I would first blame the Liberal government in 1993 until the mid 2000s that cut costs by downloading social housing to the provinces who then downloaded it to cities (except MB). It’s recent that we stopped building social housing en masse.
Personally, I blame the banks the most, and the lack of oversight. All the parties have a hand in this, I just wanted to point out that the Cons have been in power for quite a few years on the leadup to this all, as have the liberals and whatever sway the NDP has I guess too.
