      Yes exactly here in the gta and Canada in general the more you are a fuk up the more they will cover your ass....first it was the 2020 6 month mortgage vacation then they saw 1% interest rates....funny not 1 complaint when they saw the equity jump 1million in 24 months....then it was the liberals investigating then ignoring the high volume mortgage fraud then Ford refused to reverse his changes to rent freeze then when 40% stopped paying the mortgage the banks offered then unprecedented amortization extensions of 40 years....btw those 40 year amortization products are not approved for use in canada the banks went rogue on that one...I hope this hole thing explodes

    lol. Canadians need to thank the "investors" for all the rental supply that simply wouldn't be there without them. Is this guy nuts? Does he think that people don't actually BUY condos? The reason people can't buy them is because the "investors" go and buy everything and stand in line to get a condo so they can flip it. If these "investors" weren't out there speculating, normal people could actually buy a condo. These "investors" and speculators are the ones who have made prices go sky high. The poor things, I feel so bad for them.

    Housing Crisis = National Security Crisis
    The housing crisis in Canada should be categorized as “Canada's National Security Crisis” and be handled as “National Security Priorities” by all 3 levels of governmental agencies.
    The so-called Real Estate Foreign Investors have attacked the Canadian real estate markets and terrorized Canadians for the past 2 decades and brought the country to its knees with no end to the housing crisis in sight.
    Unfortunately, the BoC by creating cheap money in the forms of credits and mortgages has directly caused this economic mess followed by the housing Crisis in Canada which has become a National Security Nightmare for the country.
    The so-called non-resident foreign investors should be banned forever to enter the Canadian real estate markets and those foreign investors who have already owned properties in Canada must pay higher taxes.

    The high real estate prices have directly contributed to runaway inflation in the country for the past 2 decades and have left more than 2 trillion dollars of household debts and millions of young generations of Canadians homeless with no hope to own a home in their lifetime.
    The tent cities have been sprawling all across the country and all these contributed to civil unrest, crimes, labor disputes, riots, break up of families, frustration, and anger among people.
    With growing risks of a Global Geopolitical Crisis on the horizon and Canada's military involvement in NATO, the Global Energy Crisis will have a direct effect on Canada's Social, Economy & Political infrastructure.
    The June 08 rate hike by BoC was the direct result of the coming global geopolitical crisis and the housing crisis will be Canada's "Achilles Heels".
    Be prepared for HIGH INFLATION and HIGHER RATES in the coming months and years!
    The expected housing correction (collapse) will be happening sooner rather than later.

      How about we eliminate the ability to use housing as a speculative investment vehicle- how about we build homes with the intent of having people live in them and start families and build communities first. Until housing supply increases substantially and the majority of Canadians (and future incoming immigrants) have reasonable, sustainable living situations, should we then allow using housing as investments. The more properties you own and rent out, the more taxes should be imposed.
