The Housing Crisis
Canada's housing market is a primary driver of the affordability crisis. A key issue is a fundamental imbalance between supply and demand. Canada's population has been growing rapidly, largely due to high levels of immigration, but the construction of new homes hasn't kept pace.
This is made worse by several other factors:
High Interest Rates: The Bank of Canada has raised interest rates to combat inflation, which makes mortgages more expensive. This, in turn, has driven up rental prices as more people are priced out of homeownership.
Land Costs and Regulations: In major cities like Toronto and Vancouver, land is a scarce and valuable resource. Strict zoning laws and a lack of new development further limit the available housing supply, driving up the cost of both land and construction.
Speculation: Housing is often viewed as a profitable investment, not just a place to live. Both domestic and foreign investors buy properties to hold for appreciation or use as short-term rentals, which reduces the number of homes available for long-term residents.
Food and Other Costs
Beyond housing, everyday essentials have also become more expensive.
Food Prices: Food prices have risen sharply due to several factors, including global supply chain disruptions, geopolitical conflicts, and widespread droughts affecting agriculture. This has led to a significant increase in food bank usage as many families struggle to afford groceries.
Stagnant Wages: For many people, wages haven't kept up with the rate of inflation. This means that even with a job, many Canadians are finding it difficult to afford basic necessities.
Corporate Profits: Some analysis suggests that a portion of the excess inflation in Canada is due to price gouging, particularly in sectors like banking and energy, where corporate profits have reached record highs.
