    Same everywhere.

    In Canada we also have no housing, some places have 0% availability, not even 0.2% or 0.1%, literally 0% apartment for rent.

    To top this, our PM has no problem with 500’000 to 1 million new immigrants per year. Schools are overwhelmed by kids (classes go from 20 kids per classroom to 30) who sometimes does not speak English or French, healthcare/hospitals/ER are at 200%, people die in corridor, forgotten. And there is 0 renting available to house people.

    Canada is going 200mph into a brick wall.

      Do the immigrants pay taxes for schools and healthcare? How is an increase in population from immigration different than a possible increase due to births?

      Sounds like you are blaming basic social problems caused by conservatives limiting social services on immigration.

        Unfortunately a lot of refugees or immigrants do not work, either because they have no diploma, do not speak english, or their diploma are not recognized. If they work it is part time at low wages, for too many of them, it is sad I know. Of course some come with $$$ or whatever and are engineer etc, but it is harder for refugees. I have nothing against them I am one myself!

        And births compared to immigration is minimal. For instance we have 227 births per day, 198 dead per day, and 800 new immigrant per day. Just in Québec, a small province.

          What happened to the points system that Canada has? I’d have thought the immigrants without a degree or knowledge of English or French would have too few points to qualify.

            It’s almost like the poster above is a racist fear monger who blames immigrants and liberals for everything wrong in society. Ask him if we should increase taxes to improve healthcare, education, or public housing? If these really are the problems we can fix them through a progressive tax that gives the middle and lower classes a lot of bang for the buck.

              Yes this is what we need, public housing, but contractors prefer to build “rent condo” at $2000/month instead, and we, the working class, have nothing to rent

                Public housing is publicly funded through taxes and recovered through reasonable rent. What contractors want is irrelevant for public housing. Support paying more taxes, support the Liberals and NDP and you’ll get public housing. Keep up the “Trudeau is letting in immigrants who are messing Canada up” rhetoric the conservatives are pushing and you’ll find rich condo developers getting more rich and the working class getting played for fools.

                  I never did and will never vote conservatives. And we have Liberals/NDP for 8 years now and it’s worst than before, I don’t know the solution :-/

            Refugees (from warzone like Ukraine, Syria, etc) do not need points, they are welcome to Canada and this is the right thing to do

              I was asking about the immigrants specifically, but that’s a good point in that I don’t know the breakdown between immigrants and refugees.
