Blacklocks: Housing starts will fall this year, CMHC forecasters said yesterday. Cabinet was counting on builders doubling the number of housing starts to meet its affordability target: “New construction is slowing.”
Juxtapose: Thousands of Canadians to start receiving invitations to apply to sponsor parents and grandparents
Next, they will hire a bunch of ‘consultants’ for a few millions/no-biggie to analyze why-oh-why housing is so expensive in Canada + come up with ideas what to do. This will buy them more time + they will be able to deflect (“It’s not our fault”).
“Affordable housing” does not exists.
It is the means of low life politicians to project how much they care.
They cannot change the cost of things, except of course, when they throw millions and millions of dollars at the projects. Once the projects are into use, they generally become slums.
The thing is, people don’t care about their housing, except when it is their own. Of course there are those that care, though they maybe out of luck with many of low life neighbors that will make their life miserable.
The only way to solve the problem is, to pause immigration for a number of years. Not likely to happen with the low life politicians in charge.
Rentals, even with government money aren’t really being built, because of laws that are hostile to landlords.
New builds have run into the problem that people aren’t buying them any more, except in certain communities which may be filled with bad paper.
and of course the current worst part is a lot of people are unable to close because the valuation of their new build is less than what they agreed to pay for it. No word yet on how much extra the banks are going to charge for their “declared valuation” loans.
Poopinder’s grandparents will come live in his basement, but get all the free health care we can afford.
Meanwhile, Canadian parents have kids living with them trying to save for a house that Poopinder’s brother, Ravi, is going to buy.
That is 100% bang-on correct.
Why are we letting in 3rd world parasites into this country to steal healthcare and benefits from Canadians ? It’s bad enough importing legions of minimum wage drive-thru workers whose taxes will never come close to funding the government benefits they use. But their worthless parents and grandparents who will never contribute a thin dime to pay for the huge healthcare they’ll assume as seniors?
P1ss. On. Them. Stay where you are.
Liberal concern: “But they need to be taken care of and we should do that”
Me: “I don’t give a sh1t. We don’t owe them anything, and they stay put. If their minimum wage progeny want to take care of them then they can pack their bags and GTHO and go back home to do just that. That way everyone’s better off, especially Canada”
It’s impossible to loathe liberals too much.
We need a real government to close the borders to all chain migration parasites and deport the recent ones back to their own countries. Once all the longer-term chain migrants die off and we keep the border closed, maybe things could turn around in this sorry country. You might even see an ER doctor is less than 4 hours.

In a related story … your PM’s blind trust money managers were likely smart like me and actually BOUGHT, BOUGHT, BOUGHT !!! The American Stock Market dip on … Trump’s Liberation Day. When his announced Tariffs were signed into effect. Yes, more RECORD market closes today. All time RCORD Nasdaq and S&P closes … again. After a slew of RECORD closes to the CORE of American businesses.
It’s almost as if your PM knew the April 1, 2025 Stock Market SELL OFF was a manufactured… FAKE event meant to make Investors HATE Trump … and “prove” Trump didn’t really “know business” let alone know what he was doing. It’s almost as if the Wall Street globalists knew how to tank the market … then rapidly recover all the value.
Hardest hurt? All the Public Pension Funds operated by leftist FOOLS and TOOLS who actually believed Trump was gonna Smoot-Hawley America into another Depression … cause they learned that in college … and sold off their holdings. But I don’t care, as they have been desperately buying back into the market and making me BIG BANK! But I’m not a money “expert” like they are. I don’t get paid $375k/yr by public pension funds to be an utter FOOL.
