Carney was actually just asked about the housing crisis, here it is at 20:30 into the video:

Carney must be the first PM that I can remember, who actually fleshes out answers, rather than avoiding them. Impressive, to say the least, as it shows a clear understanding of the subjects he's being asked about.
He's still skirting around the real issue which is allowing property owners to keep increasing rents and buying up housing with no oversight.
That's one part of a many part problem.
Housing (including rent) isn't solely the responsibility of the federal government, but I'm glad to see that they are getting more involved.
Provinces and municipal/regional governments play a much greater role, so we need to pressure all levels of government to step up their efforts.
Exactly. It's great that the feds want to fix things... but the Provinces hold most of the levers being directly responsible for letting things devolve so far.
Here in BC Christy Clarke threw gasoline on the fire in 2016'ish and I watched condo prices jump 50% in months. I was lucky to have a condo to sell, but I also couldn't afford that same condo for the price I sold it. It's bonkers how much prices have gone up.
The NDP here has done something, if not enough.
In the end it's a pretty intractable problem. As a country we bet on housing as an investment and now we're paying the piper so to speak.
