Well you tell us!! Obviously you've got this figured out entirely! I was worried because i was trusting all those bank reports, real estate reports, Global economic reports statcan population reports etc but now that you've drilled down to the facts i can rest at ease knowing you got this!
Absolutely - 15 year olds will never want to buy a home someday and as you've already pointed out children don't even NEED a home to live in, and certainly don't buy one! So you've saved us again!!!
You're WAY smarter than them! And for SURE we're not going to have ANY immigration so absolutely we're only going to have a population growth of 93,000! You're amazing - we'll TOTALLY have enough homes now!! You should be prime minister!
OH - ABSOLUTELY!!! Statcan has NO idea what they're talking about. We're only getting a TOTAL of 93 thousand new canadians per year, everyone knows that! You're a mathimatical genus, you've just solved the housing crisis!! THANKS Petros!!!
Have to admit, it was pretty good here too. Maybe a LITTLE dryer than normal or than you'd like to see but overall, just about perfect. Nice hot days but not TOO hot, nice and cool at night.
There's no goal post movement in the slightest. At any given time a percent of our population is young, medium and old. That's an ongoing cycle. Babies still need a home to live in.
Not even the boomers will be gone by that point. And the gen x will be retirement age but most of them will be...
They do when they grow up. Which is the problem we're seeing now - millenials and gen x'ers have no homes they can afford to buy because they're priced out of the market due to a lack of supply. In fact, among that group home ownership is the lowest it's ever been and getting worse.
But more...
And a similar number being born.
Here's Canada's population growth Currently:

And that's with much much less immigration due to covid. As you can see we were adding 1.3 percent per year before covid, and it looks like...
Because if people have no where to live they tend to either become violent or communist. And we don't need them burning or voting in anything in that state.
Some people love 'em. I know many who really enjoy that kind of life. But most don't. Lets face it, we're designed to be up and doing things during the day and asleep at night. And the rest of our soicety is kind of geared around that anyway.
Well, the reverse of that is you can bring in 400k along with the other increases in your population BUT - you DO have to plan for the problems and deal with that.
We should almost have a law that says max immigration allowed at any time has to be equal to the new homes etc that we have to...
Yikes. Well we know that kind of thing happened and we know that a lot of corporations abused (even if they didn't out and out scam) the systems as well.
Oh i'm sure they'll squack :) But think about it, in recent years the western provinces actually have more seats than quebec does. And we're adding faster. In a few years, possibly by the next census - bc and alberta should be close to matching them on their own. And with the bloc nullifying...
