would argue There are a lot of reasons for our overheated real estate, supply and demand is just one of the reasons But the main reason to me was decade upon decade of low interest rates. Creating cheaply borrowed money, and little other investment options other than overheated crypto /stock/real estate markets the Bank Of Canada (BOC) aggressively started to raise rates in March of 2022 which roiled the markets. That first 50 basis point hike was the first of its kind/size in 22 years…. they did 7 more hikes in 2022. Pull up a 25 year chart on the low/lowering interest rates and the inverse relationship between the high/higher home prices. ( You will see the only times our home prices didn’t go up was during the US Subprime Crisis, which crashed the world economy where the BOC lowered rates even more And once more during the mortgage stress test years where they kept rates the same but then those rates gradually came down) The irony being… these rate hikes???? wasn’t because some one at the BOC suddenly went “Oh hey let’s raise rates we have had overheated real estate for 2 decades” Common sense dictates you want to cool your overheated real estate markets you raise rates But they raised rates because of consumer staples inflation and the supply side issues that caused it (Raising rates wasn’t going to fix that inflation, it was to scare the average consumer into spending less) It was just a byproduct…. that home prices were predicted to decrease by 38% by 2024 And homeowners up for renewing their mortgages were to see a 40% increase in monthly payments by 2025 Now 5.5 million Canadians will be in financial trouble as interest rates rise This wasn’t that hard to see We all tend to forget not to long ago we had 2 1/2 channels going 24/7 on TV dedicated to non stop programming in how to buy/renovate and sell a property Around that time it was estimated 1 million Canadians would be underwater on their mortgages if interest rates went up 100 basis points The BOC jacked up rates 425 basis points from 2022 to 2023 And should have kept jacking them up as we followed the American lead But they stopped because banks started to fail in the USA Now rates are expected to go down not up…. So home prices are expected to go up again

  13. Canada does not want to call it genocide As Israel bombs Palestinians in their Gaza Ghettos But we sure wanted to call it cultural genocide with the Muslim Uyghurs In China When some Uyghurs committed terrorist acts on Chinese streets Where some Uyghurs were thrown into re-education camps The world and Canada called it cultural genocide Where some Palestinians escaped their Gaza Ghettos committed terrorist acts on Israeli streets Canadians call that terrorism, justifying the bombing of Palestinian civilians in their Gaza Ghettos Which begs the question China throws money at their ethnic Uyghur Chinese minority and gives them special rights over the Han majority. ((Like the ability to have more than 1 kid when the rule was still enforced back then. Preferential treatment for minorities when it comes to University Education etc) like they do with all their ethnic minority people, as they consider them as Chinese citizens Yet we consider that cultural genocide What does Israel consider these Palestinian people as??? As they bomb them in those Gaza Ghettoes Israel forced them into. Yet in this situation, we mostly stay silent on that genocide. Canada even abstained from a UN vote giving Palestinians a UN seat

  14. Truck convoy protesters got 3 weeks to block those Ottawa city streets A BLM/Indigenous protest 2 years earlier on those same Ottawa streets, got 36 hours before they were arrested Are these students blocking access to the school? In any event the Trucker protest organizers were white Nationalists Canadians who took in money from foreign entities and called for the removal of an elected Canadian Government Imagine if a Palestinian Nationalist Canadian organized a Trucker protest who took in money from foreign entities and called for the removal of an elected Canadian Government I suspect he/she would get 3 minutes to protest before being arrested for treason.

