Buyers Charge: Immigration Rate and Tail End

buyers charge: The major explanation for mismatched supply and demand is domestic new homes not keeping pace with Toronto's 1.6 per cent annual immigration rate an increase in population of over 100,000 a year a local economy that's actually doing quite well, and the irruption into Toronto of an ascendant set of values that can be attributed to an already landed, prospering immigrant class, according to Hamilton Spectator. The latter is not a racist suggestion as, to an extent, the foreign buyers charge is but the tail end and proof of the arguments we use to justify welcome new arrivals, typically portrayed as hardworking and with the drive to augment Canadian prosperity. Even proponents of the provincial Liberals' new speculation tax conceded it accounts for only five to eight per cent of purchases. To wit one of my wife's daughters has been looking for a property for a year. A university professor, he'd bought properties in the city for himself and for each of his children present ages six and four and these are the ones he is renting. When finally she rented, it was from a new Canadian who believed as a certain fictional character in my own family's past did that a man without land is nobody. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
