Anyone who votes for liberals hoping they'll fix housing issues is an idiot. They haven't done anything about it other than give handouts. Housing prices have still gone up and its only gonna me painful to correct the housing issues in Canada.
They keep trying to push that's it's a supply issue but I see it more of a price issue. Housing is over priced. You can build all you want but at market prices it's too expensive for people to buy.
They don't want to bring the prices down because they've made their own wealth and that of other wealthy property owners, and a good chunk of Canada's economy, dependent on the prices staying high. So they have to pay lip service and make statements about how they want to make housing affordable without actually, you know, bringing the prices down.
They also don't want to bring it town because the dumb homeowners will just blame the current government when the prices correct themselves. It's suicide for any party to willingly tank the housing prices. It's only gonna get worse the longer we wait to do it. And it's gonna be global because we aren't the only country effected by it.
