- Stanford’s report ‘Alberta’s disappearing advantage’ shows wages in Alberta is no longer the wage leader among Canadian provinces and can’t keep up with inflation. Silvia Naranjo reports.
The apartment that I live in has increase the rent by 1000 dollars, the management is trying to get the senior people out of the building while receiving 150 millions grant from the government of Alberta to provide affordable housing for seniors in Calgary. Where can we go???
My daughter is in her 20s, and her rent went up $800 month. She had to move, she couldn't afford that.
In OTTAWA is $2300 + expenses 1 BD. 500sqft max. to rent. CANNABIS AND DRUGS IN ALL NON SMOKING BUILDINGS.
IS TRUTH.
If no one can afford an apt they must be getting empty. So they would rather have empty apt
Trudeau wants all the old white people living on the streets so we can fill apartments with east indians
@@sharonburton9663 No they put on r airbnb what ever they call it. Tourist from other countries have money.
Coast to coast Canadians are suffering and losing everything they worked for.
If true, do Conservative Premiers have any answers then?
not true. UCP sold out to the foreign shareholder class by giving them Bns$ in tax cuts. to afford those cuts, the UCP fired 1000s of Drs and nurses, causing 5720 deaths due to the hoax.
now the same UCP have radio and TV ads selling their handouts to migrants/any one from outside of alberta. they want 2000 skilled labour units, but can not train their own slaves to become the skilled lab rats.
u make a generalization and another dumb white gets born and stays stew-pid. ban the stew-pid
@@McLovin1759better question can we do anything to stop it getting worse?
Also very unproductive. Same goes for most of canada. We cant afford decent lives, we get pathetic minimum time off from work to engage in our interests (most of world gets 3 or 4 weeks legal minumum vacation, with 4 to 5 being quite common), and for some reason, economists and some employers cannot figure out why canadians are not being as productive as europeans. Its just a huge mystery that people could be motivated by the fact they want to enjoy their lives while young too. Who would want that?
Oh? What specifically are you losing?
All of Canada is the same or worse
Except that's not true. The story is abo0ut that FACT.
W e f plan. U will own nothing and be happy. Or else.
@bradcanning875
Pay attention. This is everywhere.
Except Alberta is just starting to realize what has been going on for everyone else already
Winnipeg is cheap much of Canada was affordable until about 5 years ago the overpricing makes no sense at all.
@@t-bonejones3576were starting to realize the economic stupidity of making a low wage but overbidding for an overpriced ordinary 3 bedroom houses or town homes that are priced like mansions usually old and not even desirable 😆
So the places in Canada with the most people are also the most unaffordable? ... SHOCKER.
I see you chose to miss the part about how the decrease in purchasing power in even the largest Albertan cities, Edmonton having about 1 million inhabitants and Calgary having 1.6, *exceeds* that of Toronto, which has about 6.5 million (6+x larger than Edmonton, 4+x larger than Calgary). Alberta as a whole only has about 4.5 million residents. Took literally 30 seconds to look that up, so why didn't you do it?
You can keep trying to cover for the incompetence and corruption of the UCP with your own self-serving deliberate ignorance, but it ain't gonna work.
@@michaelccozens Toronto is a PORT city on the east coast with massive rail and transit hubs. Alberta is an interior LANDLOCKED province with only transit and rail to get good brought it. I see you chose to miss the part. longer shipping times for goods higher prices $$$. you think life is good in Toronto? your all fighting over scraps while massive companies take the big checks home and laugh.
So the places with the most immigrants are neglecting Canadian residents?
Are you delusional?
@@michaelccozens Nice psychological breakdown of a stranger on the internet, that typed ONE sentence. A sentence not even mentioning any political parties. Remember, if you get angry enough, you MUST be right.

That's what happens when you elect wrong people to power.
Yeah for 50 of the last 54 years the good ( and wise) people have voted the wrong, by your account, people in to power.
Yet our province by any measure you would like to use has done better than the rest while paying for the rest.

It started 7 years ago. Where have you've been all this time?
Whole country is suffering because of this federal government
7 years? I think we need to look back much farther.
Dude, it started LONG, LONG before 7 years ago. I hope you are not oblivious to the inevitable systemic inequality generated by market capitalism that's been going on for decades in Canada, are you?
No party and politician or corporate elite oligarch is coming to save us. We have to do it for ourselves, united in spirit and common goal for a better future for all. Like One Small Town Contributionism communities are doing in the USA, in the UK and other places. We can choose a better path for ourselves in Canada. Are you willing to look into it and find out? Or even ask questions and follow them where they lead?

