Congrats to the conservative party for their 2027 majority
Motherfucker ran on lowering house prices. Why did he appoint this pissbeast?!?
former governor of the Bank of England
austerity
Never been happier to have not voted. Fuck this country and their goddamn scantron elections.
Because he lied
I tried to lathe a world where Trump tanked the Tories' numbers so bad that the NDP won opposition (which has happened before), but I guess I severely underestimated the racism of the Canadian electorate.
Liberal voters once again win:
Liberal voters want affordable housing as long as it doesn't cost anything or reduce the value of their property, if anything they should be happy with this this kind of nonsense statement
Of course a former mayor of a city that's the poster child for the housing crisis in this overpriced trash heap of a country is the housing minister lol.
Was gonna mention it too.
Higher housing supply, not lowering home prices, are the solution for Canada’s housing crisis
Okay, so here's the thing about that...
“We have chosen protecting property values”.
Cool, how’d that work out for California?
Say that again Mr housing minister
And then next election libs wonder why they're losing hard. Must be Russian or SeeSeePee interference.

even nominal non-fascism isn’t absolutely irrelevant

He said 'no' as a bit of an afterthought. Overall I did not get the feeling he has any idea what hes talking about and I'm not sure why Carney selected him. I'm guessing he was what less inclusive members of our society would refer to dismissively as a DEI hire to combat concerns around Western alienation.
In what market do you increase supply and prices do not go down? The entire purpose of increasing supply is to decrease prices and improve affordability. A more seasoned politician would have simply said that he and the liberal government is committed to improving affordability.

Canada is not the US's hat. The US is Canada's pants.
