In honor of Trudeau's resignation, I thought I'd post a graph showing complete failure on one of Canada's biggest issues.

Is it wholly his fault? No. It's at least as much on his predecessors and the provincial leaders. But it is an absolute morass where not only was no progress made, it dramatically worsened.
Someone explained to me that while people say "housing crisis" for both (any wealthy American city) and Canada, they mean *very* different things by it.

I think the metric chosen here kind of undersells the scale of the housing crisis in the US, but it’s unarguable that the situation is ten times worse in Canada
Proud that my province (British Columbia) is the only one that went down an aggressive pro yimby path. Fourplexes as of right, mandated housing targets, upzoning of all skytrain and bus exchange station areas, single egress stairs allowed, and so much more. Most ambitious in NA.
Housing is more of a provincial issue, and also its weird to pin it on Trudeau when according to your own graph it's been an issue waaaaay before he took office
The big difference beging Canada’s housing market not collapsing in 2008 due to a strong and concentrated banking industry.
Please don't leave out rising materials costs, investors buying properties to rent out or flip, and low inventory supply in popular areas. No politician can control these economic realities in a free market economy when explaining that graph. Its a world wide issue in fairness.

Not to defend PMJT but housing is a Provincial responsibility & the provinces have done everything in their power to keep this an issue by refusing Fed. money & policies making housing available - blaming the Feds for Prov. failure has been a political game since Confederation
now do Federal Civil Service jobs or Debt speaking of Federal Civil Service jobs expect liberals in months ahead to send 1000's of supporters into taxpayer paid patronage jobs Golden Parachute's CBC or National Post reporters to Senate Seats or Supreme Court judges🤮 SICK
