Sounds like the OP already has her mind made up and isn’t interested in opposing views
No, it's the Bush Mortgage Bubble because it was Bush's regulators who ceased the enforcement of lending standards beginning in 2004 and extending into 2007, like Bush's own Working Group said:
“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”
https://www.treasury.gov/resource-center/fin-mkts/Documents/q4progress update.pdf
It's also the Bush Mortgage Bubble because Bush was the one who pushed increased subprime lending, with new subprimes totaling as much as 40% of all new mortgages issued by 2006. In 2003, that share was just 10%:
One counter argument which the OP fails to think about (not surprising) is that Canada was virtually unscathed.
Plenty of people to blame but right up there is Billy BJ. Amongst his biggest strokes of free-wheeling capitalism was the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act, which repealed the Glass-Steagall Act, a cornerstone of Depression-era regulation. He also signed the Commodity Futures Modernization Act, which exempted credit-default swaps from regulation.
Why is that? Why would Canada have no housing bubble?
Only simplistic shallow thinkers try to take a complex issue and try to distill it’s cause down to one person.
Per the Federal Reserve Board of Governors:
"Since 1995 there has been essentially no change in the basic CRA rules or enforcement process that can be reasonably linked to the subprime lending activity. This fact weakens the link between the CRA and the current crisis since the crisis is rooted in poor performance of mortgage loans made between 2004 and 2007. "

“Some 80 percent of outstanding U.S. mortgages are prime, while 14 percent are subprime and 6 percent fall into the near-prime category. These numbers, however, mask the explosive growth of nonprime mortgages. Subprime and near-prime loans shot up from 9 percent of newly originated securitized mortgages in 2001 to 40 percent in 2006.”
and
“In dollar terms, non-prime (subprime) mortgages represented 32 percent of all mortgage origination in 2005, more than triple their 10 percent share only two years earlier"

Ouch. How embarrassing for you to be so wrong about everything all the time.
e get it anything bad is ALWAYS a republicans fault and the democrat party is perfect.

We get it anything bad is ALWAYS a republicans fault and the democrat party is perfect. The democrat party always makes perfect decisions and their policies are 100% effective with ZERO unintended consequences.

https://www.thebalance.com/what-caused-the-subprime-mortgage-crisis-3305696The subprime mortgage crisis was also caused by deregulation. In 1999, the banks were allowed to act like hedge funds. They also invested depositors' funds in outside hedge funds. That's what caused the Savings and Loan Crisis in 1989. Many lenders spent millions of dollars to lobby state legislatures to relax laws. Those laws would have protected borrowers from taking on mortgages they really couldn't afford.
There are no opposing views on the truth. There is only the truth. The truth is that it was the dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for subprime loans beginning in 2004 that caused the bubble and subsequent crisis, and the Bush Administration and Federal Reserve Board of Governors both say so:
“The Presidents Working Group’s March policy statement acknowledged that turmoil in financial markets clearly was triggered by a dramatic weakening of underwriting standards for U.S. subprime mortgages, beginning in late 2004 and extending into 2007.”

Who was President in 2004?
Who controlled Congress in 2004?
Who controlled SCOTUS in 2004?
Y'all did.
Canadian regulators didn't dramatically weaken enforcement of lending standards for subprime loans, but Bush's regulators did starting in 2004.
The democrat party always makes perfect decisions and their policies are 100% effective with ZERO unintended consequences.
Do you get it?
Because it's doubtful you do.
Instead, you bleat about how unfair it is that your shitty beliefs are called to the mat for their consequences, so you have to play a victim and whine like a little bitch.
you have officially lost the argument, fascist.
