With rising rents and house prices making it increasingly harder to find a place to live, some are pointing the finger at Canada’s record-level immigration rates.
All of the commentary I’ve seen about immigration and the housing crisis has acknowledged that the crisis had multiple causes and needs every level of government needs to make significant policy changes.
Most commentators say we need to build more homes, reduce the financialization of homes, provide more affordable housing, and yes, temporarily reduce pressure on the system by temporarily reducing immigration.

I think even conservatives that are smart and aware enough know this, but you won’t hear it from Poilievre.
I’m pretty sure the article has a quote from Poilievre where he says more houses need to be built.
To support your point, the Conservative website definitely says that. And it uses the word gAtEkEePeRs 592 times while saying it. 😂
