So, Statistics Canada points to affordability concerns in reporting that Canadians are increasingly living in apartments, instead of houses, and are increasingly not having children or delaying and having tiny numbers of children.

Does that mean it may have been a bad idea in recent decades to have welcomed billions and billions and billions of dollars of overseas money to buy up houses in Canadian cities, many such houses sitting empty or containing a single student going to college whilst rich dad works overseas, the houses skyrocketed to one million, two million, three million dollars a pop, unaccessible to local young married couples working at local jobs?

Does that contribute to the matter of affordability in places like Vancouver and Toronto and Richmond and South Surrey and Victoria and Burnaby? 

Should Justin Trudeau do something about this, or is his dream, in our big cities, to snuff out the long-rooted family trees of local workers at local jobs?
