A new poll by Leger surveyed nearly 1,600 Canadians about their perceptions of increasing rental costs and other issues related to the housing crisis.

The survey underscores that most Canadians strongly believe governments should prioritize the affordability and supply crisis.

However, only 13 per cent of respondents believe public spaces are currently being disinfected at a high level.

As Canadians’ household debt ratio climbs higher, single Canadians interested in purchasing a home on their own are not the ones to blame for the increase.
