In Canada you can get a 40k loan from the federal govt that is 0% interest on a 10 year term for doing green upgrades to your home. My solar generates more in credits than than the cost of the loan over the year. The Greener Homes Program is a bit of a pain to jump through all the hoops but getting thousands off in grants and a 0% loan is worth it.

for doing green upgrades to your home.

Who is owning a home in Canada lol. You'll pay your landlord $3000 for 1000sqft or fuck off.

Not all of us live in big cities where we would need to cry over high rent and house prices.

Even in the middle of nowhere a house is a million dollars.

They aren't.
I just moved last year.
But keep hyperbolizing, it only undermines the point you seem to want to hammer on.

... I also have eyes, and family in real estate. A tiny house an hour from any town is 1 million. A crack shack that needs to be demolished and rebuilt is 750K.

Maybe you live in Alberta? The place no one wants to be?

Nope in BC in a little city. The cost of houses here is rarely 1 Million. You seem to just want to be mad about things even if you need to exaggerate to be able to stomp your feet like a toddler over it. Since you have some anger over this so I'm gonna bid you a good day since talking to you is pointless when facts don't matter.

So because 1 city has affordable houses you talk for all of Canada? lmao.

Link me some realestate listings, please. I'd love to see these houses..
