Get a better Premier.
Why should Ontario be obligated to be able to support half a million immigrants per year?
Elect provincial leadership that is willing to help advance our country forward.
Elect federal leadership that restricts immigration to a reasonable level
These are reasonable levels, so NO.
Over a million immigrants a year (bundling together actual immigration, international students, etc because they all take services, need housing and increase our carbon output) is reasonable?
Lol, no wonder this country is fucked
The country isn’t fucked. You dislike immigrants. It’s a YOU problem.
I have no issue with immgrants that we actually need, the problem is that we don’t actually need the vast majority of them. We need people like doctors and nurses, not unskilled labour like Tim Hortons workers
Wait, Ontario plans to build 1.5 million homes?
Although, the second they mentioned the 10 year period I felt that someone in the middle of the project will likely get bored and drop the entire idea.
They want to make 1.5 million single family homes “to attack the housing crisis”.
The most expensive type of home.
Why are they so averse to the idea of taller building with flats? Single family homes aren’t going to work for so many people, I wonder just what prompts these people to try ridiculous ideas instead of what our renters need
Since they’re so expensive, Ford’s developer donors make more money off single-family homes than anything affordable.
Exactly this. Doug Ford could do better, but serving the fascist donors and is more beneficial for him personally. We need to elect NDP/Liberal Premiers in this country.
Is it feasible to expect the Canadian government to start building high density government housing in the next 15 years?
To expect them to without a cultural shift to make the government not drag ass? Not in your lifetime.
Besides we haven’t paid a consultation firm several dozen million over a period of a decade to get an answer the developers want to hear.
Rent is theft.
Until about 30 years ago the federal government used to build public housing, so given the right government I don’t see why not.
I’m not sure any province can. That’s one of the reasons rational people think the proposed numbers are insane. But immigrants will be bought and paid for voters, and they will supposedly help offset the tax-load needed to fund programs that provide for the aging boomer population.
Nevermind the houses/units we will need. Nevermind the aging parents those people may bring with them. Nevermind the wage stagnation, cultural conflicts, or lack of infrastructure.
Let’s keep this ponzi scheme going as long as possible. Screw sustainability.
capitalism requires growth, and canadians aren’t popping out enough kids
