This is a community to discuss the housing crisis in Canada.

All so Canadians can find a decent home to live in.

Racism is still absolutely prohibited, but you are welcome to debate population growth, immigration rate, foreign home buyers, and the merits of single family homes or the green zone.

A merge of r/canadahousing and r/canadahousing2 for those coming from Reddit.

Bits of the sidebar and logo taken from those subs and will be going through a slight revision as things get settled.

Explain to me how Trudeau is responsible for the rise in the cost of housing in LA, Paris, London, Buenos Aires, Adelaide, and Barcelona.

If you can't do that then blaming Trudeau for the Canadian manifestations of a global rise in housing prices is just reductively childish tribalistic nonsense. How would you explain that it wasn't Pierre polievre's fault if he was in power instead of Trudeau?

Cutting taxes and giving billions of dollars of gifts to the wealthy and cutting services for everyone else won't solve this problem.

What Canada needs is a Conservative leader who is an adult with real ideas instead of just "TrUdEaU bAd!"

If we can agree that policies can impact the economic and housing situation in situ of its local, which I think they do, then we can look at policies at all levels, (ie municipal, provincial, federal), in order to improve our Canadian situation. How much can be done is another conversation, but we control our local government more than the worlds.
