While Canadians grapple with skyrocketing rents and unaffordable home prices, some of the very politicians tasked with solving the crisis are cashing in on the misery. With nearly 20% of Members of Parliament (MPs) owning rental or investment properties—and countless provincial legislators following suit—it’s clear there’s a conflict of interest at the heart of Canada’s housing crisis.

How to Save Canada
Let’s not mince words: Canada is at a breaking point. The economy is faltering, addiction and homelessness are rising sharply, and our relationship with the United States is strained like never before. At home, we face a housing crisis, an overwhelmed healthcare system, and economic paralysis stemming from an inability to train workers for the jobs needed to correct course. Abroad, signs of looming conflict in multiple theaters for NATO—possibly even World War III—are unmistakable. A war Canada is ill-prepared to assist in effectively, let alone lead.
