Shallow and short sighted drivel. 
He takes a collective occurrence and applies it to the individual like any of us have control over this fiasco.

Most people I know who have houses that we are benefitting from feel sorry for the next generation.   But does that mean I think you should tax any appreciation on MY HOME!!!   Not on your life.   The government is in our lives and pockets more than enough and a man's home should have some protection from silly policies this man is pronouncing. 

Do I think what has happened, fair?   Nope, but to suggest individually we are the makers of this is insane and infantile, just like this condescending piece. 

Maybe we could start with banning all foreign ownership of residential property.  CMHC was insuring houses long before this, so what this guy is saying is silly.   
Utilizing you rrsp s a first time homebuyer has been around for a couple of decades as well.
