Just another example of a disconnected politician that use the plight of the people for their thin veiled arguments in their circle jerk of "we care about the people but not enough to actually be productive in finding an appropriate solution".

Wild that Poilevre has never come across one of these houses considering they line the Lakeshore corridor and are an important part of our pre/post war history.

"Grew up a house similar" to this one but describes it as a shack. So which is it? Is it a shack or the home that's in the real-estate listing (which clearly isnt a shack) cause those are very different descriptions.

And this isn't just Poilevre, all three parties do the same shit. These people don't care about the average Canadian just what makes them look good in the moment.

PP trying to frame income/property-value disparity as a purely Canadian problem that has only happened under Trudeau is just pure fallacy. It's happening in countries all over the world and it has been growing under every government in Canada for decades.

Damn right, the real-estate bubble got started under Harper and kept going steadily under Trudeau, probably because so many politicians are also landlords or in cahoots with developers/investors (including the NDP).

Canada is eyes-deep into the "fuck you, I got mine" nightmare mentality across the entire political spectrum.
