North Of Fair

Host Doug examines six years of Ontario legislation that sped up development but failed to fund or guarantee deeply affordable housing, highlighting the consequences for renters and families across Ontario and Canada.The episode looks at projects in Vancouver and Toronto where promised below‑market units are being scrapped, rising homelessness and evictions, and the broader trend of policy prioritizing speed over long‑term affordability.Doug discusses concrete solutions—durable affordability mandates, public co‑financing, nonprofit partnerships, and land trusts—and urges provincial action to fund and protect housing for those most in need.