  15. What’s up with the racist with musical instruments in their profile Choose the starving artist route then whine about it later in life Talk about walking billboards for staying in school There should be psychological testing in gun licensing as well I’m willing to bet this guy has Dementia or Alzheimer’s Only reason they let him off the first time and only banned him for 5 years for owning a gun Is he must have been a gun owner for a very longtime. But no one is asking why the mistakes now

  17.  @billstock3663  lol.. assimilated to white European culture after we put them Indigenous people in those residential schools to get rid of their culture. If you are fine with that, you can complain about the changing culture and the wrong people... But ain't nothing different than what happened in the past

  18.  @billstock3663  and yeah when you take away the second largest nation in the world from those pesky folks living here first. I bet we are going to have all these great things these days. At least these immigrants are overpaying for what we stole....as they take it away from us

  19. @SubArc Adventures more like stole it from the folks living here... If you are fine with that.??? Then why are you complaining about the more recent immigrants taking the land away from us? At least they are overpaying for what was stolen Especially those European folks who got free land in the Prairies just for showing up

  20. @SubArc Adventures why would you include visible minorities like first Nations people? They are not immigrants, that we are talking about. And they have intergenerational trauma from those residential schools where we tried to get rid of the original culture before us

  21. @SubArc Adventures yeah you have probably fallen for that money laundering narrative when it was only 5%. Which falls in line with most money laundering situations in the past where huge money flows go into a country to buy assets and money laundering being 5% to 7%

  22. @SubArc Adventures you are Conservative right

  23. @SubArc Adventures do you have a problem with those Re Education camps in China (the Conservative party sure does) most Conservatives I know think our residential schools had no impact on indigenous people looking for ha==nd outs

  24. Canadian banks helping clients bend rules to move money out of China It is illegal for Chinese citizens to remove more than $50,000 (U.S.) a year from China without government permission, partly to stop corrupt millionaires from fleeing with their money. But a review of B.C. court cases by The Globe found they have worked around this restriction by sending millions of dollars into Vancouver-area banks through multiple wire transactions of smaller amounts by family and friends. TheGlobeMail 👇 Judges: CIBC bank supports clients who break China’s cash-export laws, to buy Vancouver homes Canadian banks are not obliged to follow China’s rules, and nor are they obliged to report clients whom they know to have broken them – so long as they are not breaking any Canadian rules in the process. According to both the original judgment and the appeal ruling, it was the practice of CIBC to support clients dodging China’s US$50,000 export limit. This was done by the client arranging for multiple individuals to make wire transfers of up to US$50,000 on their behalf, with the funds eventually reunited in Canada. SCMP

  26. It's important because the Chinese and their companies, economically dominate these SE Asian economies and their economies are highly dependant on the Chinese economy. Don't care then don't cry the next time some Chinese person buys up a home on your block

  27.  @FJTx11  well he's over there right now... SE Asia economy will leapfrog the EU and Japan to become the 4th largest economy in the world. Yet once again the Chinese have a economic stranglehold on SE Asia... Trump cried about China, was their biggest China hawk for 4 years... Yet he got them to help him launch his Truth Social platform after he got voted out of office

  29. It’s was a multi country agreement with the Iranians And It was the USA who unilaterally decided to exit that Iranian deal 6 months prior to this Huawei CEO being arrested for doing business with Iran Trump didn’t like the agreement where trade and money was sent to Iran to dismantle their nukes The irony is Iran ramped up their Nuke program after the USA left the agreement And really trump made it political as he stated a trade deal between the USA/China could secure the Huawei CEO release We were just naive boy-scouts arguing “rule of law” to the Chinese So they went okay rule of law for Canadians in China then Thus the two Michael’s instead of getting arrested and deported right away and that Canadian ex con drug dealer who appealed his 15 year sentence in China and got capital punishment sentence on appeal as they said okay “rule of law” for Canadians What most people don’t get is the Chinese are more lenient on foreigners Because during the original trial the Canadian drug dealer’s accomplices one got life in prison the other capital punishment sentence

  32.

