Look no further to the scandal that's coming out of Doug Ford's Conservative government in relation to the green belt initiative. More corruption and handouts to robber barons, who care nothing about creating affordable housing for all. The BC Liberals also pushed through similar corrupt polices here in BC, which if anything has created many of the problems we're dealing with in this province today. My confidence is very low on these guys. EDIT: Traum already touched on that fact before I read his post. |

Part of me wonders what happened to our countries? This problem is in the US as well. Why were these governments so willing and able to attack these massive problems within our countries back in the 60s and 70s? From infrastructure to housing, the federal government in both countries were able to pass through these sweeping initiatives to raise the standard of living for their entire country. Once the 80s and 90s came around both countries decimated investment in public goods. Nowadays the Fed in either country can barely build a damn bridge or other type of infrastructure upgrade without fiscal pushback. This idea of Reganomics has really left a lasting impact all the way to today, it's amazing just how far we've deviated in sane public policy here. |

On the other hand, having a municipal gov to take this on is entirely the wrong approach. For one thing, the scale that a city would be able to take on is far too small. Furthermore, with municipal govs not being allowed to run deficit budgets (at least in BC), it severely limits the financial capacity of the program, which means it really can't do very much. Ideally, it should really be a provincial program, in collaboration with municipal governments. |

This shows you how feckless Trudeau is on the topic of federal funding for housing. Back in May he promised renewed and further funding from the feds for housing, to be rolled out this fall: https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tru...ture-1.6856234 Fast forward to August of this year to which he then pivots to the idea that housing is not a federal issue? https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/tru...nces-1.6924290 Am I missing something here? |
Turd is literally digging his own grave. He can easily score some brownie points in Ontario if he orders the Environment Minster to shut down the Green Belt projects, but so far, he has not shown any indication to intervene. And now he flip-flops on a promise to address housing, which is the current hot button issue in at least the 3 biggest Canadian cities? I wonder what his advisors are telling him these days, and how he plans on chasing that double digit gap behind the Conservatives... |

Lol @ Manic still convinced that Justin actually gives a shit about anyone |
I find it odd that anyone who knows how the Canadian government operates thinks that any individual as the PM really can take the credit or the blame for anything going on in this country. This is decades of policy from liberals and cons that put us in this financial mess. I read an article that says the current government is the FIRST federal government to even draft up a Canadian housing policy. This needed to be done decades ago. If you're 40 and you are in certain situations in your life, good or bad, you can be sure that a lot of them were dictated by decisions you made in your 20s. Whoever gets in whether it's cons or Libs next round, we are going to watch another decade going by with the same things happening. Switch out Trudeau for any other leader for the liberals for the last 8 years and results would have been nearly identical. Individual politicians are just representatives for the parties at large. |
It's kind of tired, I distinctly remember when I was younger that people talked about discussing things with their local representative, etc. I don't know if they're just less accessible nowadays or if people are just lazy and it's easier to sit back and say "Fuck 'insert figurehead here'" The only people who vote for Trudeau are the ones in his constituency. Everyone else elected someone they can and should access if they care sooooo much. Also, if people knew much about how their government operates (I'm sure everyone says they do, but very few actually do) the PM is just the mouthpiece and final sign-off on some things here and there. Everything is delegated and, if they're a good manager, they're operating and actioning things on advice from their ministers who supposedly did a lot of due diligence. |
Oh there’s blame enough to go around with the entire Liberal cabinet. Also it’s kind of rich when it comes to Canadian politics it’s a group effort, but there is this raging hard on for trump politics and trump only. Like he is the entirety of his party. |
What people should be asking, perhaps even moreso than if their elected representative is in the majority party, is what is their representative doing when they're NOT in the majority party? Are they just sitting there every day coming up with memes or ways to insult the current establishment? Or are they trying to work on stuff that might move their constituent's concerns forward in a collaborative manner that could benefit everyone even from a position of non-confidence? I think being an elected member of the opposition party nowadays has become like a free pass to do fuck all for 4 years the way things are currently set up. They just go in and decide to be a professional heckler no matter whether they agree or not with what's going on. |

Just like Damon Wayans character JT is a minority because he is half Cuban. PP is the lastest hype. I cannot vote for a person who used racism and fear to try to win an election. |

I'm black and I don't give a fuck he did black face, no one does outside of white Con voters grasping for straws. Intent is EVERYTHING. To JT's credit, he's never shown be to be a racist, not with his words, or his policy. If anything the black face was simply poor taste in a time where doing such a thing was less frowned upon. Prince Harry wore a Nazi costume for Halloween one year, I don't think anyone would think he's an actual racist. His lifetime actions would prove such. |
Obviously I realize that, it’s just very ironic coming from Manic, which I guess shouldn’t be a surprise. |
Trudeau as Damon Wayans in the Great White Hype is the best shit I've read on here in awhile |
