OTTAWA - The federal Liberal government plans a $600-million package of loans and funding to help make it easier and cheaper to build homes for owners and renters.

This. At a governmental level, it isn’t a huge number for an issue of this magnitude. Enough to try and sway opinion (aka marketing), but less so for real change.

Isn’t the house price about 1m +? 600 dwellings in a country of 60m or however many people.

About 42M when I started writing this comment but we’re probably closing on 60M now as I finish typing it out…
