Where are you building these houses in the protected Oak Ridges Moran? Building requires space to begin with.

Canada, famously a country with no free space. Even if the problem was a lack of space, building denser is always an option and none of the big Canadian cities are really overflowing due to population density.

You kid, but 90% of land in Canada is crown land. Nobody is allowed to own it.
