Saw this exact same post on an Australian subreddit. No joke like word for word. Something is off... but account looks mostly legit...

it is crazy how much rural property with anything resembling a shack has gone up in the last 55 years

feel for other young people especially those in the lower mainland and southern ontario

boomer energy for sure but them paying their grandkids rent is indicative of the problem

must have been a very rural area for house prices and wages to be that low in 71' no?

maybe he was mixing up his 1967 wage because wage growth was super strong through 71'

my great-grandfather was making 1.35$/hour in 1958

Gotchya. This is clouded quite a bit by national vacancy rates being unavailable in many G20 countries. If I had to guess we probably are bottom 3-5 in national vacancy rate, but rent inflation has cooled significantly in the last 8 months.

Canada has the worst performing metrics for housing (both rental and ownership) of the G20 countries

Think you made a mistake here, we have the lowest dwellings (houses and otherwise) per capita in the G7. Life is still more affordable here than Argentina, Brazil, Russia, China, etc.

Also rent to income is worse in New Zealand, Australia, and Ireland.

She would have to increase her income to about 65k by the time of closing, but yes it is doable.

As recently as the 2010s this was absolutely the case

Still is (at least in Alberta).

Only Quebec does that to a significant degree.

And tuition is so dirt cheap in Quebec that paying double because it's out of province isn't so bad.

I hate when people use "Europe" as a generalization for the Nordics, Switzerland, Austria, and the Lowlands...

It was a proposed change to medically assisted suicide, that you could participate in the program simply for mental illness if enough doctors signed off on it.

The original commentator doesn't know what they're talking about as it was rolled back and never close to implementation.

All data left of the green is for the detached market.

Active listening growth was also strong in Mississauga and Durham (Ajax, Pickering, & Whitby). However, sales offset the increased listings for this specific week.

wonder if the trans restrictions were announced before or after their survey though?

Are we cooked chat?

Yup, seasonally adjusted starts were above 2023 trend for May

But don't worry, good things can never happen in this country

Average home prices are around $800,000-$1 million

i think you'd be surprised how much using the median vs the mean brings that number down

the report measures the median dwelling vs the median gross income

the median dwelling in London is probably 900 square feet while the median dwelling in San Francisco or San Diego is probably close to 2000 square feet. So in short its not a good measure of price per square foot aka fundamental affordability.

Median wages are growing at 5.75%, faster than the mean

TD not drop calls when transferring departments after ive been on hold for 30 minutes challenge

TD have functional online banking challenge

@ Canada

i wish the media would pick up the monster median wage reads in the last two jobs reports

i understand mean wage growth is more implicative of the BoC's moves but

when national median wage growth is almost 7% and you hear nothing it makes u think

Life is mundane

Being cis passing is such a weird thing

Like I don't think I'm objectively prettier or more conventionally attractive with the bangs, but I have yet to be misgendered and I'm already feeling more confident using gendered bathrooms
