Public supply and demand controlsMarket supply and deregulation
“Forty per cent of Canada's new housing supply needs to be nonmarket housing. To meet this target, non-profit developers should build on government-owned land, with cities enacting as-of-right zoning and fee waivers for affordable projects. The non-profit would manage the housing but the government would retain ownership.” Read the piece

Only opinion columns and editorials are scored. Each piece is read twice by a language model, which records the author's own stance on a policy topic only where the piece argues one, with a quote that must appear in the piece. An author's position on a topic is the average of their pieces, weighted by the model's confidence. News reporting is listed but never scored.
