Will Canada's Next Prime Minister Solve the Million-Dollar Housing Crisis?
Briefly

Janet Robertson's eviction from her Vancouver apartment highlights the severe housing crisis in Canada's most expensive city. After struggling to find affordable options locally, she relocated to Chilliwack, a rural town now attracting many who can't afford Vancouver’s skyrocketing prices. As urban areas and some suburbs rank among the world's costliest for housing, this crisis has emerged as a pivotal issue for Canadian voters ahead of national elections on April 28. The rising costs have turned homeownership into an unattainable dream for many, especially first-time buyers, as seen by Toronto's recent home price increase to about 1.4 million Canadian dollars.
According to a Canadian real estate index, the price for a single-family home in Toronto has surged to 1.4 million Canadian dollars, an alarming increase from 970,000 dollars in 2020.
The housing crisis in Canada is not limited to city centers; it's affecting suburbs too, making them some of the most expensive places to find a home globally.
