I mean, I understand your frustration, this and previous governments should have dealt with the housing shortage long ago. But I'd say it's unfair to say they're pushing up housing prices, particularly after they just released a plan to address the problem. https://www.pm.gc.ca/en/news/news-releases/2024/04/12/announcement-canadas-housing-plan#:~:text=The%20plan%20lays%20out%20a,being%20built%20anyway%20by%202031.
Ontario also wants to count student residences in the housing tally to make numbers look good, so our leaders contradict each other
There has been many similar plans over the past decade and look where we are? Buying into the propaganda. Just like the net zero emissions goals by some long off date. Feels good, and we can point to similar good news stories like the one you linked, but the pattern is pretty established yet we tend to fall for the hope every time. That said, I am hoping this one goes somewhere, but I am not holding my breath, especially with a change in government likely coming.
