Canada Is Becoming a Dystopian Nightmare

Hi, its been awhile. You know, I rarely go on camera anymore, but this video has become quite personal to me, and I feel like the best way I can tell this story is through a more personal medium.
And this is the story of how canada has turned into a dystopian nightmare.
This is the city of waterloo in ontario. You can think of it as the silicon valley of canada. Blackberry’s headquarters were here. 2 well known universities are located within a about 2 kilometers of one another. And over there was where I used to live when I went to school in the area in 2016.
I had a 1 bedroom, 1 bathroom, 512 square foot apartment. The cost of rent? $900 a month including internet, electricity, and water.
However, earlier this year, I took a look that apartment that I lived in 7 years ago and saw that it was being rented out for about $2000 a month.
Essentially, the rent of this place had gone up 122% over the course of 7 years. An average increase in rent of about 17.4% per year for almost a decade. If you were to view this rental property as a rental income investment, it would be very comparable to the returns that ponzi schemes would see, like what Bernie Madoff was doing in New York before he was sentenced to 150 years in prison.
Except, this apartment isn’t apart of a ponzi scheme. Its just the new Canada.
You see, my one anecdotal story is not exactly an outlier for the average rental price in canada. In 2015, the average canadian paid $1172 in rent, and today, 8 years later, that number has jumped to $2289.
Essentially if you invested in the rental real estate market in 2015, you ended up walking into an investment return that outpaced the best returns from the largest hedge funds in the world.
And obviously, its not just rental prices that Canada has seen skyrocket, its the sale prices too.
In 2011, the average sale price of a house in canada was $348,000. 12 years later, prices have more than doubled to $709,000.
In Toronto, the average house went from $500,000 in 2013, all the way up to 1.3 million in 2023.
In fact, if you were to look at what a $200,000 gets you in other major cities like london england. You’ll see that you can get a pretty nice 2 bedroom apartment. But in toronto, $200,000 gets you…a parking space. You heard that right. Welcome to Canada. In fact, the average 1 bedroom, 500 square foot apartment in toronto is currently going for $550,000 canadian.
It is prices like these that have given toronto canada, the title of ‘the biggest housing bubble in the world’.
Now even though, toronto is canada’s largest city, it doesn’t represent all of canada. But this does.
The average monthly mortgage on a new home purchase in 2015 was about $1400. Today what do you think that number is? Is it up 50% in 7 years? 100%? Well let me tell you friends, if it was only 100%, that would've been great.
The average monthly mortgage on a new home purchase today is approaching $3500 in Canada.
And when you consider that the median household income after taxes brings in around $5000 a month, you can see why there is a mortgage crisis going on right now in the country as well.
But thats only just the surface of the story. I dug a little deeper to find out why this housing crisis was going on. And a key reason why there’s a housing crisis in Canada is because of a housing shortage.
One story that popped out to me was how there was a proposal to bring in 4,690 housing units in the city of Mississauga ontario, a city with about 825,000 people that has been hit especially hard by this housing crisis. The proposal was going to build a few high rises along with an entire neighborhood of townhomes and detached houses. However, the homeowners and the city council shot this proposal down citing things like not wanting to live in a congested area, or a construction site for a few years, and also, having too many shadows cast upon the surrounding area.
And to be honest, I understand where this thought process was coming from. If i’d spent my life savings to buy a house in a more quiet neighborhood, I wouldnt want it to turn into a congested and noisy nightmare either. But this was just one example of many rejections that would having helped fixed canadas housing shortage.

A change in government won't fix the problem immediately... but maybe just maybe it'll get the ball rolling... Not very optimistic though, dreams of home ownership went out the door as soon as the plandemic happened and the goal post is moved everyday. All too much of a coincidence IMO. Sorry we have to suffer through all of this my Canadian brothers and sisters. We are wayyy too nice compared to other nations...WAY to nice and complacent.

I am the first of the entire generation to venture to foreign lands to attempt to make a better living. Went to college and studied marketing, I did. Took me some years, as I had to finish my military service inbetween. Now I am realising we immigrants are here to compensate for quickpy diminishing Canadian population and fill up the most basic jobs that cannot sustain or even begin to afford a better life. Affording a house is as difficult as it is in Korea, if not more difficult. But I am ashamed to return or give up, as everyone is waiting for me to return with good news.

