We reelected this guy… Why?
His government is giving away public land to corrupt foreign businessmen (1).
His political movement was ranked the least transparent in Ontario (2).
He blames bike lanes for traffic jams (3).
His brother was a drug addict (4).
His family is linked with organized crime (5)
I’m not Canadian.
It’s unbelievable that a moron like this is running the largest Canadian province.
Shame. Shame. Shame.
Welcome to Foug Dord’s Ontario
But over achieves on booze and highways.
Can’t wait for all of ontario to blame the feds somehow when this budget backfires
Only those that have no civics knowledge, some of us know who is in charge of what
Which is sadly the majority of the population.
It is too bad that education is so stigmatized that many people give up learning after, or even during, their school years. I never had a real civics class in school here in Ontario, there were teeny tiny bits handed out in different classes but never had a full on civics class, I learned what our govt levels were and weren’t responsible for. When I get angry about something I prefer to get angry at the correct person/thing. So I knew that when we were occupied illegally for 3 weeks that they were angry at Dougie not trudie, they were clueless
Was saddened to hear all the voters interviewed in the BC provincial election voting conservative because they wanted Trudeau out. WTF?!?
Unfortunately, having no civics knowledge does not disqualify a person from voting. If it did, Ford would have been out a couple of elections ago.
Many people kept blaming Trudeau for the housing crisis when in reality, provincial and municipal politics/decisions effect housing a lot more than the feds do.
Our new housing minister doesn’t want housing to fall either, neither does Carney, so clearly Canadians don’t want affordability either. That’s probably why he keeps winning.

this video goes into some details about the contradictions he’s made. TLDW he doesn’t want exisiting housing prices to fall but wants to build more affordable housing. This is difficult to achieve because adequate affordable housing will cause prices to fall. He says housing as an investment should be protected, so the government is stepping in to protect assets that gain as much as 30+% per year and will prevent them from falling/correcting. No other financial asset has protected gains like that.
A Youtube video with “some details” in it is not a citation demonstrating the Housing Minister, Prime Minister, or Canadians don’t want affordability or housing prices to come down.
The first seconds of the video has the housing minister answering the question “do you think housing prices need to fall?” And he replies “no,…”
Edit:here is a CTV news link where he states "No. I think that we need to deliver more supply, make sure the market is stable. It’s a huge part of our economy,”
If that doesnt scream keep the status quo for housing idk what does.

What do you think the result of creating more supply in the housing market to be? Is anything “screaming” at you?
More “affordable housing”, which means dense government rentals, reserved for the uber poor and homeless. Its also a drop in the bucket in numbers versus the number private developers build, which is still far below the 420k immigration cap Carney announced.
Its no surprise, Trudeau also said prices need to remain elevated, as peoples nest egg. They just ran on affordable housing and people assumed it meant holistically lower prices, not government housing, its semantics.
More supply should lower prices if done correctly. He explicitly states they want to add supply without lowering prices, therefore they may not provide enough supply to actually satisfy long term demand or make entry into the market possible for many first time buyers.
