As a general rule, I hate opinion pieces as I feel that they are a major contributor to our slide towards ‘facts don’t matter’ US style political rhetoric. That said, I thought this was an interesting and fact driven piece that if anything was too easy on the RCMP. Sharing a journalist’s request for information with the union, without permission, definitely struck me as a serious lapse in judgment.
I don’t even know what that is anymore as far as any of them “attempting” to do anything. The House of Commons is just one massive dog and pony show where they chew out each other for issues none of them will make an effort to actually address and solve. None of the parties, like you said, want to actually even make the slightest attempt to fix the housing problem in this country. None really want to fix the cost of living either.
I mean I can’t stand all three parties. I look at the leadership of all three and I just sigh cause I don’t want to vote for any of them. I can’t do more years of Trudeau. I can’t stand Poilievre and his stumbling of words and snake oil tactics. and Singh I just have zero confidence in to come up with original thought.
There won’t be much affordability with housing prices the way they are.
I also rank voting reform over housing. Without voting reform the only plausible flip on housing policies won’t come for decades until things get way worse for more Canadians.
