    It’s more complex than just saying it’s only a Federal issue, or that Canada is alone in this, but I think it would be foolish to think they haven’t played a role.

    Lets take the right or left out of this and keep discussions above board, calling opinions “insultingly childish right wing talking points” doesn’t do us any favours.

      Explain to me how Trudeau is responsible for the rise in the cost of housing in LA, Paris, London, Buenos Aires, Adelaide, and Barcelona.

      If you can’t do that then blaming Trudeau for the Canadian manifestations of a global rise in housing prices is just reductively childish tribalistic nonsense. How would you explain that it wasn’t Pierre polievre’s fault if he was in power instead of Trudeau?

      Cutting taxes and giving billions of dollars of gifts to the wealthy and cutting services for everyone else won’t solve this problem.

      What Canada needs is a Conservative leader who is an adult with real ideas instead of just “TrUdEaU bAd!”

        If we can agree that policies can impact the economic and housing situation in situ of its local, which I think they do, then we can look at policies at all levels, (ie municipal, provincial, federal), in order to improve our Canadian situation. How much can be done is another conversation, but we control our local government more than the worlds.
