between 1964 and 1995 about 10% of all homes built were social housing.

the Brian Mulroney Conservatives [axed the federal] co-operative housing program in 1992.

Only Ontario, Quebec and BC continued to fund provincial co-op programs... Since 1990, roughly 17,000 units have been completed in these provinces.

The article then describes how private landlords lobbied for this outcome and profit from it:
