We can't fix the housing crisis in Canada without understanding how it was created. Pierre Poilievre is quick to point out the problem, but his "solutions" are to do more of what we've been doing for the last thirty years that caused the problem in the first place.

Unbridled market economics caused the housing crisis and won't be able to fix it on their own. Non-market housing – including affordable, social, non-profit and cooperative housing – is required to relieve the crisis.

Correct. Building core infrastructure (housing) shouldn't be totally privatized as it was in the 90's. Poilievre is just selling the cause of the crisis as the cure as his rich developer backers have told him to do.

Dan, you should listen to what you said. The NDP hatred of the conservatives is affecting the way you thing. At one point you claim it was the Harper government who cut housing but 30 seconds before you specifically said it happened under the Libs in 1995 and here you are supporting the Libs. 🤷‍♂️

You misunderstand. I came from S’pore. Govt housing there works because bureaucracy is very efficient. If a civil servant fails in his job, he is fired. In Canada, we have bloated bureaucracy in all 3 levels of govt. I wouldn’t trust them to build ANY housing.

@PureShakti Go back even further, there was a ton me where CMHC's predecessor actually built the houses, and was a property manager(post-war). If a Crown Corp could do it then, it could do it now. I hope to see this in the next platform.

Excuse me Daniel but I vigorously disagree w ur comment. @PierrePoilievre has been my MP for 19 years and I can assure you Pierre has never ever had a “solution “ about anything… NEVER!!

Why is Calgary cheaper than Toronto? Because rent control doesn't work but building housing does. Allow people and/or govt to build the housing people need

Mark Carruthers3 years ago

Well said.👍👍 And what the Ontario Conservative government is doing right now, in addition to building on the Green Belt, is not going to help the housing issue, but rather primarily create profits to contractors building homes for the wealthiest.😡

Wow. Canada’s Housing Minister refuses to admit that the Liberal policy to massively increase immigration into Canada was a major factor in the doubling of housing costs over the past 10 years. If they won’t recognize what caused the problem, how can we trust them to fix it?

We can be mad at Trump all we want. He’s doing what he said he would - putting America first. Problem WE have is that every Liberal for the past 9 years hasn’t done the same for Canada. Now we’re vulnerable as a result. Liberals don’t get the chance to “fix” what they broke. Pierre Poilievre has been steadfast in his plan that puts Canada first.

Justin Trudeau promised to fix the housing crisis but he's failed to deliver. Pierre Poilievre talks a big game, but his solution is the same it's always been — stack the deck for the rich and powerful. You can't trust those who created this mess to fix it.

Canadians are in desperate need of affordable housing. For too long, the Liberals and Conservatives have allowed our housing market to be overrun by corporate landlords. We can't trust those who created the problem to fix it.

Republicans are open to fixing the health care problem the Democrats created, but we've got to do it in a way that actually solves the problem and lowers costs for the American people.

Brutal segment on the border for Kamala: Whittaker: There was a historic flood of migrants coming over the border … Was it a mistake to loosen the immigration policies as much as you did? Kamala: It’s a longstanding problem. And solutions are at hand. And from day 1 literally we have been offering solutions.. Whittaker: What I’m asking - was it a mistake to allow that flood to happen in the first place Kamala: The policies that we have been proposing are about fixing a problem, not promoting a problem. Whittaker: But the numbers did quadruple under your watch.. Kamala: We have cut the flow of illegal immigration by half.. Whittaker: But should you have done that 3 years ago?

Ezra Levant asks Pierre Poilievre "Back in May, Gregor Robertson, Mark Carney's housing minister, was asked if he wanted the price of housing to come down, and he said no." "How do you balance reducing the cost of housing for young families, but also protecting what may be the only nest egg for some seniors and boomers? Where do you draw the balance? How would you like to see pricing?" Poilievre "So, first of all, I just think we need to acknowledge that it is incredible that Mark Carney would pick Gregor Robertson as his housing minister." "After that, when he was the mayor, Vancouver's housing costs went up by 150%, driven almost entirely by municipal taxes." "So the guy who created the worst housing market in North America, forget Canada." "And what I'm saying is, let's cut the government cost out of housing." "Get rid of the sales tax, cut the development charges in half, speed up the permits, zero tax on reinvested gains." "If you get the government cost out of building homes, then the buyer, the seller, and the builder will all be winners at the same time." Pierre Poilievre Ezra Levant 🍁🚛

Netanyahu: There is one challenge in particular—what I call the "Manhattan Project." We will be the first in the world to solve the problem of explosive drones. It is a global problem. But we are going to solve it.

The housing crisis isn't just a metro problem. Communities across Greater Minnesota have been struggling for years. As governor, and with Ben Schierer as my lieutenant governor, we’ll fix it. We can support rural communities that want to build more homes and lower the cost of housing across the state.

The clock is ticking, Pierre Poilievre! It has been 300 days since Pierre Poilievre was named leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. That is 300 days without a real climate plan!

Pierre Poilievre lays it out: Mark Carney was behind the highest inflation in the G7 — 11% in the UK. He devastated the cost of housing and crushed the middle class. Now he wants to bring that SAME destruction to Canada. We can’t afford Carney’s chaos

Pierre Poilievre is in Hamilton today where one of his candidates says predatory housing speculation made him a millionaire—and says everyone else should flip homes too. Why would people trust Pierre Poilievre to fix housing when his own candidates are profiting off the crisis?
