Or, hear me out, you could (at the federal level) direct the CMHC build public housing at 1970s levels, and/or (at the provincial level) put rent control back?
How far off of "We have to liberate Americans in Canada from tyrannical French-Canadian rule" are we?
Canadian scientists went through this under Harper. We know what we're up against.

Want to fix this? Forgive student debt and actually put shovels in the ground for housing (not "accelerator funds", not tax breaks, not low-interest loans to developers: fucking buy equipment, pay people, and build shit)