For those of us who lived through the recession we know you snowflakes have no idea what you are talking about.

@@cdbuiles
You are correct the chart is "Household basket cost". Since housing is not included as an element of the cost of living standards then this analysis is useless.

800%. 800%. 800%. 800%

And thanks to conservatives who killed the unions and fight wage increases and benefits for everyone but themselves you get to be slaves.

Everything has gone up in price, by design.
The Liberal/NDP Carbon Tax = Economic STAGFLATION, by design.
World Economic Forum Great Reset Agenda success, first requires Canada, and the USA "to become weaker domestically, and on the World stage".
Make no mistake folks... Team Trudeau is not incompetent. Think diabolical.
Both PM Trudeau, and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh graduated from the World Economic Forum Young Global Leaders program, and over half of PM Trudeau's Cabinet Ministers are pro-Globalism, WEF activists. That public record fact, and well kept secret, explains (almost) everything (my opinion).
Double dipping Employment Minister Randy Boissonnault, has a well documented history with the WEF, as an "Agenda Contributor".
Finance Minister Freeland herself, has held a seat at the World Economic Forum board of directors table in Geneva, since 2019.
The Freeland/WEF conflict of interest public record fact, has never been challenged in Parliament, and never reported to the public anywhere in the Canadian Press for 5 years, and (still) counting.
Can you say... Deliberate Public Deception? I can.
We need a Public Inquiry into WEF foreign interference with all elected members of Parliament, and all newsroom editors in the Canadian Press. Can we all agree on that?
If you have not personally investigated the WEF Great Reset Agenda yet, now, is the time.

"2 of the 4 most expensive cities in Canada" we have like 6 big cities 😂
we have some 20 cities with populations of 500K+ or - a few thousand people. they're all expensive to live in now. no rent control. foreign ownership of housing because property is "an investment". in other words, the governments of the last 40 odd years have let us, the people who make the money, down so that the people who take the money we make, can take more.

@@Richard-Burdett-Bow Might work in a small town with extremely limited choice, but in a city your new business will go unnoticed, and have little hope with competing with large corporations.
businesses everywhere cry that raising wages/meagre benefits inpacts them, but not ONCE does media OR the bus. owners state clearly what % wages are in their bus. compared to hydro, food costs, materials, lease rent, various permits and taxes and assessments. Where I am in bldg. management we not only are 7% of the total budget, we SAVE that entire amount by smart material managment, buying wholesale or sourcing used in good conditon, or even FREE stuff. So our NET cost in NADA. Not ONCE have I read the % cost either by the owners OR media.
And not a single word about straight up corporate greed and price driving and the profound effect those are having on the cost of living. Hmm..
Probably because they're having negligible effects. Loblaws, for example, is the poster child for what the left calls "corporate greed" yet their profit margins are 3.5%, which is incredibly weak. Grocery stores are not and never have been particularly profitable. Loblaws makes the money it does because it is enormous, but they literally have to spend 96.5 cents to make 3.5 cents, and this is including their more profitable pharmaceutical and clothing revenue streams, so their grocery business is even worse. Anyone who thinks this is corporate greed should give their head a shake and then take some basic business classes.

