I'm not sure free speech is really causative. It might be a catalyst, but people have to be self absorbed and hold those beliefs before voicing them. They might just feel emboldened to voice them since others are too.
Is it that you can't afford a house anywhere, or that you can't afford one in the area you currently are? If relocating (remote work) is an option, my understanding is there are more affordable areas of Canada that have lower average home prices that someone making $100k could potentially afford one on the cheaper end.
