"Started" usually means a shovel in the ground. Its vaporware as its always been.

We can build a Canada where families can afford a home of their own to raise their kids.

We can build a Canada where seniors can find a place to live next to their grandkids.

We can build a Canada where the people who build our houses and work in our communities can afford to live in them.

Funny to sees this when the new housing minister says prices won't fall, because boomers need the money to retire.

Carney himself said the same thing, prices couldn't fall.

I knew when Trudeau raised capital gains taxes that it wouldn't gather a single dime before it was revoked. In my opinion everything around Freeland's letter and the capital gains hike was an orchestrated attempt to replace Trudeau.

Well I'm just speculating where this is going, that the US wants to control our legal system in exchange for tariff relief.

So capitalism leads to fascism, and its socialism we want; is that right?

Its not the 8% annual money supply growth that is skyrocketing home values via the cantillon effect and devaluing your salary, its "capitalism".

The problem as far as I've read from Sam Cooper is the lack of policies like racketeering laws in Canada, thus we are used worldwide by criminal entities for laundering money. Which is likely the larger issue Trump has with drugs, and likely is a big reason how housing in Vancouver can be millions of dollars when the median salary is less than 70k.

Theres a long form interview here, Sam Cooper is a journalist who wrote Wilfull Blindness:

Everyone should have a separate one for their finances, that they dont give out to anyone except banks and brokerages.

The founder of this organization was clearly grifting money using these green funds. I'm sure she wants that to continue.

Snowden may disagree with that.

She helped Germany de-provision their nuclear energy via emotion driven policy, so they could inevitably deploy coal to avoid deindustrialization.

Albertan oil has displaced a massive amount of coal, which has actually lead to a reduction in c02 emissions.

If you want to fight climate change more effective actions would be rezoning housing federally for unlimited density based on a total free market like Japan did, and investing in mass transit. We do still remain the only country in the G7 without high speed rail.

The problem is climate change is used as a political grift to attract votes, they dont actually care about fighting it, if you did you'd also be cutting off Chinese imports and dealing with a tidal wave of mortgage defaults from inflation and higher interest rates.
