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.

I think people typically migrate towards job opportunities. I was hoping with the remote work push that we would be sprawling out more.

I live in the Greater Toronto Area because I'm near friends and family. If it wasn't for family, I'd be in Alberta to be honest.

You don't have to move to Alberta to be honest. You can be honest in every province and territory. You can even be honest in the GTA, although it is sometimes harder there.
