The people who literally caused it are claiming he doesn't care? huh.

Housing costs have been going up dramatically since the early-90's. Having said that, Trudeau's done sweet fuck all to fix it in the last 8+ years, but the guy before him did fuck all to improve housing affordability in the 11+ years prior... In fact, it's been like this for nearly 30 years... Brian Mulroney and Jean Chretien BOTH pulled funding on housing.
So, fuck all politicians, fuck our electoral system, and especially fuck Trudeau for bathing in the applause of thousands of voters after stating that 2015's election would be the last under First-Past-The-Post.

I don't recall any other party importing more than the population of Saskatchewan in 18 months, during a pre-existing housing crisis though. It has not been like this for 30 years, it's been like this for 3. Sure things were rough if you chose to live in Vancouver. Now it's rough all over and people with any option are choosing not to live in Canada at all.

I mean, they're absolutely right, but this has big pot-calling-kettle-black energy: the LPC had control of the housing file since 2015 and pretty much sat on their hands during the worst affordability crisis in, well, ever.
Neither party is philosophically equipped to do what needs to be done (tax the wealthy, directly build public housing at scale, use punitive tax measures to prevent speculation, ensure services are available before bringing in immigrants en masse) because both parties are absolutely committed to neoliberal orthodoxy, and neither is willing to stop the money train.
I mean, you're right. It's just unfortunate that the choice is between milquetoast neoliberalism and proto-fascist neoliberalism.
Maybe some of us want some rights left by 2030. People don't seem to realize how fascist the liberal leaders are, just look at all their legislation. If the truly far right ever get in charge, these clowns have already done the preliminary work.
