> Stop championing scarcity by blaming scapegoats. Either we limit Canada's crazy-high immigration rate (1% of population every year) or we build more homes which is mostly gated by illiberal zoning laws passed by municipalities. But both of these policies are very popular so you'll be swimming upstream, politically.
I'm all for building more houses in cities/high demand areas, but doesn't Canada only have a population growth rate of around 1%/yr? It seems like you could easily build your way past that without giving up the advantages of immigration and a little population growth.
