The gains are not evenly spread across Canadians, the agency noted, meaning they reflect the financial success of few households.

    The “total number of owners” link goes here. I’m not really sure how to read what come up, though. I actually wonder if the site was bugging out.

    Here’s the actual exchange. Not to give them traffic, but maybe like me you want to click through to something else.

    According to other people in that thread, it goes down to 30% or 40% if you don’t include people who just live together with a homeowner. Honestly that doesn’t change the story much for the purpose of OP, IMO.

      I don’t think there’s many scenarios where 66.5% to 30-40% isn’t a substantial difference.

        Sure there is. Off the top of my head: how much you were speeding as it effects likelihood of being pulled over, salt content in your drinking water, and median daily percentage of necessary daily calories over the course of a year.

        In this case, that’s a substantial but not overwhelming share of the population with 90% of the wealth either way. To me personally, that seems the same. You can have a different impression and not be wrong, I guess.
