Pierre Poilievre is onto something when he rants about Canada’s housing nightmare
That has created an opportunity for Mr. Poilievre, whose frustration with the “gatekeepers” and scoffing tone at Canada’s ridiculous housing market is resonating with a generation of Canadians who see homeownership as not simply beyond reach, but as an issue that has long been neglected by those in power.
“Why is that?” Mr. Poilievre asks, with palpable exasperation. “Shouldn’t our working class be better off today than it was 40 years ago?” Conspicuously, however, Mr. Poilievre’s polemic about how the gatekeepers are “blocking the poor, the working class and our immigrants from the privilege of owning a home in this country” does not specifically outline a plan to increase urban density, nor does he identify levers that a Poilievre federal government would pull to compel provinces and municipalities to allow multi-family homes where they are currently not permitted.
