I guess it depends on province but I heard you have high inflation over there. How is it affecting the average person over there?

The article uses a definition of affordable being: can the average apartment dwellers afford to save the downpayment for a house. It's a combination of average incomes, average monthly expenses while renting, and the average house prices. Basically it's a list of places where one can still dream of being a homeowner without having to have exceptional income or generational wealth.
