The evidence is clear: Canada's housing crisis is not a simple supply and demand problem. It is a problem of who owns our homes and why. By focusing almost exclusively on expanding supply through the private sector the NHS has given our housing system over to predaceous investors while deeply indebting everyday Canadians.

Is there something wrong with these people. Why are they pretending our Prime Minister didn't clearly state he WILL NOT BRING DOWN HOUSING PRICES FOR OWNERS.

Any solution that costs home owners equity is not a acceptable solution for the current government or essentially anyone else you can currently vote for. That conversation is over, if people want affordable housing they'll have to wait till the majority of Canadians are willing to vote for something that involves housing prices going down and probably proper representation.

This is not the type of conversation that'll do anything for the housing problem. People need to move from fantasy to realistic approach to solving problems.
