Honestly, the problem with dumps being listed for such high amounts isn't entirely because of our disgusting housing market. It's because people are so desperate to live in or near big cities like Toronto, Vancouver, etc..

Canada has too many people in the same places, we're a huge country, how about everyone spread out a little.

More complex than that. Before you move anywhere, you should consider local infrastructure, availability of healthcare, doctors, and access to hospitals, local amenities, shopping, airports, public transit, weather, policing, snow removal and plowing, municipal taxes and fees, schools, recreation, etc.

Simply moving to another community is not a simple solution.
