The plan so far is to build 1 million homes in three years. They plan on attaining this by playing hardball with those who get in the way, municipalities and the NIMBYS who govern them are going to have federal funding withheld for getting in the way of new housing starts. There’s also going to be extra funds granted for jurisdictions that go beyond the “quota”. A lot of our housing issues are due to red tape and local government interference. To paraphrase, he’s said if those municipalities don’t want to play ball that’s fine, but their easy federal cash is going to be given to those that make it easy to build housing. As for inflation if I recall correctly he wants to limit new carbon taxes, I’d have to look up if he wants to reverse all or some of what is already in place.
Bro shut the fuck up. "Build more homes" won't do shit unless they're affordable, which they 100% will not be from the cons. Look at Doug Ford for exactly what they'll be doing. They'll blast through environmental protections and force municipalities to build costly, unsustainable sprawl that will get bought up by corporations and speculators trying to make a profit.
As for inflation, carbon taxes have 0 impact whatsoever. Inflation is being driven by corporate greed, which will get even worse with the cons.
I have a bridge to sell you. None of that shit will be affordable. Ontario is a good example of the damage this fucker will do.
