There is a constant crisis on Canada, whether it's the Khalistani crisis, or internal protests, or housing crisis or relationship with India.
And Canadian MP Jagmeet Singh slammed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, saying that the blame for the housing crisis in the country should be placed on him and not on international students.
“Justin Trudeau’s housing crisis has left students struggling to find a home. Instead of blaming students, we must implement immediate solutions,” Singh, leader of Canada's New Democratic Party, wrote on X.
Jagmeet Singh's party is in alliance with Trudeau's Liberal Party in the government.
In a video message, he said, “Let's be clear, there is no blame that should be attributed to international students for the housing crisis we are in.”
Canada is facing a housing crisis, which is having a significant social impact on Canadians, particularly young people and low-income households. This crisis is also affecting the Canadian government's popularity.
Among the measures to address the situation, the government has also proposed limiting the entry of international students. However, Jagmeet Singh called it a “ridiculous” decision.
“While facing a serious housing crisis, they are talking about capping international students. That is ridiculous,” he said.
The Canadian MP proposed that “educational institutions should have a plan to house their students, and study permits should be issued to universities or other schools that can show a plan to house their students.”
The affordable housing crisis has affected large numbers of Indian students as well. Recently, some of the student groups, mostly from India, even protested outside their campuses demanding proper housing facilities