As long as you direct you anger in the correct direction with knowledge of the real events that led to this The problem that are occuring today are the result of what started back in the late 2000s. The 'Conservative' Harper government eliminated all the Canadian boards for food, grains, resources adn had a war against worker unions. Harper and cohorst then allow massive foreign ownership of everything. Homes, properties, resources. Who now controls the beef industry - Brazi. Pork - China. Grain - Saudi Arabia. Oil & Gas and mining - USA. Inteligence adn security - the USA and Israel. Housing and property - the rest of the world. Harper and cohorts sold Canada off. And then they let the sleazy evangelicals in. Traitors, all of them. Now Canadians can't afford anything and can't control our destiny. Because Canada is not in control of Canada. Billions are being given to Ukraine. Who started the involvement in Ukraine - Harper and the conservatives in 2009, they started funding weapons and training in Ukraine. Don't misunderstand, Trudeau has done nothing to stop the situation. But Harper started it. He and his cabinet needs to be put on trial for treason. And anyone who think Poilievre will do anything, he will be worse than Trudeau. What has that lazy entitled life time politician Poilievre actually ever done than whine, complain and deflect.

I see a lot of people coming here for work, and deciding about a year later to go somewhere else. A friend of mine from Iran basically said that her husband was pushing for them to move back to somewhere around the Arabian Gulf. He had only just been in Canada for around a year before he thought the whole thing was a giant tax scam. She had waited 2 years for him to be able to move to be with her and their kids. Both she and her husband hold PhDs, her in molecular biology and him in management and finance. Honestly, I see his point. I also live in Calgary where things are bad, but they aren't nearly as bad as out East. It is possible for the economy to recover, but the massive government overreach? That's a way bigger problem. Trudeau is an idiot despot and the coalition he has formed has barreled through many regulations and ideas that make absolutely no sense. At one time it was a coin toss for me whether I'd vote for the Liberals or Conservatives, and I had to look at the issues to figure out who was a better option. Now, I don't trust any of them. I worry Pierre Poilievre just gives a lot of good sound bites. The NDP are a bunch of pinko-commies and the People's Party is lost in some libertarian fantasy land. The Green Party are what they've always been, laughable. If the Marijuana Party wants to make a comeback, maybe they can manage this better. Perhaps a government that's as baked as a Bob Marley tribute concert will be too chilled out to exercise all of these unreasonable government powers they've accrued.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

Face it -- you're a disgruntled right winger. You are pissed off because your party keeps losing elections (federally). Now you''re disgruntled about your favourite party too. You will vote for Poilievre, that's obvious. Maybe he will even win the election! Your "lack of trust" is just bellyaching, the whining of a right wing snowflake. Gee, it's terrible in Canada! We have a "despot" ruling over us who doesn't even try to stop you from calling him names. Most despots do NOT allow that. The NDP regularly attracts millions of votes from Canadians -- just look at what happened yesterday in Manitoba. If the NDP is pinko-commie,so are millions of Canadians who vote for it. Can you stop the whining for just a little while and suggest something positive for a change? Or is that too much to ask?

There is a housing problem in the US too. Also about the same level of inflation. Is Trudeau to blame for that too? "Deficit spending" does not cause house prices to rise. If the borrowed money is spent to build housing, deficit spending can reduce the price of houses. People do not live in tents because of deficit spending. They live in tents because of the gross inequality in wealth, in which a few people have excessive wealth, while many people have none, or are in debt. Poilievre is repeating the same old, old Conservative "fiscal restraint" line, dressing it up by pretending he cares about the poor.

[@marblox9300]

+hmfoden Just as in the U.S. I believe ALL real estate should be owner occupied by law. That would stop investors from buying it all up and thus creating a shortage which drives up prices.

You mean nobody would be allowed to rent land to another person? What nonsense. If you want to stop foreigners from buying land, make a law that says "Foreigners may not own land within our borders." OR, impose conditions on foreign buyers of land that make it unattractive for them to buy. My solution would be to make all land the property of the People, as in the old days it was the property of the King. Land would be occupied and used according to the will of the People, as stated in laws made by the People.

Yet some people will not hear of it because they think it is a conspiracy theory, not realising that the UN migration compact was signed in 2018, Canada is on board with the UN s sustainable development goals, Canada will be signing the WHO s pandemic treaty, and as Klaus has publicly stated, they "have penetrated more than half of the Canadian cabinet". Surely if our government reports to people other than Canadians they are engaging in treason? Even saying anything about the NWO is subject to scrutiny despite evidence into how many US presidents have talked about it publicly, still falls on deaf ears.

Its crazy to me that my father was able to build a house, buy 350 acres of land by age 20ish and get somewhat rich without an education. He own 2 trucks, one car, some construction vehicles had horses and other animals to care for his whole life, was able to buy a second house and sell it later. Meanwhile, I'm 37 and don't own a house, have an education I had to pay for a long time, a job that pay just okay, barely any savings, no vehicles. I've seriously been thinking of moving out of Canada for a few years now. I hate the cost of living, the government. I don't like living here at all.

