    Airbnb is responsible too, at least there is something being done about that currently. But there are 2 million immigrants and foreign students. Aint that many airrbnbs. And property investors don't set the price, demand does.

    I voted for the guy in the turban last election. Always makes me chuckle when you mention immigration, and the Tru-anon crowd labels you right wing.

    You're either living in Thailand and are out of touch, or are living in rural or semi rural Canada where the housing crisis isn't felt as much as urban areas. Paint your rosy picture of Canada under Trudeau if you want, but the majority of Canadians will disagree with you.

    Thank you, Mike.. that is what they do which makes it hard for me to post and even be included. I had a few people tell me they won't bother replying to me because of their constant harassment.

    Yes, you are right in that my niece is having a hard time getting a job in retail or anywhere else because a lot of them are owned and managed by immigrants now. They seem to want to hire other immigrants. She is in a smaller city, so it could be worse in bigger cities.

    I think it depends on the city you are in, but for the smallish (45,000 pop) city she is in, a few rich Indians and Pakistanis have bought out a lot of places, and hire immigrants. Also, most fast food restaurants have mostly immigrants working in them.

    yeah, I jumped to right wing too fast there sorry.

    I am tired of the Federal libs being blamed for everything but some of it is justified. Our bigger problems (I believe) are the con premiers. Moe, Ford and Alberta witch selling off everything. Coming from Sask and being a Tommy Douglas fan this privatizing healthcare is frustrating.

    Back in Thailand but still pay attention to the country that will send me pension.

    Im not sure what a tru-anon is but I used to go to AA, we never talked politics though.

    Smart practice. Talking politics will drive a sane man to drinking.

    Too young to vote back then but dad and mom were staunch supporters. The right sort of socialism is pretty damn good.

    The Tru-anon crowd are Trudeau supporters that are as deluded as the Q-anon wing nuts. They follow his dog whistles and believe everyone who disagrees with him are far right. Especially when you mention immigration, blindly ignoring the fact that that some of the people that suffer the most from the hyper immigration caused housing crisis are in fact immigrants themselves.

    I'm originally from Sask too, and don't support privatizing healthcare.

    "The Tru-anon crowd are Trudeau supporters that are as deluded as the Q-anon wing nuts."

    QAnon is a far-right American political conspiracy theory and political movement which originated in 2017.

    ^ uses right wing MAGA vocabulary.

    "The Trudeau government has RUINED this country"

    whatever...

    I agree. Kind of turns a group of people into a society. Just wait till they start with UBI, going to be a lot of squawking over that issue.
