As usual, Geezer, another wonderful article! I hope the provinces pay attention to the feds housing plans as the provinces need to step up on their constitutional obligation for housing.
Off topic but it would be great to see an article on housing, energy, food comparisons for similar countries. Certainly, these issues don’t exist solely in Canada.
Hi Canadians! Would you mind very much if we Australians cloned your Prime Minister please? We need someone like your Mark Carney to help us rebuild our future too. Albo's ok, but he's not brave enough to make the big decisions for us.
Very well done Fred!!! Carney is noticing what I have been noticing for a few years now. Thank Ford, & I still like Ford, for certain areas of expertise. We are building 50 units of affordable housing for Sault Ste Marie! Eventually you see the work going up, near the waterfront, then the gut punch!!! This "affordable" housing for working people, units cost $2500.00 & upwards per unit!!! That is not "affordable" housing in a small city, that's a gift horse to people that can afford better, due to the positions they hold! This, while people are still working 2 or 3 parttime positions to survive! THESE are the people that need actual affordable housing! Many homeless people are homeless because while everything else escalated in price, wages remained frozen & now people take to the streets because they have no choice. There's that saying "today me, tomorrow you"!
I am *so* jealous of Canadians!
