How To F*ck Up A Country

[@JasonRMJ]

It's not just that, even Canada's health care system is being strained to the brink from unchecked immigration. My Canadian friend died from an aneurysm, 2 weeks ago. He went to the hospital to get himself checked up for a health scare he thought he had a heart attack. The doctor was dismissive of his health scare that they didn't do a proper CT scan. He was sent back to the waiting room for SIX hours, until he gave up and left the hospital. He died hours later at his home from an aortic aneurysm. I'm still devastated by his passing.

Canadian living in California, I am .When I hear Americans talking about how absolutely wonderful the free healthcare in Canada is I take a deep breath and beginning educating them about the reality of Canada's health care. I have creditabilty because I have family and friends in Canada who have endured medical horror stories, like so many of us and I work for a major American Healthcare company. Canadian Healthcare has no baseline, services and competent care differ wildly. Canada Healthcare has failed on so many levels and continues to do so. It is a medical crisis that has been going on for decades. And now with the increase of immigrants, it is catastrophic. Canada doesn't understand infrastructure or preparing for the future, having a plan to meet the needs of the people and the ever changing demographics that the immigrants bring. It is crimminal how the politcans failed to do their due diligence. My heart goes out to all of you who have shared your stories and endured the heartache and loss of a loved because of political and professional incompetence .

the labor shortage is false, most employers with shortages are ones that offer unlivable wages so they can ship in more temporary workers to exploit instead of paying a market wage to fill those positions

Exactly what I just wrote. If you are a manufacturer, and missing certain positions; why not just take your other employees and tell them you train them for something else, and pay them more. Who will say no to that? Plus CAN has highly educated workforce. You can train a purple hair, nose ring, hipster barista, and train them to do just about anything.

[@lilpwnige]

I definitely believe a lot of industries and communities have labour shortages. The problem is they aren't the ones being serviced by immigration. When people move to Canada, they're moving mostly to Vancouver, Calgary, Montreal, and the GTA. These communities do not have shortages. If anything, they have massive surpluses (as seen by the hundreds of people lining up for a job at Timmys). Additionally theres a massive difference between a lot of the immigrants' credentials and what they're capable of doing. I interviewed someone from Punjab with a "masters" in computer science that couldn't code and ended up managing a Freedom Mobile store We have a shortage of tradespeople, what we don't have a shortage of is mobile phone kiosk employees.

One reason why there is resistance to building new housing is a fear that it will lower property values. Most Canadians are in a huge amount of debt, with property being the only asset of value many Canadians, including older Canadians, own. So a lot of voters are pretty resistant to support pro-development politicians, out of fear what an abundance of new housing could do to the value of the property they currently own, and thus their personal wealth and ability to long-term plan.

I can't adequately describe the *overwhelming* impact Trudeau's immigration policy has had on my community. I live in what is called a "designated settlement zone" which means a *very large* number of "new Canadians" are placed here. The nearest major city, which had a population of about 100,000 in 2016 is now pushing close to 200,000 people. All the outlying rural areas (where I live specifically) have also seen their populations surge - my home town going from 2,500 people to 5000 people in the last *four* years - with our counsel telling us that they've been ordered to "prepare for an expansion" of up to 20,000 people within the decade. At counsel meetings they tell us they haven no choice. They are told by the province who is told by the federal government: "these are the numbers you need to meet." How does this affect us? The larger city is almost unrecognizable in places. Entire stores such as Tim Horton's, Subway, WalMart, or Home Depot are seemingly owned and run by new Canadians. I have students who were fired from their jobs at such locations due to "restructuring" after they were bought by new owners, only to find they'd been replaced by "new Canadians." Language barriers are everywhere. Traffic is awful. Healthcare is suffering due to overwhelming numbers. Crime has increased : domestic violence, traffic offenses, sexual assaults, and - oddly, a high number of extortion rackets running where "new Canadians" are taking advantage of other "new Canadians." Housing is in such short supply that the prices have more than *doubled* here. Our economy is completely different with restaurants closing down and turning into completely different business catering to "new Canadians." We've had a movie theater that had operated for over 30 years close down after new management bought it and only played Bollywood films. I could go on and on. *NONE OF US ASKED FOR THIS.* We were fine with our small population on a massive land mass. We didn't want it and when we saw what was happened and asked questions - the Liberals lied and said it wasn't happening (and accused us all of bigotry in the process). I don't even recognize the place I grew up. How was any of this supposed to make our lives *better?*

