This forecast brought to you by the people actually able to afford to live comfortably in Vancouver and Toronto and afford a house there.

Even if inflation rates go down, wages haven't been in sync with reality for a long time and that's the core issue IMO. Everything is costing more from gas, to housing, to insurance, to groceries and yet wages are flat. I got a $0.50 raise this year.

This is unsustainable for the economy.
