Ontario’s housing starts have seen a significant drop of 16.9% year-over-year, with only 20,600 units initiated in Q3, raising concerns about the government’s ability to meet its ambitious target of 1.5 million homes by 2031. Greens Leader Mike Schreiner criticized Premier Ford for failing to address the housing crisis and for prioritizing the interests of insiders over the needs of Ontarians. He emphasized the urgent need for a comprehensive housing strategy that focuses on affordability, renter protection, and the construction of deeply affordable homes.
