While it may seem like something taken straight out of a conservative playbook, the construction industry across the country have been bxtching about how high interest rates is killing their ability to finance new projects.

If you ask me, I'd still think construction firms are still raking in the dough hand over fist, although they do have the very real problem of finding skilled trades people to work on their projects. But there is a housing crisis across the country, and the Cons have been using the issue as their favourite (and most effective) punching bag. So Turd has to do something to prevent himself from completely handing the election over to PeePee.

Even when it is enacted, it is not going to help anyone resolve the housing / affordability crisis soon enough, and that means it won't be the silver bullet to save Turd in the next election. But there are still years to go, and a lot more of these policies aimed at tackling the real issues might still be enough to turn the tide -- at least somewhat.
