The media is blaming immigrants for the housing crisis. They're wrong ⋆ The Breach

Instead of halting immigration, we should regulate the investors and developers driving and profiting from sky-high housing prices

Some folks on here have been repeating this garbage as well

You got a source for that 1,000,000? Pretty sure it was quite literally the first number you put in the comment.

  Your correct, I mistook the total growth of the country instead.. It was 440k immigrants contributing to the total growth of 1,000,000 people in Canada for 2022.
  
  And it averages out to approximately 200k - 250k housing units per year.
