    All this would be solved if the left leaders would actually fix affordability. This is the only real reason I see so many voting right. Nobody can afford shit and they blame the left.

      The Crown corp and modular homes seems like a pretty great way of adding a lot of affordable homes. I just hope the government lasts long enough for it to actually kick off. It’s not perfect and it doesn’t solve capitalism, but it will help if executed well.

      If I were to bet, I’d say we’ll see the effects just in time for an election, and cpc will take over and take the credit.

      Problem is it’s not the left’s fault. The world is blaming the leaders but it’s happening globally. The real problem is a few have all the wealth.

      That’s the key here - the Liberals under Trudeau waited too long to move on affordability, and then they didn’t do enough. I hope Carney & co can show quick improvements in housing so the CPC is less attractive.

      if the left leaders would actually fix affordability

      I’m sorry; it’s the sole responsibility of the left? Is their “we’ll raise the tide a little and float all the boats” not as glamorous as the right’s “first we’ll cut taxes, bankrupt medical and transit, and then let someone else take it from there” plan?
