    I mean, they’re absolutely right, but this has big pot-calling-kettle-black energy: the LPC had control of the housing file since 2015 and pretty much sat on their hands during the worst affordability crisis in, well, ever.

    Neither party is philosophically equipped to do what needs to be done (tax the wealthy, directly build public housing at scale, use punitive tax measures to prevent speculation, ensure services are available before bringing in immigrants en masse) because both parties are absolutely committed to neoliberal orthodoxy, and neither is willing to stop the money train.

      1. Milhouse calls hair guy bad
      2. Hair guy shows the receipts
      3. #bothSides
      4. Why switch then, just to get a bag of other really cruel, bad ideas as well with no improvement to housing?

        I mean, you’re right. It’s just unfortunate that the choice is between milquetoast neoliberalism and proto-fascist neoliberalism.

          I’ve never had a federal ballot with less than 4 choices.

          As long as people are convinced that there’s only 2 choices. Conservatives and Liberals politicians will remain winner and Canadian will be losers.

          Nah. Trudeau talks milquetoast liberalism, passes proto-fascist legislation. The choice is that or good old asshole conservatives.

        Maybe some of us want some rights left by 2030. People don’t seem to realize how fascist the liberal leaders are, just look at all their legislation. If the truly far right ever get in charge, these clowns have already done the preliminary work.
