Our nation is undergoing unprecedented social and economic transformation.

Many Canadians are suffering while our elected representatives remain silent. During the COVID crisis, the rights and freedoms guaranteed under the Constitution were suspended while our institutions and members of Parliament quietly approved the mandates.

In communities across the country, young people can’t hope to own a home—there have been over 1.25 million growth in population in the past 12 months—and they are being priced out of the rental market due to a flood of migrants and rising competition for apartments.
Inflation on housing keeps rising relentlessly and averages over 1.5 percent a month in many areas of the country. The average cost of a one-bedroom unit in October was $1,906, up 14 percent from the previous year. Vancouver, Canada’s most expensive city for renters, is out of control with the average one-bedroom unit listed at $2,872 and a two-bedroom at $3,777. Toronto has reached $2,607 for a one-bedroom and $3,424 for a two-bedroom.
