Liberal government's high immigration policy created housing crisis: report

Liberal's high immigration policy created housing crisis: report | Toronto Sun

Has anyone with half a brain has known all along, immigration or rather population growth in excess of our housing growth has caused the housing crisis. There is no other factor that is relevant at this point.

Now after 10 years of causing the problem they want to fix the problem

 

We make the problem, we fix the problem.  This is basically the equivalent of a glass company throwing bricks through people's windows with their business card attached.

We make the problem so that we can fix it by funneling money into companies of our choosing.

That is the Liberal way.

We should have a public discussion about this, perhaps in the English language debate.

But, oh, sorry, Immigration is not important enough to be discussed in a national election debate.

Yeah I noticed that wasn't on the list for the english debates. In fact the list of topics very heavily favors the liberals

it includes "who's best to lead in a crisis",  who's best to handle the tariff and soverignty threat, climate change and lastly affordability  

Well it's not like we expected them to play fair.

I take it you don't understand how immigration or math works. How shocking.

I imagine they'll talk about it, but the Orange Blob is still sucking all of the oxygen out of the room.  Poilievre has embraced and promoted the stupidification of the Conservative Party, and while he's been ranting about woke, the WEF and shouting his slogans, undecided voters couldn't help but notice the similarities with Trumpism.  

That's not a bogeyman that the media invented - it's the image that little PP has cultivated all on his own, and it was working...until it stopped.

Then they use their credit cards to renovate them, increasing the value to $4.5M, like herbie used to do.

You mean how he and his party are pro-choice, in favour of immigration, believe in international law and want to cooperate with allies? Isn't Trumpism the opposite of that? Has he demonized minorities or immigrants? Has he spoken of how great Putin is? Has he claimed elections are stolen? Explain this 'trumpism' to me. 

Woke is an American concept. The people who can be described as woke follow American ideology and American policies. it's all pumped across the border and then put into law by the Liberals and other left wing governments. There isn't a single homegrown belief among them. From Canada being 'illegitimate' to BLM to drag queens reading to kiddies, to transgenderism, to colleges and universities full of professors completely caught up in critical race theory, intersectionality, and cultural relativism.

Why shouldn't Canadians want that removed? It's all foreign to our country. It's all very, very American. That's a natural response from all small-c conservatives who want to preserve the existing values, traditions, and order and not make changes unless proven to be better for our society.

And, in fact, Poilievre has hardly mentioned it since becoming the opposition leader. He mentions it in passing, but his focus has been on economic and fiscal issues, as well as affordability, crime, and foreign interference.

And what has really harmed him is not people turning away from him but people turning away from the NDP. At least ten points of Liberal support came from the NDP supporters terrified that Trump is coming for their wine spritzers and macadamia butter.

Basically everything with that is wrong. I've seen you talk about politics before you're not a complete imbecile, so you're either desperate or lying to yourself for some other reason.

Poilievre has avoided almost all culture war issues or conspiracy nonsense and it's focused on the very real problems the Canadians are facing. He's proposed crime solutions, he's proposed housing solutions, he's proposed economic solutions, he's proposed aid for the elderly.

And there is absolutely no doubt looking at virtually all of the polls that if anything people are looking at him and warming up to him. Is approval rating is creeping up fairly significantly and he is radically closed the gap with Carney. And that trend has been continuing for a week now. Is polling numbers are improving. And he currently is sitting at the same point that harper won his majority at. Any other time in history this would be a majority government, but the far left is joining the liberals out of Hatred, bigotry, and a fear of trump

The fear of trump has been dying down and people are suddenly realizing that no matter what orange man does they still need a place to live and food to eat. And they're looking at the insane number of gaffes That carney is making and they are losing faith in him

Does the slogan thing way too much, there's no doubt. He's got to drop that nonsense, he does very well when he's just talking to people. Connie does very bad in debates but then again people have a low expectation for him so we'll see how it turns out

Who's desperate here?  Poilievre's campaign is the one that's flailing.  I'm trying to explain why so many Canadians dislike and distrust him, and why it looks like he could actually be losing against an incumbent government that shouldn't have even the slightest chance.

Right, so ranting about the WEF and globalist elites, undermining central banking and plugging crypto currencies were all focused on the "very real problems" of Canadian households?   

He avoided the culture-war nonsense while spending the last 3 years ranting about woke culture, woke policy, woke ideology, the woke criminal justice agenda and the Liberal's "radical woke agenda"?

No offense, but that's utter nonsense.  He talks about it constantly.  He brings it up all over the place, and was even doing it today, in MTL:

Just read that sentence out loud to yourself... 

While the Orange Blob is playing vandal to the USA's economy, reputation and justice system, and while Canadians watch nervously, genius Poilievre is still out there ranting about radical this and woke that, and pledging to overrule the Supreme Court on criminal sentencing?  Like...WTAF!?
