    We’re facing high housing prices, high grocery prices, high gas prices, prospects of job losses and economic stagnation due to tariffs, threats of sovereignty from the US, dilapidated military, brain drain, …

    And Avi’s answer to all of this is to… have the government build cheap housing??

    You tackle these things by attracting investment, stimulating the economy, breaking up oligopolies, preventing hogging of real estate.

    Granted, Carney isn’t doing enough on those last two points but Avi’s plan is as useless as PP’s “axe the tax” crap.

      If you’re saying he hasn’t talked about grocery prices, then I definitely know you’re just sea lioning because he’s talked about everything you mentioned.

        No, I’m saying he never talked about how he plans to solve these problems. He talks plenty about the problems, he just has no real solutions.

          LoL! He does!

          If you’re so adamant that he didn’t, then I’m not gonna correct a sea lion. Because it’s clear where your headspace is at.

      So building cheap houses would:

      -Use Canadian lumber and other Canadian products to build them.

      -stimulate the economy with all of these points.

      -employ Canadians to build the houses.

      -employ Canadians to design them.

      -maybe make these housing projects into housing coops so prices can be kept down and multi class groups can live together rather than class separation.
