"Trudeau lights $6B on fire" - call me a pessimist but any time this happens it's like "ok where did that money go?", I don't see this doing anything.

It'll probably improve how we build housing. It may improve density. But I doubt it'll make housing more affordable.

And the $6b is supposed to be spent in infrastructure, which could be good. Depending on what municipalities/provinces decide to spend it on.
