Record population growth risks creating more housing issues in Canada…

Real Talk with Corbin | December 23, 2023 | written by Corbin Chivers

๐Ÿ”ด ๐ŸกIf you thought our Housing, Healthcare, and Education Crises couldn’t get any worse than worse than you’d unfortunately be wrong ๐Ÿ˜ฌ๐Ÿ˜…!

๐Ÿ”ด Last Week Statistics Canada reported Canada’s population had jumped 430,635 from July to Sept this year after reporting that our Nation had added 1,050,110 people just in 2022…the nations HIGHEST PERCENTAGE growth rate since 1957.

๐Ÿ”ด96% came from International Immigration
๐Ÿ”ธPR’s – 437,000
๐Ÿ”ธNon PR’s – 613,000

๐Ÿ”ด HIGHEST Immigration rate of any G7 Country

๐Ÿ”ด The Federal Government underย @justinpjtrudeauย says that we need all these immigrants to make up for the chronic shortage of skilled workers. They argue that without this high level of immigration, we won’t have enough domestic workers to fill these positions.

๐Ÿ”ด Is that true?

๐Ÿ”ด There is NO DOUBT that immigrants are needed to help fill shortages of labor in certain regions. And we should continue to embrace this sort of immigration, when needed… But do we NEED 1 MILLION per YEAR??

๐Ÿ”ด Consider the following:

๐Ÿ”ธ๐ŸกThe MASSIVE Housing Shortage is already a problem and our country has not produced NEARLY enough homes a year to keep up with our growing population, even today! At even the average of the past 5 yrs, 600k growth, we have still gotten WAY behind! Rents are up 11% this year alone and Mortgages have doubled and even tripled for many Canadians! The lack of homes being built is a major unresolved problem still!

๐Ÿ”ธ๐ŸฅOur DISINTEGRATING Healthcare system (currently writing this in Langley Memorial and its a 10.5 hour wait so far just to see someone and another 3 left!) it’s bursting at the seems. Someone DIED WAITING at Abbotsford Regional Hospital Emergency past week and there is approx 17,000 Canadians that DIED awaiting life saving Surgeries last year, just being on the WAITING LIST! Maybe they should hire back all the damn Healthcare professionals who didn’t get the JAB and stop stonewalling thousands of Immigrant Doctors from practicing here rather ๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„๐Ÿ™„!

๐Ÿ”ธ๐ŸซOur broken SCHOOL system is overwhelmed as it Is with overcrowded schools and large class sizes as the new norm!

Outta room!