[@markferguson7563]

Nearly every negative nuance that Jack expresses is a parallel scenario here in the major 6 cities of Australia and, increasingly so in regional areas. The irreparable crux of these issues in both Canada and Australia are exceptionally high migrant intakes. But due to only having a peripheral knowledge of just how excessive Canada’s migrant intakes are I will concentrate on Australia’s. Since the country’s borders were reopened on Nov 3, 2021, there has been a net-increase of the population that’s approximately 750,000 featherless bipeds. Of that number, a STAGGERING 350,000 - about 47% of the total - are people who have gained admission into the country on student related visas. Of course, large intakes of foreign students (classified as being temporary immigrants) are something that Canadians are au fait with, too. Here in Oz, since Jan 2014, so huge has the intake of foreign students been that they are now the ‘COLLECTIVE’ majorities, of 11 of the county’s top 14 universities. But apart from them dispossessing Australians from places in unis their own country they have also dispossessed Australians from acquiring properties to rent. Moreover, the 950,000 international students presently in Australia are the nub of why rents in Sydney and Melbourne are between 20 to 30 percent higher than they should be. Meanwhile, the intrinsic reason why property prices are duly exorbitant here is because of excessive levels of immigration - either temps or permanents. Reputable economists estimate that, for every 100,000 permanent immigrants that arrive in Australia increase the value of a property by 2 percent. Succinctly, governments in Australia and Canada (at the federal, and state/provincial levels), are ALL COMMITTED to large scale immigration programs as the intrinsic means (a Ponzi Scheme) to propel economic growth. This train-of-thinking to all of the rabid economic rationalists is that mass-immigration engenders relentless consumption - therefore, increasing wealth. Alas, the great negatives with immigration into Western nations, over the past 25 years (Jack raises this at the 11 minute and 20 second point), exist with the sociological detriments these from diverse cultures and religions spawn. Quite simply, the influx of these groups has been so immense that they are no longer just significant parts of communities in Canada and Australia and, moreover, Britain, that they’ve totally usurped the predecessors. Their numbers are now so immense in an array of areas that they are the re-colonists.

There have been food banks in Canada since the 1980s. They are now part of the food system, catering to the poor. Supermarkets cater to the middle class; and there are specialty stores that cater to the rich. That's the way it's been for 40 years or more.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

I was on the Food Policy Council of the Toronto Board of health for some years back int he 90s. The problem was just as bad then. Some "middle class people" have always been driven to use food banks, often to get through a period of unemployment or other difficulty. The food banks are a way of upholding the current food system, based on a few major retail chains. The food banks are an outlet for their unsold goods, and a way to provide basic foods to people who don't have enough money to shop in the major chains. The fact that food banks are in the forefront of raising the issue of food insecurity for millions of Canadians and calling for solutions is great, but their function is to uphold the existing system. Whether the supermarket chains are gouging their customers or not, they are certainly in a good position to do so, and it seems their profits have gone up in the past few years. The logical conclusion is that they are gouging, but they deny it. I'm glad Jagmeet Singh keeps pushing on this issue.

You'd like this comment I made above.. Don't vote for Klaus's boy - Prime Minster Woke next time. Seriously have you seen that picture of Trudeau with old Klaus at the WEF. The old guy and the directionless young "boy" who found a father figure that would finally give him some self-respect as a "male". Certainly, Trudeau was directionless in his earlier life having funked out of engineering school, dropped out of grad school, and being forced to resign from his teaching post. It's a classic setup - it's as old as youth gangs, religion and the miliary - give a directionless male self-respect and they'll do anything for you, (even mess up a country) because my "all knowing father" says it's the right thing to do and it's how I gain virtue as a male in his eyes. The way Trudeau acts - his lack of direction as a young man, his feminist orientation, his propensity for costuming, his over emotionalization in public and appealing to the feeling mind rather than the analytical mind, his choice of English rather than a STEM major, even his hair and youthful face suggest he's a bit short on a masculine persona that old Klaus could fix...

He managed to destroy California in no time. There’s a mass exodus away from California due to his dystopian way of ruling the state. Instead of trying to fix the problem, this dumbnut is attempting to solve the exodus by trying to implement a 10 year exit tax, whereby those leaving the state will have to continue pay taxes to CA for 10 years, while simultaneously paying taxes in the state they moved to. In a way forcing CA residents to stay in CA due to the financial burden would be impossible to manage. What used to be one of the most attractive states in the US, is now a dystopian nightmare that just is getting gradually worse. North America is need of cleansing. Vote for candidates that can achieve this. If you continue to vote for these guys, we’ll then you know what to expect. Klaus is as close the Bond villain Blofeld as can get, evil personified.

