In British Columbia, Chilliwack has emerged as a popular relocation destination for individuals fleeing the high living costs of major urban centers. Janet Robertson, who faced eviction after two decades in her Vancouver apartment, is one of the many Canadians forced into the suburbs where housing remains slightly more accessible. “I really didn’t have any other options but to come to Chilliwack,” she explains, demonstrating the dire circumstances many face.
The housing crisis in Canada, described by many as fully developed, is increasingly a top concern for voters gearing up for elections. Urban centers are among the most expensive places globally for housing with Toronto's average cost for a single-family home now around 1.4 million Canadian dollars (approximately $1 million), a marked increase from 970,000 Canadian dollars ($700,000) just three years ago.
As Canadians prepare to head to the polls on April 28, the question looms: what solutions will the next prime minister offer to address the urgent housing needs of citizens across the nation?
