It's something thats come up in discussions here heading into the municipal election.
I believe since affordability is so difficult here and the #1 topic; more people are still renting into their 30s/40s/beyond who will vote and more renters show up to vote in general compared to other provinces since housing is such an important issue here.
Here's one breakdown for BC & Ontario going to a past federal election:

That seems to be using voter eligibility data, but I'll try to find data for actual votes cast here in the municipal or provincial levels. |
Better Dwelling isn't a reliable unbiased source. They are extrapolating data from unofficial data sources and merging them in a way to fit their narrative. Only the census is reliable and the latest data from 2021 also shows home ownership to be 67%.

The decline in homeownership rates between 2011 and 2021 was the largest for younger Canadians, with the rate falling to 36.5 from 44.1 for those between the ages of 25 and 29.
Canadians between the ages of 30 and 34 experienced a similar but slightly smaller decline in homeownership, falling to 52.3 per cent from 59.2 per cent.

In other words, you only have a tiny demographic of the population without 50%+ home ownership