[@ramsaybolton9151]

@@LeeZaslofsky This is not a consequence of capitalism by itself. The problem is the governments over regulation of the market so now we have too many vested interests between some capitalists and government. If people could legally go build tiny homes on wheel and live in them or settle on crown land then the sellers would have less ability to bully people into paying them. It's basically illegal to be homeless in Canada. The sales tax and import duties are so high that many business wouldn't even sell to Canadians if they didn't also bump the prices up to an insane degree. You can't buy foreign cars here unless they are 20 years old. We have big fees on shipping electronics here.

[@LeeZaslofsky]

So the problem is never capitalism, always "the government". That is the song you were taught by the corporate sector, and you sure do know the words by heart. The vested interests are not the result of government regulation. There was hardly any such regulation in Teddy Roosevelt's day, but he fought against the vested interests. There was hardly any government regulation in Franklin Roosevelt's day, but he took on the corporate bosses, who called him a "communist". Maybe you think America was better off during the "Gilded Age", when the Big Fortunes were made by Carnegie, Rockefeller, J P Morgan, and other Tycoons, and the workers were beaten of shot or hanged when they dared to demand living wages. If the two Roosevelts and other presidents and leaders had NOT regulated the economy, the vested interests would have simply bought the government and run it in their own interests,and the hell with the People and Democracy. But the corporate bosses never accepted the "interference" of the government, and created an entire political ideology to push back against the governments elected by the People. By linking up with racism in the South, the Republicans made an alliance between the corporate sector and the segregationists (now called "anti-woke") that gave Reagan the presidency, on an anti regulation platform combined with "states' rights", the old Southern name for anti Black racism. That's when your ideology became the standard ideology of the Republican Party, which has now degenerated into rampant racism, corruption and fascism. They even have a ready made dictator to shove into the White House "by hook or by crook" (or by violent insurrection). No, it's not government regulation that produces "vested interests". It's unbridled capitalism,released from sensible, necessary regulation, that runs rampant over the People, using racism to divide and rule us.

[@ramsaybolton9151]

@@LeeZaslofsky Capitalism is an economic system, not a governing system. The government will always pick favorite corporations because they boost the GDP of the country and will make politicians rich as well. Another reason some pick these favorite corporations is because they will stabilize the economies through monopolistic force. The American presidents you mention were all part of the fall of the American ideal. They were the start of the socialization of the country. Pretty much all of them were progressive socialists that were seeking to remove individual power and put the government into the role of caretaker for the citizens. We go from an average self employment of 92% in 1900 to less than 10% today which is even worse than you realize because a much smaller % of the population is in the working population than in 1900. It's only 15 million Americans that are self employed today. This is mostly because of government aid to big corps as well as costly insurance, regulatory practice and the snowball effect of government contracts going to big business. Once the big business has had enough of a snowball they can start to price cut at a loss to try and starve out competition and force the competition to sell or join. The government wants massive industries so they can more easily direction the future. It's a lot easier to force technology adoptions and hit quotas when you have a handful of energy, agriculture and tech conglomerates. It's a lot easier to tax workers when they mostly work at a few massive companies. Look how easy that's make automatically taxing citizens in some European countries. This is all done while corporations have legally accepted practices to dramatically reduce tax burden while the working class don't. The other reality is that government loves big business because it can do things that the government can't ( violation of constitution) through suggestion or nudging them, after all they're private businesses! I should also add another reason for the decrease in self employment vs employment is that banks( which are not really private when you consider how they are accredited, monitored and regulated by the government) started to give out mortgage loans for the employed and not the self employed. This lead to a rapidly increasing cost of housing in the same way school loans led to a rapidly increasing cost of college and university. Whenever you can easily get a loan the sellers will increase the costs of goods because they'll calculate credit into your spending ceiling.

This would be bad enough if it was just our farm in trouble, but it is almost every farm that is not under supply management (and it's not that they haven't also been hit hard, there is just a system in place to match income to cost of production). Our input costs have soared and we have had to put prices up which has reduced sales (I can only guess that is because more food is being imported). We grow fresh vegetables and our labour cost has risen from about 45% of gross four years ago to 60%+ this year, minimum wage is up 39% since 2018!! I will be the first to say that my employees deserve a good wage, but there is no way we can recoup this cost! Next year they may all be unemployed.

Almost any politician in the US would say that increases in crime, homelessness. and drug abuse are directly linked to increases in the price of a mortgage, lack of housing, increases in cost of living, emigrants bringing drugs like fentanyl into the country, and bad taxes on hard-working middle class families just trying pay their bills every month.

