    Please stop parroting this notion that Canada’s problems mirror those if the united states.

    The number of so called “illegals” pales in comparison to the number of foreign investors buying up property and jacking IP the rental rates.

      I’m just going to correct you here. The problem if Canadian housing isn’t foreign investors (they account by like 2% of the real state market), but the absurd zoning laws and the “missing middle”.

      Check our “oh the urbanity” youtube channel, they do a really good analysis on Canadian houses markets.
