Despite what Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has said recently, a new poll suggests 40 per cent of Canadians think his government is to blame for the country's housing crisis.
Leger surveyed 1,537 people between Aug. 18 and 20, asking a series of questions about the rising cost of housing and what should be done about it.
Renters were more likely to blame the province, while those who own their homes were inclined to blame the feds. One of those is a national housing accord that would see all three levels of government agree to work with builders and non-profit agencies to co-ordinate their efforts. The government hasn't detailed its plans yet but ministers at the meetings in Prince Edward Island have been clear that housing is a top priority.
And more than half of the people polled — 55 per cent — reported that they worried at least once or twice about being able to pay their own mortgage or rent in the last couple of months. That includes 16 per cent who say they worried"frequently' about being able to make the payments. The poll also listed possible solutions governments could implement, and asked whether respondents agreed with them.
