Greedy parents sitting on their wealth while their 30 something year old children rent is a big problem

If you are a boomer with an extra $100K of equity in your house, help your kids buy something entry level.

Learn from new Canadians. Many communities help each other get ahead. If you want your children to do well, you have to help them.

I know This doesn’t address affordability for probably 1/2 of Canadians. However many families working together could do much more than they currently are to assist the young in getting a start in housing.

In reply to alex. Pains me to say it because I don’t like France, but the French have more balls than passive aggressive Canadians.

In reply to Vjkenny. You seem to garnish a rather personalized contempt for people who aren't wealthy, are you projecting or are you choking on your silver spoon?

In reply to alex. Yet poor people in the west blindly believe leftist ideas are bad for them? Most of the time these people dont even know who their oppressors are, the second politicians start blaming foreigners or minority groups for their problems they will be turn into mindless racist zombies.

In reply to Vjkenny. You would be surprised what poor people can do, I vividly remember a guillotine being paraded outside of the Elysee Palace in 2018 leading to major tax concessions in France.

Poor people always out numbered rich people, however its their lack of unity and critical thinking which allow the rich to control the government. So even if renters out numbered home owners its not going to make any difference.

In reply to Vincent Fornelli. I'm willing to bet those closer to 35 are a lot different from those closer to 55 as well. I actually can't find homeownership data more granular than 35 to 54, and that's a weird demographic to lump together. I sense a little data manipulation from Statistics Canada on this one. Not a high level conspiracy or anything, but an emotional analyst bias on ownership.
