Analyzing Federal Intervention in Canada's Affordable Housing Crisis

This essay examines the affordable housing crisis in Canada, arguing that the federal government must take control of the property market to improve affordability, particularly for renters. The introduction provides background on the crisis, highlighting issues arising from excessive investment in housing markets and the government's failure to fulfill its responsibilities. The essay's thesis proposes that the Federal Government should control the property market by building more affordable housing and introducing rent control. The body paragraphs will address opposition arguments, the impact of federal government policies on rent prices through affordable housing and rent control, and the need for intervention to address the high costs faced by renters. The essay will use research and evidence to support the argument, incorporating concession and refutation, and will conclude by reiterating the importance of government action to alleviate the housing crisis.
