They need to do both. There are always going to be people who want/need to rent due to life circumstances as house ownership ties a person to the local area for an extended period of time. We need people to have the choice of moving, not never leaving their place because everywhere else is far more expensive than their current rates.
However, people who are ready to buy shouldn't be faced with property values 10-20 (or more depending where they are) times their annual salary. The issue is that housing needs to stop being seen as a investment and retirement fund, and just as a basic necessity of life.
How do you ruin an entire generations retirement plan when that's all they have? How do you screw over the following generations when most won't have anything?
You vote Liberal or Conservative. That's how.
Oh boy, slightly left criminal twits or harder right criminal twits. How can I ever decide!
False dichotomy.
Now try more left. And even more left. Canada isn't a two-party system, de facto or otherwise. Stop learning from the fucking Yanks.
Good thing we have that election reform right? Right?
