Buoyant 1969 housing outlook amid high mortgage rates
The Canadian Construction Association head predicts 200000 housing starts in 1969 with a modest overall rise in construction valued at about 1 billion dollars.

The piece argues government rates push money into housing yet fail to solve affordability.
