Tens of thousands of Canadians were "Alberta bound" as they searched for a more affordable place to live amongst higher interest rates and home prices.

COL & Housing prices in Alberta will rise, more and more people move there for the very same reason. Canadian gov. sitting on its ass calling for 500,000 new people every year, while not spending money to build housing, not pushing provinces to build houses either. Ontario can not even build 1 million homes in 10 years, that is a fact. That is pathetic. Canada is a cluster fuck of a nation when it comes to the future of housing and economy, count on it. They want to push the population to 100 million, and they will, except 39% of them will be homeless.

In the last two months, we got 250k newcomers actually. So 1m every 8 months. And basically no new homes.
