There are about 16.3 million homes in the country. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. last year calculated that, for prices to moderate, 5.8 million more are needed over the next decade – that’s 3.5 million on top of the 2.3 million that would otherwise be built. Look at those numbers and wonder why the Prime Minister held a press conference for 214 homes. Look at those numbers and consider the national housing strategy’s modest impact, 107,519 homes, so far.
With you until the last sentence, and it’s “martial law” not “marshal”. Handing over government to the military would be a very weird reaction to failures in provincial housing policy.
Yeah there’s no way anybody genuinely believed he’s going to declare martial law over the housing crisis he doesn’t give a shit about.
