The likely biggest single stressor on housing right now - population growth -
is primarily a federal issue.
Also disagree that the federal government can't do more to get housing built: federal programs in the 70s led directly to the creation of hundreds of thousands of rental & affordable units. Either way, if the Fed's plan was to ramp up population growth, it should also have been their responsibility to coordinate with provinces to ensure that they were actually able to build enough housing to accommodate the added strain.
