To be fair, we basically just elected a Biden-style neoliberal who is slightly to the right of Trudeau. As affordability continues to gradually decline, our Trump (Poilievre) or a similar guy will be even more empowered. We're basically a few years behind the USA right now and your right are actively trying to speed it up.
The fact that they're creating a crown corporation to build homes on public and private land is huge. This includes prefab and modular homes too. They're even committing to using Canadian lumber.
We cannot contunue to rely on capitulating to and deregulating private developers and expecting them to act in any way other than own self-interest. They have no incentive to bring down the cost of homes. It is now crystal clear that the neo-liberal solution does not work.
A crown corporation that exists to create housing rather than maximize shareholder value is a massive step in the right direction. Frankly, I'm surprised Carney is doing this but happy about it all the same.
I expect Carney to get pushback from Doug Ford who is firmly in the pocket of private real estate investors.

Idk about you all but when I'm overworked, sometimes when I get free time, I finally have a chance to just exist and do nothing for once.
~(Also, all of the research on UBI show that when people don't have to work, they still choose to)~
Data hoarders where you at?
No, reddit is not removing downvotes. The post was alluding to when they removed displaying downvotes scores.

These quotes got me lmao
"My favorite part of Blade Runner is when the main character, John Bladerunner, ran over all those blades," one Reddit user offered.
One pointed out that in the original "Blade Runner," a former police officer named Rick Deckard, who was played by Harrison Ford, "did drive a car which could fly, was safe, and didn’t look like dogshit."
Between all of his recent bills, Ford is attempting to create zones where provincial laws don't apply, allow himself to hand-pick judges, and easily take over school boards.
This is authoritarianism.
