What would you do if rent were 30-50% cheaper? What small businesses could you support? We live in a Canada where 53% of Canadians live paycheck-to-paycheck, and where the line for "middle class" is $33,000/year. Most Canadians struggle. Housing affordability builds prosperity.

[Canada Housing Crisis @rCanadaHousing]

Average rent in Canada is $1700/month, so it's no wonder we've seen so many Canadians join our movement for affordable, universal housing. Housing is a human right, something so many of our politicians seem to forget.

A national child care program with expanded access is great, one big question though, where are the child care workers going to live? How can they possibly afford to live in areas like Toronto and Vancouver? #HousingCrisis #Elxn44

@NarcityCanada Candlelight Vigil to Mourn The End of Housing Affordability in the GTA ... help promote this important event! https://t.co/FVH5zthBX9

What happens when you have a commission-based industry operating ENTIRELY in the dark? With zero transparency or accountability? You get realtors.

[Canada Housing Crisis @rCanadaHousing]

Housing needs to become an election issue. Though he's proposing nothing, and would do nothing differently, at least we can get attention on real policy fixes. And maybe they'll give us a lil policy, as a treat.

A month after Bank of Canada made the declaration that investors buy 1/5 homes in Canada and no one batted an eye (except for us, who've been repeating it nonstop) it's finally getting some coverage! https://t.co/sEsGgJRM4u

[Canada Housing Crisis @rCanadaHousing]

Let's try this thought experiment. Take 20% of homes and set them on fire. What happens to prices for the remaining homes?

Another idea, take in-progress construction and stop 20% of them from continuing. What happens?

[Canada Housing Crisis @rCanadaHousing]

"Further study" is code for "we know it's a problem but we're unwilling to do anything about it."

[Canada Housing Crisis @rCanadaHousing]

The Bank of Canada lies and deceives.

Months ago, they said the fact that 1/5 homes are bought by investors plays no role in home prices. Now they say this determining the "level at which investor activity should be a cause for concern is difficult and requires further study.”

Can the “China bad” Conservatives please remind me why on September 9 2012, the Harper government signed a Foreign Investment Promotion and Protection Agreement (FIPA) with China effectively locking Canada into a secret 31 year deal with the regime they now decry? #cdnpoli

@MichaelKramSK We also shouldn't be sending them our lumber and coal, only to buy it all back as goods we could have manufactured with Cdn manpower. Yet here we are.

@globalnews Trudeau - housing is too expensive.

Also Trudeau: I'm going to continue to flood Canadian cities with immigrants 🙄

Canada seeks to increase immigration over next three years even as pandemic rages on

@yeetyeetskrrskr @schtev69 @globalnews Excuse me, but maybe if housing wasn’t 12x the annual household income in the city where I work, Canadian women wouldn’t be delaying childbearing until their mid 30’s and therefore, able to have (and afford!) more children.

[John Pasalis @JohnPasalis]

Why might we see more Canadians move south of the border?

1⃣ More opportunities

2⃣ Lower Taxes

3⃣ Cheaper Homes

I suspect new immigrants will also be considering these same factors when deciding whether to move to Canada or the US

Rigged.

This is real life happening out in the field- today. @TOAdamVaughan @cafreeland @JustinTrudeau @AndreaHorwath @erinotoole Owners renovating the homes they've been renting out for years opting to sell and cash out in this superheated real estate market.

[Donna Bacher @loveurhome]

I listed a detached house for rent today. 2500/month. My phone's been blowing up. The last call from an agent whose client was renovicted- single mom, employed, with a 3,4,6 & 10-year-old. They're currently in a hotel room. She'll take it sight unseen & 6 months up front.

I will never #CancelCanadaDay out of respect for the Canadian soldiers who laid down their lives to save my family from the Nazis, and who opened the borders to refugees of war. But if y'all want to cancel the Catholic Church, I'll make signs.
