Last lived in TO in 2000. I paid $1200 for a two bedroom upstairs of a house, utilities included. Big kitchen, yard access, balcony, right in the middle of The Annex.
I can't watch all of that, not with them avoiding the topic and the truth.
Toronto has always been expensive, it's a drive in city for most people. Hamilton, Kitchener, Guelph and I'm sure farther.
It doesn't have a population problem, it has a tax problem. It's always been a tax problem but no one will say it. The politicians won't say it and the people won't say it.
You know all those things they promised you? It's paid for with TAXES. You know what keeps the government in jobs? It's TAXES.
YOU asked for it, they promised it, now you have to pay for it.
The lying that's going on is simple, immigration will solve the tax problem temporarily...at the cost of your country's identity and your politicians will long be dead when it doesn't. They will have lived a long and prosperous life, thanks to your TAXES.
But again, you asked for your TAXES. You got that free healthcare, you got that pension, you got that infrastructure, but so did everyone else that didn't pay the same rate as you or at all in many cases.
