The other problem with high housing costs is money laundering and hedge funds. There are entire streets in some of our biggest cities of empty homes and condos because they are owned by people who don't live in the country or are owned by hedge fund companies to push housing prices up.

Exactly, and it’s beyond high time Canadians (and well, the entire world) start educating each other on the real crux of the problem and deal with it once and for all. To think there’s literally less than a small cities worth of life forms on this entire planet, in which removed from the equation, would make it possible to enact all the changes necessary for the massive course correction humanity is in desperate need of. The funny thing is while that would ‘technically’ (and immediately) ‘work’, the real problems would only then begin to surface in trying to fill that void created. This is where even the most intelligent fail at finding solutions that would incentivize the entire planet to congregate and not only work together, but prevent us from extinguishing ourselves. We are after all, just animals... It’s this whole ‘survival of the fittest’ mentality that’s quite literally baked into our DNA to which will ultimately prevent our life forms from moving much farther beyond what we’ve at this point (in my opinion) accomplished...

[@j3ckl3r]

A used shipping container costs about $8000. 8'x40' or 320 sq ft and an 8ft ceiling. Not to mention that they are stackable, so adding a couple more would easily give enough room for about 5 people to live in for under $30,000, and it would only need a small amount of lumber, IF you want drywall, which would only be needed for cosmetic reasons, because bare insulation would look tacky. Buy land in a rural area and there will likely be enough trees on the property to make all the lumber you would need. You can also have a garden on top to grow your own produce, and you could have angled solar panels above that to provide all the electricity you would need. Car batteries could store the extra electricity you would need for night time, and a gas generator could be used if you require a bit more, unless you live next to a stream .Then you could use that to run your generator instead. Paint the container black so it can stay warmer in the winter. Cover it with a clear, uv protective paint and it should be able resistant to corrosion from the weather. Then Hang some angled nets from the sides of it to grow vines in the summer to provide shade for cooling. Off grid living is the way of a clean future. We need to bring jobs back to Canada that would allow people to work from home. With Starlink internet, working at home from a rural area is way more feasible than it used to be.

Nice... people who know what they're talking about. To expand, we have lots of land geographically, but what is scarce is "serviced land" ie. roads, sewage, utilities... etc. Part of that is to control urban sprawl, diminishing farmland, protect environment/wildlife... etc. Still, developers/builders are also in it for the money, so without minimum standard building codes, they will and have cut corners to maximize revenue. Excessive home prices is a compound problem with multiple factors. Sadly we need solutions sooner rather than later.

Good initiative! Pierre Poileivre should be our next Prime Minister! He would bring intelligence to Canadian government for the first time in years!

[@AbbeysArtPrints]

Polievre is a hero, thank `god we have him speaking for the people…….I wish he would become our next president.

[@victorlungu5098]

NO SHIT! BRAVO MR. POILIEVRE! We are the second largest country in the world with only 37 million population. Each person can own a football field and there would still be enough land left over to nature.

[@slammer3140]

does anyone know the prices of the unit?

[@darrylh547]

I like the interview, but not a whole lot was said about the companies technology toward building affordable homes. Can you put a link to their company site up please? I am interested in learning more about them. Thank you for all the information you keep giving us!

Agree that it is Manufactured Scarcity! Check out lumber mills near you...we use Hemlock here in N.S. as there are mills near us thankfully! Hemlock acts like a Hardwood such as Cedar from B.C. Hemlock is affordable for example :10' X 2' X4" Hemlock or 10' X 1' X 8" Hemlock goes for $6.Cdn + tax so under $7. per board! Hemlock is impervious to Rot, Mildew & Rodents as well hemlock barns from 150 yrs. ago are still in good shape (moisture content helps within Hemlock) so it will really outlast pre-treated Spruce sold in stores. Check it out as well Cedar from

[@miago5]

Who is the guy being interviewed and what is his background?

[@musicvarano]

[@johnrobichaud1205]

Constant loads of crap from Pierre Poilievre. Constant loads of crap from Justin Trudeau. End the lockdowns

[@johnrobichaud1205]

You could have the most energy efficient house on the planet and the provincial and federal governments will still find a way to screw it up.

[@carr0302]

Finally, sound minded news.

[@stevehouston5650]

I watched the video. What did the guy invent?

[@benwright5695]

Thank God for Pierre Polievre!

[@mjhickson4339]

Oh a couple years ago I could have afforded some land on a modest income and built a small dwelling to get going but you can’t do a tiny home because of bylaws, saving hard but market almost doubled in the following three years. Thanks Ontario for the first time homebuyer credit that isnt enough to add to buy anything and which you can’t get if you actually save half the amount you need for a downpayment. Really smart.

[@nicolasgilbert8850]

Yeah it's messed up... remove the bylaws!

[@ajaythakur-vm8uv]

Which company is it? What is their solution? Please have a little more elaborative discussion about it.

[@thet3504]

Ummm... This is very misleading.. I worked at Rona in the custom homes department.. We dealt with builders who built custom homes.. I will tell you right now.. All of them are scammers.. A 1500sq foot home fully built and move-in ready will cost you $130,000 in materials. However for some reason that same home cost $700,000 to purchase.

[@jasoncoates9259]

Id vote for you for the rest of my life if you just approached the idea of a limit to how many homes one person can own.

[@goodmorning5614]

Good job man you best this fu.. church country if I go Iran I remember was nice people like you also here

[@ladyjade6446]

People need to do better and stop asking government for help. Finish high school. Don’t do drugs. Don’t have babies if you can’t afford it. Etc.

[@pseudopetrus]

Families and owning a home are at the top of the list for so many Canadians. We need jobs and small government that does not erode our income with runaway taxes.

[@SailorGreenTea]

What was she hiding in the start?

[@jiveturkey9078]

I'm your typical leftist socialist liberal, but I'm a huge fan of Mr. Poilievre. If you run for PM, you have my vote 100%

[@selphconscious]

.. Pierre .. please hold the VANGUARD group inc accountable.. break up this monopoly in Canada.

Modern rammed earth homes are the way to go in rural Canada.

Yes sir.👍👍

[@macdtravis]

Canada has a population of 38,080,290 and a 9,984,670 km2 of land. For every square kilometre we could have 3.84 Canadians owning a home.

And bye bye moose bye trees..... Its all about negative bond service to pay who? an immigrant nation for the queen to support is global corporations feeds...

[@TBonerton]

The type of home matters though. As the pandemic has shown, no one wants to live in a condo anymore. Come buy my condo, its very affordable right now. What you live in, where it's located and how you want to use it ia what drives the cost. 70% of our land is better used to grow food.

[@topsuperseven7910]

I might hope to testify about this too. We went through a whole lot of this, I know what he is saying. We looked at a way to produce homes in Canada for shockingly low prices. One idea was funding it all through "gofundme" types of campaigns. This may sound shocking but i swear to you: 'objectively' there is no good reason why we couldn't add 50,000 homes in (example) The Lower Mainland in BC. Better. Not 'trailer parks' but improve beauty, modernize. IT WILL NOT HAPPEN. There is no way in hell we could get past the 1st layers of municipalities who only heard "Someone is trying to hurt us!!!" and its just not going to happen.

Growing up in St. Catharines and seeing farmland turned into a property tax base for local politicians is was disgusting. Canada should not squander farmland for houses of any type
