Jagmeet Singh: Ont ., and Luxury Condos

jagmeet singh: I'd say, 'OK, let me check with my wife.' I'd get back a day later and the place would be gone, Singh said, according to CTV. The market's really hard out here. Jagmeet Singh began calling landlords last year as he prepared to move across the country from Brampton, Ont., to run in a byelection in Burnaby South. If it's hard for me, I can only imagine how hard it is for so many people. In Burnaby, renters have been kicked out of older apartments to make way for luxury condos, and sky-high prices are shutting millennials out of the market. Housing is shaping up to be a defining issue in the byelection, set for Feb. 25, and in the federal election later this year. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
