If the main drivers really were immigration-driven population growth then it wouldn't be a global issue that affects places that don't have Canada's immigration levels and population growth. Again, sniff test, etc.

A global crisis that just happens to be far worse in Canada for absolutely no reason whatsoever and certainly nothing to do with political decisions. Makes total sense.

Reminder: The USA (and other countries like Iceland) prices started off from a relative trough due to their correction after 2008, so their growth appears more more significant than if we had looked at a twenty year time span when in fact its more of a return to normalcy. We never had a price correction in 2008 but even despite that, we still have seen housing prices grow 50% faster here than our neighbors to the south despite becoming relatively poorer.

If this doesn't pass your sniff test, you've likely gone nose blind.