Ok, so you've voiced your critiques of immigrants. How about market capitalism? Any critiques for that system? Or you think it is serving the people just fine?
You can thank Dictator Dani and her disastrous "Alberta is Calling" campaign.
lol no it won't get worse than Vancouver...
Its the cost of the carbon tax that is causing this nothing else
ROTFLMAO!! Says the flat earther.
That and Trudeau's illegal immigration.
not true. UCP fired 1000s of Drs and Nurses just before the pandemic, so as to afford the Bns$ in tax cuts to the foreign shareholder class.
Now the same UCP govt has ads on radio/tv to get 2000 skilled labour units to move to alberta. but alberta already has 1000s of workers that can Learn to read and become skilled lab rats.
UCP never see the future. they fired their own wild fire firefighters, yrs ago. last yr the UCP used free south african blacks to put out the wild fires.
as long as the UCP rule over alberta, there will be more deaths and lower wages.
5720 albertans died due to the lack of Drs and nurses. UCP have sold out to the foreign shareholder class, making all albertans slaves to the foreigners.
The data presented here is extremely deceptive. They use "Household Market Basket Cost" as their metric (1:36), which is not defined at all. This metric seems to completely exclude housing and rent costs. I believed this at first, but when I saw that Saskatoon (and even Fredericton, Regina, Charlottetown) has a much higher "cost of living" than Montreal , I knew there was something completely and utterly wrong with the data. Many articles published even in the past couple of months show that Edmonton and Saskatoon have some of the lowest housing and rent prices in the country. Furthermore, look at the cities they have selected; why have they used these particular cities and excluded Victoria, Burnaby, Kelowna and many others (they only use 1 city in British Columbia, yet use all 3 of the very small-sized cities in New Brunswick). Strange right? Considering housing and rent costs make up the largest percentage of a person's budget in this country, removing those housing/rent costs from their "Household Market Basket Cost" is simply deceptive and really makes you question their motives. I think when we are presented with data, it is easy to take it at face value and simply believe it - I've definitely fallen for this before. But we need to become better at critiquing data, because this data is definitely presented in a very distorted way. CityNews: please do a better job at making sure that you report accurate and non-manipulated data so that we all have a better understanding of what is actually happening in Canada.
I agree. I am shocked at why we are even listening to this. I mean, yes public sector employees are long over sue for a wage increase. comparing families who are low income across the country doesn’t really make Sence. What is affordable. Ie wages to cost of living. If you did this Toronto and Vancouver would have horrendous numbers as rent/taxes and even food/clothes are markablry higher.
This is what happens when hundreds of thousand rapidly move here, overwhelming our systems, buying up 2 three homes from you selling your dumpster in Ontario and Vancouver... unreal, this is an economic and socioeconomic problem... Alberta was amazing, now government (Feds) and people have ruined it.
Thanks to Dictator Dani's "Alberta is Calling" campaign, that completely backfired and has ended up destroying the province.

If you think it is ridiculous how many people are moving here and how expensive everything is getting, how do you think Europe or Australia feels? They are much closer geographically to the countries which are overpopulated and easier to move to than Canada.
If we feel it here, it is more pressure in those other continents.
Something systemic here is causing the problem, worldwide. It's the "C" word. Something you never hear critiqued on corporate media (no, not 'corporations'), but another "C" word that technically you can say on TV but the ruling elite are very scared to hear it talked about and critiqued.
@@whatever3749 $1.44 or so it was $1.59 a few weeks ago. We have some of the highest utility rates, highest insurance rates, not to mention our health care system is failing
People are moving to Alberta because it's cheaper than anywhere else but with tax increases and carbon taxes everything will become as expensive as BC thanks to the Trudeau Singh coalition the federal government is shoving taxes left and right down canadians throats and threatening provinces if they don't raise the taxes the federal government will take control of taxes. Trudeau is forcing every province to pay carbon taxes
Alberta is a true conservative mecca .....as if they care about their people .
That's why the Premier brought Tucker Carlson here a week before he flew to tell the world how great & free Russia is. lol
And PST…oh no, Albertans don’t pay a PST like every other Canadian. Life’s tough.
I lived there when it was both affordable and the economy was doing well with a healthy oil industry. Now, after Justin's brilliance, the oil industry is almost dead in the water so who/what is causing this skyrocketing in costs, especially housing, if there are no jobs to speak of?
Stay where you are.....its worse in other provinces.....Alberta is the last province to feel the pinch of our federal policies but I believe it will be the 1rst province to recuperate when Trudeau and his lapdogs are kicked out
It's the wef plan and we r one of a few agents it, thus high inbound migration

I’ve lived in Alberta all my life. I’m 65 now. It’s always been a great place to live if you have a big income. It’s a terrible place to live if your poor. I think it’s worse now. Ralf Klein referred to it as the Alberta Advantage. I guess that’s only for the rich.
Its the federal governments tax and spend fault. Quebec mooches and other factors.
Thanks Jagmeet.

Time for the govt to invest even more in oil and gas industry!!!!!
Once the Pierre will be in power 🤞
There's only one way which oil prices are going and it is down. Gasoline demand in the USA is now lower than it was in 2023. Drivers are shifting away from ICE and to EVs. The Middle East and USA are huge competitors to Canadian oil in foreign markets and can easily crush AB as an oil exporter, which has a much higher production cost. Alberta may have to put in place a provincial sales tax in 2035 or so to make up for the shortfall.

We’re being fleeced and the UCP is okay with that.
It's hardly just Alberta, this is happening across Canada. The cost of living is out of control. Food Prices, Rent Prices skyrocket each year. Less and less health care access. We've let the rich and corporations drain our society dry to the point where there's bascialyl nothing left for anyone else.

