I find it somewhat disappointing that most people in Canada can work 40 hours or more a week for their whole lives and never get that security due to the fact that very wealthy people (from Canada and overseas) raise house values to levels that most ordinary people can't afford.
I would never support a system that limits how far people can get ahead, but I would support one that at least tries harder to bring up the status quo.

I get what you're saying, but isn't that the point of a
minimum wage? Of course, a minimum wage does not have a guaranteed number of hours per week, but should companies be forced to guarantee full time hours for every employee?
I don't believe everyone has a right to property, but they have a right to own property. If everyone has a right to property (hmm, sounds a bit communistic), then it could possibly take the incentive for people to work harder and better their lives.
