The problem the policy is trying to fix is one that’s particularly acute in Canada.

    Sorry, should have been more clear. I meant at the federal level. I get that they are somewhat limited in their abilities, but again, everything they have done thus far has _only _made it worse.

      Hmm yeah I don’t follow the federal politics as much I should, but I’d say my impression is the same then. I guess interest rate policy is something but that’s a big can of worms as well.
