    If all of his property were seized and given to homeless people, it would solve 13% of all Canadian homelessness overnight. Just find 7 more people like him and no-one in Canada would be homeless.

    … what about the people who live in his properties now? Wont they be homeless if you give it to people? I’m not defending the guy, I was actually looking for the video to mock the dumbass for being a dumbass, but this statement doesn’t make any sort of sense.

    edit

    Looks like it wouldn’t effect Canadian housing at all since most of the housing they own is in the sunbelt

      You should also see what percent of owned homes are [unlived in](Census Mapper https://share.google/sxb8FC9CwK5hrRhMA)

          I see less than 8% on the source given.

          For context, the the number of homeless is less than 1% of the Canadian population.
