Trudeau schafft Fonds für gemeinnützige Organisationen zum Kauf von Wohnhäusern

This is fucking awesome. Trudeau went quiet for a bit and regrouped. Came out swinging on all fronts to tackle the housing crisis.

This is the same energy the LPC had for NAFTA/Trump and the pandemic. I think voters remember the LPC are extremely effective when they set an issue in their crosshairs like that.

All solutions to the housing crisis have bottlenecks that the LPC cannot control, like building costs or worker shortages or lack of eligible non-profits or economic reliance on immigrants, that will limit how much mitigating power each one has in the short and medium term.

So they are hitting the problem on all fronts. We’re seeing them push smart and sensible policies in as many arenas as possible.

And they have probably 18 months to build support back up behind them. I think that’s feasible given the economy by all accounts is likely to recover by then, inflation seems to be under control now, and frankly for how much the LPC gets blamed for the housing crisis I think most voters are not so ignorant as to realize it’s a complex issue that was exacerbated by more pressing crises in the past ~5-10 years.

If this doesn’t put PP on his hind legs with his platform-of-nothing-but-hot-air, it can only be due to an electorate that cares more about emotionally dunking on the PM than solving the housing crisis as quickly as possible.

To be clear, I don’t think the vast majority of Canadians wish to dunk on the PM nearly as much as they want the housing crisis and cost of living issues to be solved.
