That's why I'm intrigued by Carney proposing the build Canada homes company..... Will be interesting to see since we did something like that during WW2 that saw the feds build the housing and set the price?

Yet those same people were screeching about how Trudeau was making healthcare worse and that the childcare deal "was a waste of money". Mother fuckers your province MANAGES THAT SHIT
THANK YOU. Nothing stood out more to me over the last 5+ years then people who are completely ignorant of how our government is structured and who manages what and who is responsible for what.
And surprise, nobody fucking understood that healthcare, education, infrastructure, and housing (until the last two years) are ALL provincial responsibilities. And yet people refuse to vote in provincial elections or pay attention to them, and keep voting in conservatives who refuse to expand public healthcare, cut education, and spend frivolous amounts of money on Infrastructure thats for the fossil fuel industry. 🙄
Which is.... What the liberals are proposing aswell? See, the liberals and the NDP and every other party except the conservatives have the bandwidth to actually do multiple things at once. Bring the rate of immigration down and raise the rate of home building up, and then we can slowly increase immigration for those who have the skills we need
I believe the foreign temporary worker program was definately being abused and that's what they were talking about.... Regular immigration is not bad and Canada needs it desperately
I don't think the liberals are just offering talking points. They are talking unity, which is what we need right now, and even before Carney the liberals were taking strides to fix our problems but you were all just eating up instagram and tiktok reels with Pierre spitting bullshit at you like: THE CARBON TAX ELECTION
Yeah prefabrication is the way to go to accelerate tonthebratebof houses we need right now
Well sure he's guilty, but uhhhh, death penalty worthy? Idk
They're just lazy and/or bots
With the increasing of construction there is an immediate need to invest in tradespeople. That isn't something missing from the liberals, every party is on the same page in that regard. The cutting of GST on first time home buyers and easing municipal bylaws and taxes on homes will lower construction costs. If they want to have funding by the government to connect their new housing plans to existing infrastructure as to lessen the burden on the municipalities and the costs taken on by the builder, fine, as long as they state that this must be for affordable or have a profit cap on the construction of that home that has been able to be built by the federal funds used.
I'll tell first hand that the construction industry is fucking greedy and they are liars. We will price a job out and jack the mark up to 20-30, even 40%%, and they are still going up, because they are all in agreement. That they can ride the gravy train of "things just keep getting more expensive".
This debate just highlighted that any working class conservatives who are fed up with the liberals, should be voting for the NDP.... And any richer, upper middle class conservatives should be voting for the liberals, and only the goddamn greediest mother fuckers would want the conservatives to win. They refuse to acknowledge that we cannot spend the next 10 years building a fucking 4000km pipeline for oil to the east coast.... We don't NEED to ship oil out east, we need to ship oil out west if anything.
Anyways, the debate was very good and really gave us a good look at the party leaders. But I just see Carney as being the guy for those middle of the road conservatives who are socially progressive but fiscally conservative, especially after ten year of JT.
The conservatives want the GST off ALL new homes. The liberals just want the GST of First time home buyers buying new homes. The conservatives plan is just a 5% break for rich people buying houses, the liberals housing plan might actually see the new houses being built as affordable for first time home buyers over 30yrs with 5% down.
