Experts say Canada's regulations around parking, which in many cases is free, contributes to Canada’s housing crisis. What can be done about it?

Had to double check if this was not a Beaverton article! Seriously? Of course is the parking lots… couldn’t possibly be investment companies sweeping billions in properties at any price, massive influx of people without affordable housing being build, or even this insane unbalance between the areas where the jobs are and the areas where the houses are, leading to massive commuting and parking needs… No, it has to be parking spaces! That is it!

Like a lot of complex problems, the housing issue has multiple contributing factors. The other issues you brought up definitely are valid, but that doesn't invalidate the issues with parking and density. Most parking lots are way, way oversized.
