So they room with like 6 other people in order to afford rent. And then we wonder why the virus continues to spread during lockdowns in Brampton and ghettoized parts of Toronto like Scarborough. lmao.
Lack of affordable housing is one of the top 2 biggest problems in Canadian urban metros like the Greater Toronto Area. The other is Canadian jobs being lost to outsourcing, automation and excessive regulation of the economy.
Then stick them with the bill for previous generations' long largess and avarice when you're old, enfeebled and entrusting your care to them. What could go wrong indeed.
I work in one of the highest paid trades in the country and I am struggling to find a affordable house with my SO. we can't compete with foreign money giving 100k over asking firm offers on houses that are fixer upper 2 bed one bath in the GTA. Its bullshit.
Bro, my wife and I are lawyers. Are combined income is well over 250, and we barely get by. Taxes, rent, food, law school loans is over 80% of my income.
My immigrant janitor parents bought a home for 150k in 1990 that's now worth 1.4 million. It's hard to see how people are able to afford homes these days starting with nothing.
Yeah my dad is a European immigrant and he was making almost $7,000/month working a skilled trade. And this was back when housing and rent was way cheaper. A lot of browns and blacks have never seen a Canada like that. Unless they have lived in Canada for like 25+ years. If you're not a young urban professional, the GTA is a shit hole now.
I dated a hot brown girl (whose family came from Guyana. Her ancestors were Indian coolies brought to Guyana as indentured servants) whose dad was an engineer working in Canada clearing six figures. But he came here in 1995. He immigrated from Guyana to the United States in the 80s, my then-gf was born in Brooklyn and she is an American citizen and then they immigrated to Canada when she was a toddler. Good luck getting an engineer job in the USA or Canada straight out of Guyana or India in 2020. We had a recession in 1995 and yet immigrants could actually get skilled jobs fresh off the boat then.
I remember in the early 2000s when I was a kid my neighbour was a youngish Mexican engineer that moved here and got a good job at a popular engineering company. The company was paying for his masters at UofT. He had a Canadian wife and they just bought the house next door and moved in and had a kid. They moved out 5 years later to a nicer house. Something tells me the same couldn't happen today.

Funny how we allegedly owe the entire world a high standard of living, so by all means, stuff them in as fast as possible!
Exactly, bring in low iq inbreds with 9 children! What could go wrong?

Unfortunately I love my job and it's in my best interest to stay where the majority of vertical people movers are.

I'm in my mid 30s, and the change over the last 10-15 years is remarkable. I can see how the 21 year olds don't understand though.
