        No, but they do for almost all social programs as well as housing.

        They beg the feds for more tax points, the feds agree, the provinces cut taxes/services and stick their hands out for more. Rince and repeat.

          Massive pressure on housing is being introduced by the fed itself (via immigration and banking regulation), and the fed shares a massive responsiblility in all the social programs (most notably healthcare) that were downloaded to the provinces in the 1990s by Jean Chretien.

          The fed is directly responsible for many of these issues because of actions taken over the past 30-40 years, why should the provinces be responsible for fixing it?
