      What is your plan to fix the housing crisis that does not include building houses?

        You correctly pointed out that the headline takes the quote out of context so I parodied the headline by taking the quote even more out of context. It’s a joke!

            lol ouch!

            Though, in OP’s defence, their sarcasm points out that the cabinet minister can’t think outside the box for finding solutions to help with the housing crisis.

            I, myself, am disappointed because Carney said that the government should get back in the business for building affordable housing. I was hopeful he would hold on to that idea. However, it looks like they will keep relying on the greedy private real estate industry to keep building cheap inhumanly small deluxe condo units in huge buildings instead.
