    Corporate ownership would still make renting cheaper given supply and demand. Rents doubled under Trudeau, and those houses aren’t sitting empty.

    Public housing isn’t going to work when everything is zoned for single family homes, there’s no shortage of capital to build, its land values that are expensive. They could force municipals to rezone those areas which would help, however that just sidesteps the real issue, which is sprawled zoning coupled with mass immigration.

      The sun is reactionary propaganda intended to mislead you for the profit of people not even in this country. If they write something that makes you upset, that probably means they are manipulating you. There are real publications across the political spectrum that will discuss the nuance and realities of these issues, but this isn’t it.

        I’ve been reading and researching for years, before it was even an election issue. They aren’t wrong.
