Chrystia Freeland, the Finance Minister, has faced criticism for suggesting that Canadians should be content living in 330 sq ft apartments subsidized by tax dollars. The apartments in question cost $1600 per month, which many find unaffordable given the current housing crisis in Canada. The issue highlights the growing disparity between perceived low and middle-class incomes and the actual cost of living.
According to RBC, over 68% of Canadian households can't afford to buy a home based on their paycheques alone. After 8 years of Trudeau, it doesn't matter how hard you work but how much your parents can help out.

Finance Minister Freeland tours new housing development in Victoria touting it as a solution for "low and middle income Canadians. The only problem? They're 330 sq/ft and cost $1600/mo. Welcome to Canada in 2024. https://t.co/hgwWVvgxcZ
Freeland tells Canadians to live in 330 sq ft apartments—and be happy that their tax dollars subsidized it. After 8 years, she and Trudeau are not worth the cost of housing. https://t.co/X75XOGVvc9 https://t.co/D2wQWQ4tBa
Trudeau’s Canada. Dead bodies pile up in sea cans just next to dumpsters because their family members can’t afford burial. After 8 years of Trudeau, people can’t afford to live… and they can’t afford to die. https://t.co/ZOgzZiUEwZ https://t.co/Avr1bkp1AP
Freeland earns $3600 per week, her idea of low & middle class income differs from ours. A studio apartment which is 430 square feet is $1825 per month, and they go up to over $2600 per month. I guess if they cancel Disney Plus it might be doable. https://t.co/UbdJkeYYFZ
