Wouldn't be shocked if Alberta becomes expensive in 3-5 years. I feel many are strongly considering migrating there. Also, it might not be bad to learn some French, but yeah Canada doesn't have many viable options tbhWhat do brehs know about Calgary?make a move out there?

Basically the whole GTHA is the most unaffordable place to live in the Country. Funny thing is people will blame that on Trudeau and not Ford...The average asking rent in Canada went up last month to a record $2,078.

+One way to drive down prices is to make it mandatory that in every condo going up in the city you have to alot ⅓ of the apartments to lower income rental units. Probably easier said than done, but no reason this is going on other than greed.
Canadian politicians don’t want to crash housing/rental prices so here we are.

My friend moved there a couple of years ago, and he said it's not much different than let's say cities like Kitchener and London. However, you'll of course get the look and whatnot in some areas, but he said there are some black people in certain areas, but don't go there expecting much black culture there tbh. However, everyday life doesn't seem that bad there, and if you like stuff like hiking and nature. Then it's of course much better than here, but the winter really sucks there. Also, the job market is much worse there than here, but it somewhat balances out since it's much cheaper to live there, just don't expect much in career advancement in certain areas.I don't know much about Calgary

Think about it
- Do you think federal politicians want to alter the tax code to reduce tax incentives for property speculation?
- Do you think provincial politicians want to reinsert rent control or place a property tax equivalent to 50 per cent of gains on non-primary residence sales?
- Do you think you city council wants to build or cater to NIMBYs who want to "preserve the neighbourhood" by blocking affordable housing construction in their areas?
