Because not all countries are the same. In Canada owning a home is the historical norm and until a few years ago someone making the median income could have afforded one in most places.

Very few Canadians actually want to live in an apartment, home ownership is the goal.

Canada's home ownership rate is currently 66.5%[1] which is higher than many countries, but it used to be higher.
