- Alberta received a D+ overall and low marks specifically in factory-built housing and energy-efficient building options, while the federal government earned a B for strong housing incentives.
- This report implies that Alberta’s provincial government is not adequately addressing the housing crisis, a view echoed by critics who call the ranking 'disastrous' and urge more leadership and reforms.
