  2.  @demisavage77  But so far it hasn't. BC has rent control yet its housing crisis is even worse than Ontario's.

  8. <Even if they build 3.5M houses in next 10 years (doubt it!) what makes housing not affordable is cost of leaving in general.> What about the costs of building and maintaining housing along with an influx of peopel willing to pay higher prices?

  9. <We might as well rename the Federal Government of Canada to The Federal Government of Ontario and Quebec. The rest of the country doesn’t count..> It figures when Ontario alone has more people than all of Western Canada combined including British Columbia.

  18. Not at all. And high rents is just a small price to pay for the convenience of living in the big city. Now, pay up or move out!

  19. <How about you go after the ltb a> And the provincial government that owns it?

  20. <quality public housing;> Those 2 words do not belong in the same sentence.

  21. <Corporate GREED is behind the DEVASTATING Housing Crisis.> No. Government greed is.
