So we suck less? I really hate that way of apologetic pandering. We should aim for excellence rather than sucking less. We're not even close to excellence.
Except....we don't suck. Like it or not, it's reality. I swear, some of the people I see online and meet IRL who chirp this nonense turn out to be some of the least travelled people out there, who's entire meltal image of the world around them is emcompassed solely from inside our own borders, and based on viewpoints and mental images spoon fed to them via social media.
In early december I was in Haiti. We were on a glorious little tiny sliver of Haiti run by a cruise line and very, VERY well protected, but Haiti. A lot of people who visited that day surely left with a mental image of Haiti being this glorious little sliver of heaven on earth, because that little sliver of Hait really was. But the reality is that
Haiti is a total ******** overrun with gangs, violence, murders, and poverty, the levels of all of those at and well beyond what anyone living in first world countries like ours could never begin to comprehend.
My point? Peoples images are formed based on what they perceive to experience, often shaped. by those they surround themselves with as well. What they "feel". What they choose to see. But often, reality is often very different. This is basically the reverse of what seems to be happening to a percentage of Canadians - they've convinced themselves it's horrible here. They've BEEN convinced. They don't look outside their own borders and step back and look around (or don't WANT to because it might contradict their preconceived ideas) to realise it's not reality..
People on that little sliver of heaven in Haiti probably went home thinking Haiti is awesome because they've never bothered to educate themselves outside that little sliver. Reverse that situation here in Canada, and you have people actually legitimately thinking Canada sucks.
Not only is it on their website, he literally made a short documentary-style video about this within the last month
So, I watched your video. Now go read the rebuttals to it.
Despite highlighting the role of investors in artificially increasing the cost of housing across Canada, “Housing Hell,” Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre’s mini-documentary on the housing crisis, ends up proposing measures that will further enrich the same property developers and investors...

In short, it's a lot about "removing red tape" and making forceful efforts to force new homes into being built, but again, we come full circle to this very thread about 3-4 pages back where the realities of just waving this magic wand and yelling at private companies to build homes they might not want to (or simply can't) buid isn't an actual real world solution.
Meanwhile neither Trudeau or Singh even answer a question about it, much less talk about a plan.

"Conservative deputy leader Melissa Lantsman says Canadians will learn how her party plans to "rein in" government spending, and what cuts that may entail, during the next federal election campaign."
"Her comments come after a pair of Liberal MPs took to the House of Commons foyer on Tuesday to decry what they saw as a lack of information around what Poilievre's plans are, more than a year into his leadership, but potentially still years away from the next campaign."

They're ALL playing the same game, despite Poilvre dribbling out things like "housing hell" to say a lot about nothing in the end.
Inaccurate. Again, he's actually made a documentary video about this within the last month. Probably because left-leaning parties keep saying this despite the fact that they themselves neither have a plan, nor do they answer any questions about what they'll do.
See above comments.
Personally, I dislike ALL our options right now. All 3 should be flushed and we should start over, maybe we could get some new people that I could palatably vote for.