  35.  @kyungshim6483  ​​⁠ Get with the times it is the Chinese Government that limits how much money these people can take out of their Country China is the wealthiest country in the world It’s just their Government limits how much a citizen can take out every year 50 thousand USD It’s just our Canadian Banks argued we don’t have to follow Chinese laws our Courts agreed 👇 Judges: CIBC bank supports clients who break China’s cash-export laws, to buy Vancouver homes Canadian banks are not obliged to follow China’s rules, and nor are they obliged to report clients whom they know to have broken them – so long as they are not breaking any Canadian rules in the process. How far, then, will a financial institution go to satisfy the flood of Chinese millionaires looking to find new Canadian homes for their family and their funds? SCMP 👇 Canadian banks helping clients bend rules to move money out of China It is illegal for Chinese citizens to remove more than $50,000 (U.S.) a year from China without government permission, partly to stop corrupt millionaires from fleeing with their money. But a review of B.C. court cases by The Globe found they have worked around this restriction by sending millions of dollars into Vancouver-area banks through multiple wire transactions of smaller amounts by family and friends.

  36.  @kyungshim6483  the laundering that is f flowing into Canada is in line with money flows into any country at 5% to 7% Where you are just taking away from the fact 95% to 93% of the money flowing into Canada comes here legally Plus our Courts have ruled our Canadian banks don’t have to follow Chinese laws as long as we are not breaking ours 👇 Judges: CIBC bank supports clients who break China’s cash-export laws, to buy Vancouver homes Canadian banks are not obliged to follow China’s rules, and nor are they obliged to report clients whom they know to have broken them – so long as they are not breaking any Canadian rules in the process.

According to both the original judgment and the appeal ruling, it was the practice of CIBC to support clients dodging China’s US$50,000 export limit. This was done by the client arranging for multiple individuals to make wire transfers of up to US$50,000 on their behalf, with the funds eventually reunited in Canada. SCMP

  37. We borrowed and spent living the good life/high standard of living That is what you folks don’t get… we are broke…. Canadians who can’t pay our debts sitting on 2 trillion in Provincial/Federal debt these days Debt we really started running up in the 1940s. Sow dem gud ole dais ye pine fer? we didn’t pay for the first time around Which we just kicked this debt down the road for future generations to pay for Problem is, we stopped meeting “natural” population replacement rates in 1971 And we have around 1000 boomers turning 65 each and everyday in Canada (That started in 2011 won’t end until 2028) By 2036 we will have around 11 million Canadian seniors As by 2032 immigration will make up 100% of our population growth So we pack in the immigrants the poor ones to make our french fries and more importantly flip us over in bed in the old age home The rich ones to come support the economy and prop up the real estate Because most of these boomers are also personally cash poor/in debt But luckily….most of these boomers???? Shockingly by some engineered miracle the last few decades 😉!!!!! own a 40 year old plus never been renovated, overpriced home some immigrant is willing to overpay for. Which these boomers can get lines of credit on or reverse mortgage on Or sell if they have to Which they should not .. … as that home will be one their own personal old age home in the future unless you can show me some links… on our building/buying enough facilities to house millions of Canadian seniors in the next decade Yes it’s one big Ponzi scheme that scr (ew) over the younger folks but we don’t want to crash our Ponzi Scheme of economy.

  38. I think the only one not thinking is you China was throwing money at Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region Gave the ethnic Uyghur people special rights as a ethnic minority in China, over the Han majority like the ability to have as many kids as they wanted This was done???? all before Uyghurs were thrown into re education camps and after terrorist acts were done by ethnic Uyghurs on Chinese streets Yet I’m sure folks like you cried genocide in China as you today applaud the bombing of civilians in Gaza What special rights does Israel give these Palestinians in their Gaza Ghetto???? Heck Tibetan Life expectancy went from 35 year of age before the take over to 70 years of age today That’s because the vast majority of Tibetans were serfs no better than slaves. But I bet you ain’t talking about how the population has doubled in Tibet these days

