New Westminster is paying the price of becoming Canada’s second-densest city
68% Informative
New Westminster is the second -densest city in Canada .
It recently surpassed Montreal for the number of people per square kilometre.
It's expanding at twice the rate of Vancouver , and the B.C. government is pushing for 50,000 more people to move in in the next decade .
Victoria has been forced to require a 23 -per-cent rise in property taxes in three years .
That’s about the same as the City of Vancouver , where the densest city in Canada has mandated a 21 per cent property tax hike over the same period.
A significant portion of the blame can be laid at the feet of Ottawa , which has been setting record-high immigration targets.
