It's especially rent, there was an article in Québec about someone who saw her rent increase from 1750$ to 2900$, condo was not re-sold or anything, it's just the owner who want to eat poors.
If we want rent control, tories aren't the answer.
They're never the answer.
A lot of people just want to punish the Liberals for their failings (of which there are... many). The meme that Canada votes against people and not for people seems pretty accurate IMO.
I thought Quebec had strict rent control? That shouldn't have been possible. It's the kind of thing I would expect to hear out of BC or Ontario.
BC has rent control set by the province. They set raises below inflation for a few years now too.
With many, many loopholes.
