40 per cent of respondents pointed the finger at the federal government and 32 per cent at their provincial government
Trudeau was criticized by opposition parties and experts after he told reporters earlier this month that “housing isn’t a primary federal responsibility,” suggesting that the provinces and municipalities should step up.
The Leger poll cannot be assigned a margin of error because online surveys are not considered truly random samples. Respondents from rural areas were most likely to say they never worried about paying their rent or mortgage, as were those over the age of 55. The top choices, with 79 per cent support each, were building more government-supplied housing and offering incentives to developers to build affordable homes. Seventy-seven per cent of respondents agreed with tightening rent controls, and 68 per cent said there should be income-based rent subsidies.
