In 2017, The Canadian government announced that it would allocate C$40 billion (US$31.6 billion) to a national housing plan to alleviate the severe lack of affordable housing. This includes building 100,000 affordable housing units, repairing another 300,000 social units that already exist and reducing homelessness by 50%.

No, the government should incentivize the cooperation of businesses and governments to achieve affordable housing!
@9BJY7Q22yrs2Y
Yes, but only for Canadian citizens
@9TG95F87mos7MO
There should be subsidies, however, there should be strict regulations on who gets these subsidies such as Canadian citizens or pr holders who are married and or with children. As time time goes by, more homes should be built and as time goes on these subsidy should be closed, if data suggest over 60% of eligible persons have received this subsidies and more homes are being built on a large scale.
@9L2WQFC1yr1Y
No, but offer incentives for towns and cities to build new homes. If they reach a certain target, they will receive bonuses. If they fail to receive targets, they will receive less funding.
@9DMC8LY2yrs2Y
Yes, but not at the expense of farmland and with the expectation housing prices drop by 50 to 60%
@96R2QR32yrs2Y
Reduce immigration first.
Yes, but cap the subsidy for 5 years, then the homeowner either needs to take over the payments or move out.
Build affordable housing instead of expensive condos

Fix ones that are falling apart. Rebuild, not clear cut.

Single family homes with property yes. Condos/apartments/townhouses no

Houses should be built as per need not a stipulated number
@8VK6JDC4yrs4Y
Houses should be built but not by the government
@8VJ4TBZ4yrs4Y
Depends who they are for. No if it’s for refugees.
For who, there has been zero internal population growth, building houses for immigrants forcing higher costs on Canadians
