So the JT special snowflake announced a new federal housing benefit / initiative to make housing more affordable.
Liberals to pour billions into affordable housing, including individual benefits - NEWS 1130
I'd really appreciate it if some of our smart RS members break it down into what the grandeur mumbo jumbo means to the average middle and low-income classes. From what I can see:
- more bleeding heart policies to blow our federal budget on low-income families
- big $$$ to fix up rickety shacks through grants and loans that are unlikely to get re-paid
- mandatory matching funds from provinces if they opt in
- empty 2019 election bait since the $$$ tap doesn't start flowing until after 2019
My apologies for being the cynical pessmistic bastard that I am.
