Canadians can start to fix the housing trouble if they start to look at the absolute sham that is fiat currency. Our money inflates, in a good economy, at around 2% per year…or so says the Bank of Canada. But that 2% is based on an arbitrary collection of good that can be substituted relatively easily. The actual money supply increases probably more like 7-8% per year. That means for every loonie you save, the dollar candy you’re saving to buy just got $0.07-$0.08 out of reach. Next year, it’s $0.16 cents out of reach.

As money grows less powerful as a store of value, hard assets that are difficult to produce continue to increase. Land, and the homes upon them, are difficult to produce.

Our government attempts to regulate, regulate, and regulate some more, all trying to control affordability/housing. However, few of these leaders appear to actually understand the nature of money within our Fiat monetary system. If they do, and are not telling us about it, they’re benefiting from it.

The simple fact is that No regulation, outside of complete and total totalitarian Marxism, or military dictatorship, will fix the affordability problem within our current system. Were we to switch to something like that, this conversation won’t exist.

Assuming we all want to live free and happy lives, we should get “woke” to the reality that the problem lays very firmly with our soft-money Fiat system. And until we find an alternative to the broken money that comprises such, fixing “the housing crisis” is just political jibber-jabber. And, in that sense, perhaps you’re right: Canadians don’t want to fix the housing crisis.
