@DaleJ64@YakkStack It is a general loss of economies of scale. For example: Instead of a big truck transporting tons of fertilizer to a big field it is dozens of vehicles transporting individual bags of fertilizer to various houses. Extrapolate this case to every aspect of it.
@Glen_Evans_01@acoyne Right. The provinces and cities need to fix their zoning and regulations to propagate construction. Federal housing is an ineffective band-aid.
@DarthTheChef @DonBraid@acoyne@jkenney@stephenharper That is absolutely not how it works. Ontario receives a tiny amount in equalization payments despite having far and away the largest population while Quebec pulls in billions. The formula is far more complex (and exploitable) than you describe.
