I encourage anybody to go look at the magnitude of the largest housing bubbles in the past few decades. Canada's ranks near or at the top in any comparison from any source.

Housing affordability has been in the dumps for years now and Canada's happiness ranking was much higher in previous years.

Things are getting worse in a variety of areas, not only housing. But no, it must be that we never heard of social media until two years ago.

I agree that the social media explanation is weak, but the things dragging Canada down are the same amongst most of the western world in my opinion, is all.