I’m a Brazilian who worked in Montreal for a few years as an engineer. As a former immigrant, I think I had some insights that made me see this issue a little clearer. I believe that if your labour market has a legitimate shortage of skilled labour, immigration can definitely help with the issue, but as we’ve seen, that’s not what’s currently happening in Canada. I think that with the recent uptick in immigration, employers got a taste of a labor market that’s willing to die for wages way below what a native Canadian considers decent. What you consider a “shit salary” is something that an average Brazilian tradesman would consider a salary to die for. Now you have this clash between employers looking for cheap labour and the local workforce just looking for an average job to maintain a decent lifestyle. Canada took an immigration system that helped with internal issues and transformed it into a system that creates new ones.

Hey OBF, Canadian here. Municipalities are actually creatures of provinces, and that means that ultimately, the provinces have complete control over their cities and can overrule any decision that is made locally. This can be seen very painfully with Doug Ford's Ontario administration blocking some proposed re-zoning laws in Mississauga because it would "diminish Mississauga's character" (the city itself is primarily single family homes). It's important to note that, despite many municipalities' best efforts to change these laws, we have provinces who are resistant to them and who ultimately control and overrule all of these changes. Ontario in particular struggles with its outlying suburban majorities making decisions for its urban cores (i.e. in the cases of Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Sudbury etc).

Biggest issue is that most Canadian households have all their value tied up in their homes. Any effort to build more homes means the existing ones become worth "less on paper" which owners don't want. This leads to extremely high rent, usually higher than a mortgage so younger people can never actually get enough money for a downpayment to achieve the mortgage, leading to any open stock being bought up as rental properties by people who have the resources/money and don't already need a place to live. It's a vicious cycle that's been going on for decades but the ol' VID blew up the problem even more.

[@Sirrak]

Hey Oliver, I live in Western Canada, a city close to Vancouver. I can tell you from experience that one of the reasons why municipalities are resistant to have so many people to take up a home into an apartment is just no infrastructure funds to help with the amount of people that are going to be living there. If you think a complex of 2 or more stories, and each apartment is about 2-4 people living there. There isn't a bus route, schools, local clinics or sidewalks to accommodate them. Local municipalities just doesn't have the money to do any of those upgrades at all. I fully agree with your video, and I hope they can do what Canada did in the early 80's til 90's, Federal Government just built social housing on their own :) this is me dreaming though.

[@FrostLight131]

I'm from the Toronto outskirts. You are 100% correct - the zonings have existed for so long that you can't just build on top of the land and expect infrastructures to magically appear. It takes years to upgrade the sewage, electricity grid, schools, hospitals, parks, and transits to accommodate for more residents. On top of this, NIMBYs whose entire fortune is tied towards their property don't want their property value to decrease if they allow more units to be built around them, and these NIMBYs happen to be the most vocal voters that can sway local elections of MPs, MPPs, and councilors. But coming back to infrastructure , it's more of a chicken and egg problem. New building permits are limited by current infrastructure , so no new buildings are allowed. Since no new buildings are being built, no new infrastructure upgrades are scheduled. The cycle continues and voila we got a housing crisis.

[@HannibalUvvU]

In the time you build houses you can upgrade/enlarge the schools. Also you can easily implement busses. Comparatively this is cheap easy and fast. On cost. Infrastructure cost goes down because fewer milage in pipes, electrical grid and roads can service the same amount of people. Also regarding the small clinics and small shops like bakeries. Those fit very well on the ground level of apartement building when those are on a connector road. No need for purity there.

[@chrisklugh]

But why build Social Housing for people that have yet to arrive here? I think we need to firm up our immigration standards. You'd be surprised how many of them come with their 3rd world living habits. It takes time, decades to learn and adapt to a culture. Open the doors without that and it stagnates everyone's else's standards. I'm not against immigration, it just needs to be a pace that does not disrupt the locals. And we should always be putting locals first. If your born in Canada, you should not have a harder time to get by then all the hand outs the Gov gives to people just getting off the plane.

