Dougie deserves it. Half the shit people are upset about in this country are provincial responsibilities anyway, like housing supply. Policies like the housing accelerated fund can be painted like government over reach, but when a whole nation is blaming the feds for something that is more realistically their premeirs problem, the feds have to do something and i think the fund is a good middle ground. I hope it ends up spurring more density within cities and villages across the country.

This is one of my biggest complaints living in Ontario. So many people blamed JT for things that were more realistically Doug's responsibility, yet they voted Doug back in cause its easier to just blame Trudeau than it is to actually change the ways we build housing (housing accelerator fund to spur rezoning and devlopment), move people (Doug building hwys instead of rail and transit while also ripping out bike lanes), and generate energy (remove the carbon tax instead of investing in green energy that wouldn't be subject to the tax).
