Less than a week after naming his new cabinet vowing a renewed focus on the concerns of Canadians, the one name Prime Minister Justin Trudeau couldn't keep out of his mouth on Monday was Pierre Poilievre. At a housing announcement Trudeau brought the Conservative leader up multiple times, from panning his policy proposals, to his leadership style.

I'm speaking of apartment blocks that are rented, not condo units that are purchased.

And someone owns those units. You can't just force the unit owners to sell.

Yes the gov't can, if they implement rules limiting how many units/blocks any single entity can own.

There are ways to do this.

And there are many many ways around those rules, shell companies, family members, friends. You can put other name son the ownership to get around limits easily.

Provinces need to update zoning, and build units. That's how you get prices down. The Federal government can't do much.

And back to square one.
