There's no such thing as affordable housing anymore

[@jozefpszczoa3402]

How many hospitals school we need for 500000 immigration not only housing.

[@ssjgogetta]

They're "fixing" the problems they caused.

[@serinawagner8480]

As Minister tim Huston says "fix is a relative"word😅

[@Rickristian]

....oh wait....I thought thing would balance themselves....

[@Rickristian]

It wont make any difference. Homes can never be affordable again.

[@ThatWanderingNomad]

New Detached homes costing 1.2 million in Toronto isn't going to help even townhouses are 850-1 million range.

[@BS_HORSEPOO-L]

Whatever you do don't ban phones on school property or the kids won't be able to find it.

[@Jenna-Tailya]

Our household was short of money but since we cancelled our Disney + we are rolling in the money

[@RolanRoyce]

On the federal land leases for home builders, it would all have to be rentals, because who would buy a house with a land lease? Also, what if the developers default on the rent? This seems like a desperate and hare-brained scheme.

[@Rickristian]

Since low income folks, young folks and just about everyone cant afford a house, the priority in this gov. venture must, repeat, must be for appartment buildings.

[@user-mh2ys8gn4d]

Just ban phones in schools period

Showing results for population of immigrants to canada Search instead for population of migrants to cananada eight million immigrants Currently, annual immigration in Canada amounts to almost 500,000 new immigrants - one of the highest rates per population of any country in the world. As of 2023, there were more than eight million immigrants with permanent residence living in Canada - roughly 20 percent of the total Canadian population.Jul 3, 2024

[@vjones975]

yet many Canadian citizens lost homes to fires and existing homeless population wait listed for housing for many years due to housing shortage

Pride makes me feel uncomfortable 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@tracieshort6734]

Put the cell phones in a wall pocket hanger, not a big deal. If parents need to get in touch with their kids, they'll call the office. These teachers are being ridiculous. If a school is asking for funding to counteract the lack of cell phone use, they are clearly taking advantage and wasting tax dollars. This is nothing but the latest union's excuse for more public funding. Just stop already.

[@dylanbishop1940]

Gross

[@alihal-zn9rq]

Nevermind trying to take their phones away. If you guys are gonna do that then make sure you do something about the unprofessional, unhealthy, racist "teachers" as well.

[@kylemahon3586]

Make them affordable meet heads not 500 000 dollar homes

[@captiandarwin]

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[@cuteangelsongs.w1113zuch]

🤭 может им что-нибудь нужно? 😂

[@robertfournier7050]

Rail workers are cutting themselves off when they continue to be stubborn about any agreement. Not a wise decision.

[@PastaEngineer]

Im for it. Just selling the land means more landlords and investors buying it

[@grandmufftwerkin9037]

You will own nothing, and be happy. 🙃

[@bvictoria6605]

BLACKROCK is buying up land in their efforts to become the world's biggest landlord!

[@PastaEngineer]

@@grandmufftwerkin9037 I already do own nothing. Thanks to the landlords in my area. I'm paying rent greater than the cost of his mortgage. I can't outbid someone buying a home against someone who has 6 other homes to use as collateral for a loan. Adding a ton of housing supply for investors to buy just means he'll have 7 homes now and I'll still have none.
