I'm no captain of industry, so maybe naive, but I have often wondered why Canada is not a world leader in modular factory built housing on the level of the automotive industry. Yeah we build some pretty underwhelming mobile homes and double wides and even some component assembled systems but nothing extraordinary in my opinion. Have a look at what Norway Sweden and Germany do. They have some amazing systems. I would love to see a Canadian Henry Ford step up and build houses in factories with low skilled labour, high tech machinery and AI employed to fabricate homes to the highest environmental standards. First for the Canadian market and ultimately when our ports are upgraded, for the world. I think what Carney is proposing is something more like incentives for industry like what is done for a new battery plant or the oil and gas industry. We have absolutely all the material and human resources for such a push. Let's value- add to our raw materials and make Canada a true innovator and leader in this field!

See here what Sweden does...

I like that angle, they're definitely doing some pretty amazing stuff over there. Thanks for sharing the link!
