Ensemble Montréal mayoral candidate pledges $1M for community housing initiatives | CBC News

In the Montreal mayoral election, housing is a key issue with candidates promising solutions to the housing crisis. Incumbent Mayor Valérie Plante is focusing on creating affordable housing units and controlling rent increases. Her opponent, Denis Coderre, suggests incentivizing rapid construction and offering tax cuts to developers. Both candidates aim to address affordability and supply issues but have different approaches on how to manage development and support tenants. The election will likely hinge on who voters believe can better tackle the housing challenges in the city.
