Die Kanadier können sich die Krise der Lebenshaltungskosten nicht vorstellen

„Some commentators suggest that many Canadians today have unrealistic expectations based on the growth experienced by previous generations during booming economic times. “

I think this is an important factor as well. The world has gone and changed and things will never go back to the way they were. Less than 20 years ago, I went to uni, bought a detached house, paid off debts, all before the age of 24. The house and land are all paid off this year.

There is zero way I could do this today. No hope in hell.

As a country, we decided that fluffing up our overall GDP with mass immigration was the best strategy. It kind of worked, but our GDP per capita plummeted and costs spiralled. There is not easy way to go back now.

Canada will become like Germany. Most people in Germany will never own a home; it’s a nation of renters.

That’s our future now. It doesn’t have to be horrible though. If rent control and other quality of life measures are in place, it can work. It works in Europe.

It just sucks that most future generations won’t be able to easily own their own land again, but we also can’t cling to the past. The times changed, and maybe young people do have some unrealistic expectations?

Anyone complaining about conservatives and PP not doing their job or they are not required as opposition must believe there is no cost-of-living crisis.

Most of them think our prime minister is doing a really good job at handling everything for Canada including cost-of-living issue..so why would they imagine there is one when there is none.

The problem is we are getting hit across the board, it’s not high rent, it’s high rent, high food, high everything.

Most concerning is food, increasingly it’s hard to ’shop smart‘, there just isn’t a cheap option anymore.