You forgot to add that Canadians make around 30% less than the average American. You could make an entire video comparing communities along the border as the closest apples-to-apples market comparison.

[@alainmona268]

Canadians make way less than 30%. The American dollar alone is 30% higher, income tax in the states is 15-25% for the average income compared to 30-40% for Canadians. Then we get taxed again GST/HST at 13-15% whereas the states even somewhere like New York has a 8% tax and Florida has a 5% tax.

And yet the average person is better off in Canada than in the USA. When you include all taxes and the additional health care costs, Americans typically take home a smaller percentage of their earnings.

@@danielindrigo7992 I’ve lived in Canada and the US, you’re full of shit. You can get a basic insurance plan for 15-20$ a month that covers most if not all expenses. You just gotta do your research and find the best plan that covers your needs. Most people complain about health care costs are the ones who don’t get complete coverage and bitch about it on the news which leads to sensationalizing the content to get reactions and clicks. Canadas health care is more costly waiting 25hrs in an emergency room and potentially dying, waiting 1 year to see a specialist even for patients recovering from surgery or cancers, no access to basic general practitioners or family doctors since they’re in massive demand, doctors and nurses LEAVING to the states cause the pay, stress, and quality of life is destroying their health.

Grew up in Canada, moved to the US in 2000. Loved it (as a young adult), the fact that it was similar in culture, but cheaper. Moved back to Canada a few years later and felt that Canada had changed a bit, but nothing too bad. Moved to the US again in 2012, got a green card (on track for US citizenship), and have a family now... Moving down when I did was one of the best decisions I've ever made. Canada is almost unrecognizable today (late 2023) vs the place I grew up in. I would dread for my kids to grow up there (as it is). :( #IAMCanadian

Great summary. Like others have said, the country is a total mess. I came here in 1976 with my parents. My dad made $25/hr in the 80's when a decent house in Niagara was $125-$150k. Through hard work my parents were able to attain their dream. Unfortunatley, in 1988, free trade came into being and all the middle class manufacturing jobs dried up. 2 of the 3 GM plants closed. That was the beginning of the erosion of the middle class here. Im 52 now, i finally got into a stable job paying $30/hr five years ago but its too late for me. By the time there was enough money for a down payment, covid happened and the price of houses here doubled. The dream of owning a home here is shattered. You can barely buy a war time shack for $600k here now. And honestly, why be mortgage poor just to own a home? What kind of a life is that. Its great for those that already own but impossible for anyone else. The line has been drawn. You made it or you didnt. The ladder has been broken. Im dusgusted with the lack of leadership and greed with our political and private business elites. This is not the country I grew up in anymore.

Not only does the immigration situation mean demand is so much higher than it otherwise would be but in my experience it is primarily from places where the prevailing attitude is that the people are just happy to finally be in a developed country, with things like relatively functional courts/justice system and healthcare. I work with volunteers, many of whom are newcomers from places like the Philippines, India or Kenya. To them even living with 4-5 roommates (naturally, from their own home country) is not only totally fine, but is still seen as living the dream. This is something that is going to affect the way people vote, if only a certain more established variety of citizen has a problem with these trends then at some tipping point they will be in the minority, and any democratic solution seems unlikely. This won't happen next week or next year mind you, just the immigration thing comes with an additional issue other than simple numbers. tl;dr, to people coming from certain places around the world, even a Canada in perpetual decline is a pretty good deal, and that's unfortunate for the rest of us.

The U.S. is quickly following Canada's lead in this pattern. The main culprit is the private investment trend. Groups are investing with regular returns that are payable monthly. No one, however, is noticing the ethics behind their investments. These massive surges in investments are not building homes for sale. They are empowering conglomerates to cash purchase real estate and to build at epidemic levels for over inflated rent. This lucky gold pot is rapidly costing us all precious housing. We are headed in the very same direction. 😔

I respectfully disagree Danielle. The U.S. is in far better shape in just about every category compared to Canada. Canada is in the worst shape out of the Western countries BY FAR. Once the global recession/depression is over, Australia will come back strong. The UK will be about the same as they are today. The U.S. will be more powerful. Canada will have a dismal future. The U.S. was propping Canada up for over 60 years and that's over now for the most part. Orange Donald dropped Canada for a new trade relationship with Mexico (which will be much more successful) and Canada lost all their goodies and freebies. Biden refused to change it, but you won't hear that in the media. It's over for Canada. EDIT: Biden held strong on ALL of Trump's new trade deals. He refused to change any of it with any country. Look into it it's true.
