Thank you for this. I really dislike how Pierre tends to be very misleading with charts and stats.

The one chart I keep referring to is the one between the US and Canada. I'm sure we've seen it, or one like it. In my personal opinion, it's not selectively a "Trudeau" issue, but a series of policies and global circumstances that has led to where we are today, Federally, provincially, and among our local municipal governments. We can't move forward without actually looking at things as objectively as we can.

If we can agree that policies can impact the economic and housing situation in situ of its local, which I think they do, then we can look at policies at all levels, (ie municipal, provincial, federal), in order to improve our Canadian situation. How much can be done is another conversation, but we control our local government more than the worlds.

100% fair. It would be better to look at this from a policy implementation and solution perspective than playing the blame game which seems to trigger our tribalism. Question period anyone?

It's more complex than just saying it's only a Federal issue, or that Canada is alone in this, but I think it would be foolish to think they haven't played a role.

Lets take the right or left out of this and keep discussions above board, calling opinions "insultingly childish right wing talking points" doesn't do us any favours.
