There is an infinite amount of affordable housing in Canada. It is just not in places people want (or can't for employment reasons) to live

Not sure what you mean by this as there is simply not. Housing is more than just plunking down a house on a piece of land. There needs to roads and services, curbs, gutters, drainage, etc. Some cities have a very limited amount of land left that is suitable to build on due to geography. The further you build away from the center, the more expensive it gets.
