Rather than propose a vision for a Canadian economy built on something other than housing speculation, Mark Carney has opted to prop up real estate interests. Build Canada Homes is designed to create the appearance of action on housing affordability while carefully ensuring its output is aligned with the landlords and developers its chief executive so ably represents.
This is a very weak story in my opinion. It’s about a housing bubble, affordability, prices, … but the entire story doesn’t cite a single source, not a single number, no verifiable data whatsoever. There is no serious research.
Unfortunately it is the media outlet. The entire ‘Canada Dimension’ site looks like a dumping ground of anti-Canadian propaganda with sensationalist headlines aimed at making the country look bad.