  39. Conservatives were the ones who were the biggest cheerleaders to off shore our jobs with their free trade and Globalization push I know because I was called a communist against capitalism when I warned about this back in the 80s You just swallowed the narrative it was Democrats in the USA and Liberals in Canada That wanted to offshore the union jobs of their voting base back in the 80s I blame every Canadian and every political party for the mess we are in When P.P gets in office he will have to borrow and spend and pack in the people like every Government that came before before him

  40. Immigration isn’t the main problem I would argue There are a lot of reasons for our overheated real estate, immigration is one of the reasons But the main reason to me was decade upon decade of low interest rates. Creating cheaply borrowed money, and little other investment options other than overheated crypto /stock/real estate markets the Bank Of Canada (BOC) aggressively started to raise rates in March of 2022 which roiled the markets. That first 50 basis point hike was the first of its kind/size in 22 years they did 7 more hikes in 2022 The irony being… these rate hikes???? wasn’t because some one at the BOC suddenly went “Oh hey let’s raise rates we have had overheated real estate for 2 decades” Common sense dictates you want to cool your overheated real estate markets you raise rates But they raised rates because of consumer staples inflation and the supply side issues that caused it (Raising rates wasn’t going to fix that inflation, it was to scare the average consumer into spending less) It was just a byproduct…. that home prices are predicted to decrease by 38% by 2024 And homeowners up for renewing their mortgages will see a 40% increase in monthly payments by 2025 Now 5.5 million Canadians will be in financial trouble as interest rates rise This wasn’t that hard to see We all tend to forget not to long ago we had 2 1/2 channels going 24/7 on TV dedicated to non stop programming in how to buy/renovate and sell a property Around that time it was estimated 1 million Canadians would be underwater on their mortgages if interest rates went up 100 basis points The BOC jacked up rates 425 basis points from 2022 to 2023 And should have kept jacking them up as we followed the American lead But they stopped because banks started to fail in the USA Now rates are expected to go down not up…. So home prices are expected to go up again

  41. Plus the majority of immigrants are in the same boat as ordinary Canadians who can’t afford a home But then to be brutally honest… we need them to come here and work no one really said anything about housing them If we could pack them into factory type accommodations Like we do with migrants picking our fruits and vegetables right now…. Without public outcry we probably would Even better if they just decide to leave after decades and decades of working in Canada

  42. I travelled to a lot of countries in my younger years Most expats were came across who lived in another country long term Especially in these 3rd world or developing countries (most developed countries will have the same population issues and driving in debt like we have) complain about the country they are living in comparing it to their country back home Canadian expats included

  44. Btw China leads in 37 of 44 critical technologies of the future. You need to go do a search on the role Chinese students had in the rise of America's silicon valley Just stick to making them French fries

  46.  @firstandforemost87 if we could pack the immigrants into factory type housing like we do with the temporary workers picking out fruits and vegetables Without public outcry We probably would 👇 Housing conditions for migrant workers in Canada 'worse than if we were in prison,' new report says We are living in conditions of modern-day slavery," said one migrant worker, in one of the anonymous testimonies included in the report released by the Migrant Rights Network and Food & Farmworkers Working Group on Thursday. "We have no indoor bathroom. We have to use a portable toilet outside or pee in a bottle. No internet or television. No dryer or washing machine.... It feels worse than if we were in prison." CBC

  47.  @SilentZyko  Canada lost 7 farms a day for 20 years. When we have to give farming subsidies… then that means there is a problem with our farming also

  48.  @SilentZyko  unfortunately I think we are going to need corporate farming… I would argue Government state owned enterprises But then again this is Canada….

  50. Freedom convoy was white nationalist organizers who took in foreign money and called for the removal of an “Elected” Canadian Government They got 3 weeks to protest When an Indigenous/BLM protest in those same Ottawa streets 2 years earlier????? got 36 hours I bet in the future, if some Palestinian Canadian organizers who were Muslim Religious separatists who took in foreign money and called for the removal of an “Elected” Canadian Government They would get 3 minutes and be on trial for treason. And your views would be different
