    The heat pump retrofits are good policy.

    Loving the supports for Canadian cultural institutions.

    Major projects I would give a B grade, a mixed bag.

    I like the homelessness targets, this needs to come from Federal government - executed by municipal and non profit agencies. Disappointed that dollars don’t start until next year. (Although something in Winnipeg is kicking off soon I understand)

      The main thing corporations were hollering for was increased immigration to drive wages down and this decidedly did not deliver that, so I don’t understand where the headline is coming from at all tbh.
