I'm with the young. They have a right to be angry as gov. has failed to plan an economy that lets boomers retire and millenials take their jobs. On the bright side, the boomers won't last forever, but gov. has no time to lose. A national housing program to let all Canadians use their rent money to buy whatever real estate those funds can purchase is what's needed.

No financial rules need to be stretched. Rather than build shoddy $300,000 apartments to trap the poor in poverty for life, let gov. create rolling repayable funding to get buildings up, fund a building and jobs boom, put everyone to work and wipe out poverty. All money will come bakc t gov in about 10-12 years. Let would-be modest homeowners build with non-prfit in-house builders and without builder profits tacked on. By the time the key is in the door, the down payment will be covered by market value.
