What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

A Globe and Mail analysis shows that while Vancouver and Toronto have doubled in population since the 1970s, established areas in both regions have seen population declines of up to 40%. Separately, Mark Carney pledged $4.4 billion to housing-related infrastructure in Toronto's province, and the government pledged $1.6 billion over 10 years for such projects in British Columbia.
