The Conservatives have a 16-point lead. Three-quarters of the country think it’s time for a change. But Justin Trudeau is vowing to fight Pierre Poilievre in the next election.

    Why has nothing been done about housing on a federal level? He pretends to care, but he doesn’t.

    I’m no Fuck Trudeau sticker bearer, but the more you make me think about it the less I like him. :p

      It’s largely a provincial problem. To which, of course, you’ll say, “But immigration!”

      Here’s the thing, though: In order to build homes, you need laborers (there’s a shortage of construction workers). To get laborers, you need immigration. With that immigration, though, you need to house them. Catch-22.

      The thing Trudeau can (and should) do, though, is fix the immigration targeting. Enough with the international students (though, that’s also provincial, as institutions are literally only staying afloat due to fees from such students)!