As an American developer, I can tell you why multi family can be less attractive than single family from a development perspective. Single family projects involving one or more homes involve significantly less risk than building say 100 units in an apartment bldg. market risk can be a key risk but the main risk difference between the 2 is that a single family developer can stop in the middle of a larger single family project whereas a multi-family developer has to complete everything or nothing at all. There is no in between. Further… margins on single family homes can be greater than multi-family when delivering high end product. Ideally, consumers in North America (ie US and *ahem* the 51st state Canada) still prefer living in a single family home with its own backyard, etc. i can go on about other risk factors… but essentially… single family and multi family only share one thing… they are both residential but have significantly different risks

Why did it become a "bad thing" to even mention chilling out on immigration is probably a smart idea when our country is facing such a massive issue with unaffordable housing even for Canadian born citizens.. (it's actually a compassionate approach to all of this if you really think about it) The US, Canada, UK, Ireland, etc. are seeing CLEAR issues develop from this stuff. One of the biggest issues that's been occurring in these countries is the people who were born & raised there are deeply struggling to get by but no one is doing anything about it. While at the same time seeing that their nation is providing anyone who shows up from somewhere else with assistance & amenities. Where the people born & raised here get none of that treatment. In fact they get the complete opposite treatment. How do these governments think no stress will come from that? People are frustrated with how much they struggle to get by nowadays. BTW This is not about "racism" even tho politics & the media have been dead set on that narrative.. Our people have been multicultural forever.

The problem with the high density housing is a bit more nuanced. All of the utility lines, especially sewer, gas, and electrical, require extensive upgrades that developers wont pay for since it's part of the municipalities jurisdiction. So the taxpayers will be on the hook for massive infrastructure projects that jack up property taxes, which sucks for renters and home owners alike. There is also the issue with traffic as our roads were only designed for a certain amount of people. Deerfoot in Calgary is a prime example.

While Trudeau's attempts to right the ship with the $4B Housing Accelerator Fund and tighter immigration controls show awareness of the crisis, they feel like band-aids on a hemorrhaging wound. The fundamental disconnect between federal immigration policy and municipal housing control has created a perfect storm where millions struggle to afford basic shelter while skilled labor shortages persist. The fact that Toronto requires a $36.50/hr "rental wage" - more than double the minimum wage - isn't just a statistic, it's a damning indictment of policy failures. What's particularly frustrating is watching municipalities cling to outdated single-family zoning laws while their residents suffer. Anyone can make mistakes, but the systematic failure to close obvious loopholes in temporary resident programs while continuing aggressive immigration targets without corresponding housing infrastructure suggests a deeper problem of governance.

It’s not that it’s more profitable to be a luxury builder; it’s that it’s so expensive to build affordable housing that it doesn’t make sense to build it since you’ve already priced out the low income buyer profile who would typically buy it. Thus luxury builders become the only ones willing to buy land in these cities. The true problem is with the municipalities: outlawing multifamily housing, 2-4 year plan review cycles, and ridiculous architectural and land development guidelines which drive costs through the roof (e.g. requiring masonry facades, clay roof tiles, EV charging, windows on every room, etc).

So, some people just went to Vancouver, bought a suburb house that costs 300 000 for 1 milion, and got citizenship. They practically bought their way into the country.

I’m pretty sure they already passed laws curbing foreign investment in property and that loophole anyway

Wasn't it just Chinese people doing that?

There is a fundamental problem. Canadian government doesn't get to tell Canadian Municipalities what to do. Probably a constitutional problem. To change that you need enough votes, and plenty of votes are bought by people who benefit from the current laws. So nothing changes. Same issue in Australia, in Europe and plenty of other developed countries.

I just reached the top pay category for a teacher in Ontario. I can't get a mortgage. All of my pay goes to rent, my car and food. There's nothing left over.

Immigrants moving to Canada have to pass a language test?? Have you ordered a coffee at Tim Hortons lately??

[@queenofrandom2301]

That was probably in the past. Trudeau let anyone in to try to fake the gdp numbers. Now Timmies and McDonalds workers cannot take an order due to no English skills. Thanks NDP and liberals!

I did not understand the loophole. Foreign students are allowed to work. Employers are required to hire Canadians first, but there is no check on hiring based on nationalities, so they are free to hire anyone in the labour market, effectively causing "race to the bottom" wage dump. Absent checks and balances in processes which should be standardised, is NOT a loophole.
