IrateAnteater comments on Canada’s ruling Liberals sweep special elections in boost to Mark Carney

A good majority of the difficulties in their lives ought to be coloured by the fact that the Liberals were in charge, because clearly they weren't and aren't doing a terrific job.

And here we have a perfect demonstration of that problem. Tell me, which level of government in Canada is responsible for property, zoning, infrastructure, and housing in general?

I mean, provincial government as a rule, but that doesn't mean the federal government can't do anything about it. If the Liberals couldn't have solved people's problems then they shouldn't have promised they would.

Exactly. It's a provincial problem. The things that the federal government can do are indirect and slow moving.

Also, if you are going to post links as if they are proof of what you are saying, the website of their political opponents is beyond useless.

Or they can just build houses. Housing is ultimately the purview of the provinces, but the federal government can still do a lot of non-direct and slow moving stuff. Besides, it's not like provincial Liberals are doing a much better job.

Feel free to tell me which of the claimed promises weren't actually promised by the Liberals. The one about affordable housing did happen.
