Here’s my technocrat dream: we get Mark Carney as PM to fix all our economic woes (anemic growth, housing market, crappy resource-based economy that leans too much on oil/gas), and then get Andy Byford to replace Doug Ford.
The liberals do everything in their power to keep housing prices high. Trudeau himself even said that the majority of the Canada pension fund is invested in REITs
There’s a Montreal reporter that appeared in my random mainstream socials (that I’m too useless at to find again easily), I think Instagram, who got a list of all MP financial holdings for a piece on the housing crisis. Apparently 56% of conservative MPs and 53% of Liberal MPs are landlords (I’m remembering the approximate amount and relative levels), so of course they want to keep housing prices high. (If I ever figure out how to find a historical suggestion from my feed, I’ll come back and post a link to the journalist’s work)
I love your dream, but besides being former Commissioner of the TTC, does Byford have any ties to Ontario? (EDIT Or any signs of having political ambitions?)

I’ve seen that report before too. I failed to mention it’s also in the best interests of the MPs to inflate their own properties.
