    Can you elaborate on why its objectively a bad idea as a nexus to helping ease the housing crisis? What are you seeing we’re not?

      To start off Eby’s quote made it seem like a wide spread federal idea, but there no sign of Liberals proposing selling off any federal land. So it is indeed just a Conservative idea.

      In regards to why it’s a bad idea it’s because that’s how we got here. The Conservative government “saved” money by not building housing only for people to pay substantially more for it down the road. If there is any belief that we can just kick this can down the road till it becomes someone else’s problem aside from housing, that what was said for climate change, and healthcare as well,

      I’d also doubt selling thousands of buildings and large swaths of land would be fast, unless they go full Conservative and do a fire sale again like Harper did. Where Canadian get pennies on the dollar.

        Let me take a stab at this

        made it seem

        Nobody cares what it “seems” like or it “sounds” or “makes you feel”. All that is relevant is the technical and legal inputs.

        like a wide-spread Federal idea

        Again, this sentence means nothing. What’s with your “wide-spread”, wat does that even mean?

        no sign of…proposing…

        Don’t care what you see or don’t see and also this sentence means nothing. Stop rhetoricing and say something fact-based that is relevant to the discussion at hand or kindly please find another outlet

        so its indeed a Conservative idea

        What is? Tell me exactly or quote the article as support and explain why this is in any sense a “Conservative” idea(l)? I’m beyond skeptical but also open for you to redeem yourself for this quote