You mean when Ottawa shut down Alberta’s main resource their finances were affected? Wierd
I live in New Brunswick and work in Alberta. I’m fairly confident Albertans don’t know the meaning of being poor.
I’m originally from Newfoundland and have family spread throughout the country, including beautiful New Brunswick…some working within the province…others commute from western provinces, or via “fly in - fly out” diamond mines in the NWT.
I completely agree with your statement…people in western provinces have NO clue what it is to be poor!
My father is from an exceptionally rich family…yet…my mother is from a family that was so poor they couldn’t afford boots and shoes, so my grandmother would receive foot ware with holes and line them with flour sacks and other materials to try and keep her children’s feet from freezing in the often wet, cold conditions of the Maritimes!
My maternal grandfather was such a generous, sensitive man, who grew up even worse in an outport community, so he started trapping, snaring, and fishing at 6 years old. His commendable selflessness prevented his exceptionally large family from starvation! His father died when he was quite young, so it forced enormous challenges on him and his family. Because he didn’t want his siblings to be sent to orphanages on the man island, he would pick berries, grow a garden, fish, and forage for his family…which meant his younger siblings could attend school until grade 6. As he got older, he began chopping wood to sell, as wood heat was the method of heating homes in his community. This provided an extremely small margin of extra funds, so he could plant a much larger organic garden, and provide an tiny sliver of extra time to devote to catching extra fish, wild game, etc…allowing him to share and donate extra produce from his garden, as well as, any extra fish, wild game, and other food stuffs to even poorer and more desperate families. Sadly, these weren’t exceptional times…as you undoubtedly know from our shared maritime heritage…this was an ongoing struggle, which continues to this very day! Fortunately, we aren’t as destitute as previous generations…yet…we still have to work exceptionally hard not just to provide for ourselves, but for our extended family, and assist or donate to others within our communities.
I won’t even begin to explain the desperate situation of the health care system, as this is a whole other loaded issue, which needed to be addressed since the settling of the Maritimes. Like everything else, this issue has been neglected throughout our histories!
Like our Maritime provinces, Indigenous peoples endure similar challenges…but… it’s even more complex and difficult for communities in our glorious North than southern counterparts. Many communities within our North do not have have the basics…clean drinking water, infrastructure, and homes. Though our southern Indigenous communities struggle with these issues, it’s more prevalent and extreme in the North. Then there is the unbelievable challenge of providing fresh produce. To say it’s expensive and difficult to transport food to our northern communities is not just an understatement! It’s one…if not…the most complicated, price inhibiting issue facing our northern communities! That being said, there are individuals and companies donating their time, efforts, and resources to help alleviate this historical problem. One such effort, and ongoing successful project, is the construction of greenhouses and gardens. Education of the general population, along with schools, in combination with the provision of resources and materials for these communities have been overwhelmingly welcomed and successful! To witness toddlers, teenagers, and elders all engaging in such a project, with incredible enthusiasm is encouraging. Yet, it is even more so for the members within these communities. Those who introduced such programs initially began on a small scale, but it soon grew to a much larger interest, involvement, and investment by both the community and those wanting to help relieve and solve the desperate, prohibitive food prices and shortages in the North. Along with growing their own food, the community is discovering many technologies, and embracing them, without incurring negative cultural losses and impacts. This is also leading to crossover usages, such as using solar and other renewable sources of energy to heat the greenhouses throughout the freezing months, and provide a light source for the plants…but…it is also transferring and implementing these passive, renewable sources of energy into daily living throughout the year…such as introducing lighting, heating, and comforts into their personal dwellings, cabins, and snow shelters, to name a few. It benefits ALL Canadians, when we support and share such technologies, ingenious methods, and resources!
Like many Canadians, I am an optimist, who is always hopeful and delighted when discovering a community that has found various, and sometimes ingenious methods to address complex issues, all while thriving via hard work, investment in our communities, working diligently, and encouraging outside investment, so our future looks brighter for all! As Canadians, we need to support and help one another, whenever the need arises!
Cheers!🇨🇦
I'm fairly confident you know nothing about Alberta and what it's like to be poor here.
119,000 people living well under the poverty line in Alberta, and that number only includes people receiving Income Support or AISH - there are thousands more who aren't even counted because you can't get income support if you're homeless, nevermind thousands of low-income seniors on pensions.
