Submitting for this truly astonishing quote:

" Landlords in Quebec, however, feel they need to catch up to other provinces as Quebec is still one of the most affordable places to live in the country, said Jean-Olivier Reed, a spokesperson for the Quebec Landlord Association (APQ)."

What are you arguing for? Because it seems you're championing doing nothing.

I'm championing land value taxes, but they won't pass until ownership rates drop another 20-30 percent over the next 20-30 years.

Honestly, the best option for my children (who are still quite young) right now is for me to try to make it worse faster so that we can make such a radical change sooner.
