      Its financialized due to cheap debt and a shortages, caused by the BoC and the NDP themselves supporting mass immigration.

      I don’t see anything Avi is pushing to definancialize it, if anything he wants to exacerbate shortages to encourage further speculation. I’d be curious what you think he’s suggesting that will accomplish it.
