Dude last election the conservatives won the popular vote. You’re saying a third of Canadians aren’t… Canadian? Get out of your parents basement or whatever echo chamber you’re living in and see that there’s a lot more grey than the black and white you’re spitting. This is why people don’t take hard lefties seriously because of your absolute dogshit zealot takes.
The plan so far is to build 1 million homes in three years. They plan on attaining this by playing hardball with those who get in the way, municipalities and the NIMBYS who govern them are going to have federal funding withheld for getting in the way of new housing starts. There’s also going to be extra funds granted for jurisdictions that go beyond the “quota”. A lot of our housing issues are due to red tape and local government interference. To paraphrase, he’s said if those municipalities don’t want to play ball that’s fine, but their easy federal cash is going to be given to those that make it easy to build housing. As for inflation if I recall correctly he wants to limit new carbon taxes, I’d have to look up if he wants to reverse all or some of what is already in place.
I would love to support the NDP, I’m a union tradesman and they used to be my party. Jack Layton should have been PM in 2011, and it still hurts thinking of how quickly we lost him shortly thereafter. Jagmeet doesn’t do it for me, you’re right he comes off as a pretender trying to lower himself to be one of “us”.
I’m optimistic on Poilievre playing hardball with the country for what I think matters most in this election which is inflation and housing. I don’t like everything he has to say, especially the crypto bullshit which thankfully he dropped, but maybe he and the conservatives are what we need to get things back on track.
Great addition to the conversation, your retort has made me see the error of my ways.
I’ve voted NDP more than I have conservative. I dislike many things about Poilievre, but I believe he’s got the best chance of reigning in inflation and housing issues. He’s proposing playing hardball and that plays with a lot of Canadians right now who are feeling the absolute shitshow of the last 8 years.
Or wait what about that one where he used Morneau as a fall guy for the scammy charity his family was deeply involved in.
Or do you mean the time he dismissed the attorney general for not playing ball on the SNC Lavalin affair.
And Trudeau and Freeland do?
Like calling an election in the middle of a pandemic because your numbers are falling fast?
Poilievre was adopted to parents of modest means who had to sell their house in the crash of the 80’s.
Wonder if Trudeau had silver cutlery in the 80’s.
Wow what a shit article.
Edit: tell me how you really feel Lemmy, he’s likely going to win the next election even if it’s a minority.
Nothing like a little casual eugenics haha, amiright? Haha
Thank god somebody who finally has something to say other than hurr hurr small pp.
I know the program is different from province to province but the criteria to qualify in BC absolutely sucks. Two people working full time on minimum wage with or without a child don’t even qualify for a full credit. Literally only the lowest earners or those on disability or the like get all of it.
21C in the winter and 19C in the summer
During the winter up north it’s bleak and cold for the trades, I’ll see the sun for an hour or so when I wake up. Personally I wake up every other hour during daytime sleeps, so I’m rarely well rested.
But the pay bump is quite good, and there’s way less supervision micromanaging you.
Anyone legitimately curious it’s saying welding fumes are harmful. The thing on the left is a welding stinger for stick welding.
Well that was a mind boggling read.
