Politicians point fingers on Canada’s housing crisis
Calls for co-ordinated action across levels of government to address Canada’s housing crisis are growing as affordability deteriorates and the country risks falling even further behind on building more homes.
Instead, politicians have been quick to place blame elsewhere, taking particular aim at municipalities for standing in the way of new developments. “I’ve never seen a cohort of 22-year-olds as angry and wanting to burn down the system as the group I’ve taught in recent years. And I can’t exactly blame them, that they feel like their futures are being taken away from them, that they’ll never be able to afford a home,” he said.
“We don’t anticipate any significant improvement in affordability in the next couple of years,” the report said.
