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.

Thank you a lot for sharing this, because I didn't know the history at all and this topic comes up south of the border as well. It's good to have specific things to point to, success stories that we might be able to copy, if we could somehow get enough political willpower. Maybe one of these decades, up there or down here.

You and most of the people commenting on it.

Good on you for being willing to become more informed.
