What Canada needs is social housing. Lots of social housing. Billions of dollars spent every year for many years. Nothing less will work.

It starts with Ottawa. They cut social housing spending decades ago. The provinces followed. Worse, Harris downloaded social housing onto the municipalities. The cities can't afford to build, operate and maintain social housing. No way.

We have had both both Liberal and Conservative governments, both provincially and federally. None of them took on this responsibilty. Not one.

Even with ten years of Trudeau, nothing has been done to create more social housing.
