'Huge increases': Economists sound alarm over impact of Canada population growth on housing market

The worse supporters of this debacle are not the right, but the woke NDP and Liberals. However, you are correct that the banks such as BoM have been giving money to the Century Initiative, and they need to be held accountable for the damage they have caused. Anybody involved in the Century Initiative should be held civilly liable for the damage to the country. https://www.reddit.com/r/CanadaHousing2/comments/16ihasv/a_community_deep_dive_into_century_initiative/
Right wingers support the century initiative bud
There are a number of conservative provincial governments that need to be held accountable for supporting immigration levels that are detrimental to Canadians and permanent residents. However, the most damage is being done by the Liberal/NDP government that actually decides immigration levels. The reason I say the left is supporting this not the right, is because when I talk to hardcore NDP and Liberal supporters they agree with the current immigration levels and what the government is doing. When I talk to conservative supporters they are against these immigration levels despite their provincial conservative governments supporting them (although at least in PEI that seems to be changing). Having said that some people on the left are starting to realize that these immigration levels are only suppressing wages for the working class.
You've fallen for the propaganda hook line and sinker lol
You have to be more specific, which propaganda have I fallen for?
Conservative party voters may speak out against immigration, but what do the party members actually vote for and support is a different issue entirely...
Also Canada is caught in a demographic crisis, 20% of our workforce is set to retire in the next 10 years, so we either:
-Reduce services like healthcare or OAS (very unpopular) -increase taxes (also unpopular) -increase workforce via immigration
Choose your poison.
One in twenty immigrants is 65 years or older when they come to Canada, so immigration is not going to solve the aging population problem, and raising the retirement age even a year or two would have much more of an impact for that issue. I agree PP has been very quiet about his policies around immigration and that is worrisome (although I can't see how it can get any worse than what Trudeau and Marc Miller are currently doing) . I don't want to come across as anti-immigrant, I don't blame them, it is the ridiculous levels of immigration into Canada well beyond what the country can support and that is the government's fault, not the immigrants.
So, you stop immigration. And instead of letting our aging workforce retire, you increase the retirement age. Gotcha. Great solution. What happens after that? You've just delayed the problem. They're still going to retire.
Let's remove retirement altogether! Problem solved! /S
Yes, people work one year longer so that the younger generation of Canadians can afford to have houses, food, and children.
Oh wait the Liberal/NDP have already dealt with this by replacing Canadians with cheap third world labor and solving both the non-existent labor shortage and the problem of younger Canadians ever having a future.
