Luxury Condos: Singh and Ont .,

luxury condos: DARRYL DYCK / THE CANADIAN PRESS 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 Toronto Star. 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.NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh is proposing to build 500,000 new affordable units over the next decade. 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.
