Will any politician do what’s necessary to tackle the housing crisis?

By The Big Story

In today’s Big Story podcast, last week, Conservative leadership favourite Pierre Poilievre released a video excoriating both municipal and federal governments for failing to keep housing affordable for the average family. It struck a chord with conservatives and many liberals as well, because of just how hopeless home ownership seems to so many. But are Poilievre’s solutions workable? Are anyone’s?

For a long time now housing has been a commodity, an investment — not a place of shelter and safety. What will it take to actually make a dent in the affordability crisis? And does any party or politician have the guts to do it?

GUEST: Leilani Farha, global director, The Shift
