architectural landscape in so-called Canada, with new builds arising at
mushrooming speeds and lightweight materials enabling easy teardown. The real
estate boom has seen whole hillsides spring suburban developments while postwar
stone bungalows in denser urban areas are torn down and replaced with large,
boxy drywall structures decoratively clad in stone facing barely belying the
