CMHC built and helpt built about a million houses in '45 to '49 because we needed them.

We're soon to be short 3.5 million houses. So build them.

The only discernable difference is that than in '45 the unhoused were already organized and more apt to violence due to the nature of being a demobilized army.

65% of Canadians can get pissed off about it. But the alternatives look worse, and they'll be more pissed off.

Or we can wait until the number of homeowners drops below the number of non-owners (20 years based on the trend of the last two censuses) and see what the masses decide over the gentry then.
