Canada hits all-time high for immigration
Here’s some good news for the Century Canada crowd; Canada welcomed 430,000 would-be Canadians to these shores from June to September. That’s over 140,000 per month!
Meanwhile, housing starts were bumping along at roughly 20,000 per.
You can shut down every Air B&B in the country and it won’t make a dent in the housing catastrophe the Ottawankers are creating for us. How the hell are we still on this path when everybody and anybody who knows anything about real estate has been waving red flags for years? Hilliard MacBeth wrote a book about it - eight friggin’ years ago!
But, let’s look on the bright side.
All our new Canadians are coming from places where they’re accustomed to far larger households than we are. Like double and up.
All those nattily attired Nigerians you saw crossing at Roxham Road with their designer luggage? They’re coming from a place where seven to ten under a roof is the norm.
Putting up one new build for every seven new Canadians sounds just about right!
