As the country moves into its new post-pandemic normal, it should implement universal public housing, too. This means the average Canadian's housing is only as secure as their employment. Bringing Alberta's housing law into compliance with the charter requires more than just another moratorium on evictions. Like with health care, public housing should in most circumstances be free at the point of access and financed through taxation (especially of those in higher income brackets). Given the systemic discrimination that LGBTQ2S+ and other marginalized Canadians face — in part due to legislation passed by their own governments — universal public housing is necessary to give that purpose full effect.
