Home loan interest rates remain high and rents rise, which has greatly reduced the quality of life and happiness index of Canadians, indicating that the quality of life of Canadians has declined in the past year.  The cost of living, represented by rent, has further risen. Due to rising mortgage interest, more and more Canadians cannot afford to buy a house, and even lose their existing housing because they cannot pay the high loan interest. The results of this selection fully show Canadians are dissatisfied and disappointed with real life.
