Alberta and Ontario are experiencing contrasting trends in housing development. Alberta achieved a record 54,858 housing starts in 2025, a 14% increase from the previous year, leading Canada in per capita starts. Conversely, Ontario’s housing starts fell for the fourth consecutive year to 65,376, despite having a much larger population. Alberta’s success is attributed to streamlined regulations and a focus on addressing the supply problem, unlike the challenges faced in Ontario.
