The article misses the bigger point.
Montreal rent isn’t just “going up.”
Your money is buying less.
Average rent:
2016: CAD$761
2025: CAD$1,291
If rent simply tracked inflation, CAD$761 in 2016 would be about CAD$1,022 today.
That extra gap is monetary debasement.
The dollar lost purchasing power.
This is why we Bitcoin. 🧡
