The problem isn’t housing though, it’s the cost of living. EVERYTHING is more expensive in Canada, since almost everything is imported. Since the growing season is only about 3-4 months maybe (except for parts of BC), almost all food is imported (usually from the US, and as soon as those tariffs hit, the already-high prices are going to skyrocket). Clothing (of which you need double, since winter), books, school supplies, electronics, tires for your car (again, two sets), just every-fucking-thing is imported and expensive.
Do you think you can produce enough food in a 3 month growing season to keep you fed and healthy all year long? Do you already have a full set of proper winter clothes that are warm enough to make it through a Canadian Winter? Do you have a vehicle that has a block heater installed in it already, and winter tires for it? How are you going to pay for gas, and heat your house? And pay for electricity? And you may want to consider pot plant selling as a hobby instead of a main income source, since everyone grows their own already.
Well the pot would be just for me. I would just build a big green house or hot house and hydroponic the shit out of produce. And hopefully get a business license to sell it to stores or a farmers market/
Even though cannabis is legal to grow for personal use (under certain conditions), it is illegal to sell unless you get a proper license and there are tons of regulations.

Housing costs are the least of your problems.
I just want to buy a house have a couple acres. Grow stuff and maybe have a couple pot plants and resell them. Just living off what I can produce.

I meant grow my own cannabis for just me and use the rest of the land to grow vegetables and produce. And just sell that kind of like a business.
