    Housing was a lot cheaper back then. You could say he built 200k affordable houses, at least relative to now.

    NDP on the other hand in 2023 supplied cheap labor to Tim Hortons to serve par baked trans fat, which they call “small business”.

    The UN called it “modern slavery” as they live in horrible conditions on account of the existing housing shortage.

      It’s always 1-2 month old accounts posting this kind of garbage. It’s almost like it’s timed to coincide with some noteworthy political event.

        Was anything I said incorrect, its literally cited right there.

        I just find it rich to complain about affordable housing when Jagmeet did everything in his power to raise home values. But as a lawyer in a Rolex who drives a BMW its about what I’d expect.

        Its also not even the extent of it. The Federal government is also deregulating banks to extend amortizations, and buying half of all mortgage bonds to juice full recourse debt for the young. Is any of this sinking in or have you got another ad hominem retort?

          Your “citations” do not say the things that you claim they do.

          Yes, Canada has an issue with migrants workers being treated poorly. The conclusions you draw about this are at best misinformed, and at worst downright lies.

          The CPC is using housing issues as a scapegoat. We can support our immigration markers. We have failed to do so, but the answer isn’t to halt immigration; it’s to build homes, and enact laws and policies to ensure those homes go to Canadian citizens who intend to live in them. But, as always, conservatives would rather blame brown people than solve problems. What a fuckin’ twist.

            Just get it affordable first then, get the housing completions up. Have empathy for the poor, not for Tim Hortons.

              “Have empathy for the poor” he says, while insisting migrants from 3rd world countries stay where they are.

              I am advocating for empathy first. You are advocating for empathy only after we have ours. Your hypocrisy is palpable.

                Its the UN saying so a well, as I said.

                We are largely fooling these people, pretending we can support them.

                  I have no way to respond to this both honestly and in a way that doesn’t either inherently insult your intelligence, or call you out for what I believe you are. So, on the off chance that I am mistaken about what your account is, apologies.

                  Your citations do not say what you think they say, and the conclusions you are attempting to draw from them are incorrect. You are, in no uncertain terms, using true facts to make dishonest, or simply painfully stupid conclusions. And I think your two month old account which has almost exclusively posted CPC propaganda exists to do this on purpose. Consider building a real platform focused on the needs of Canadian, instead of playing identity politics all day and seeking to tear down political opponents. But, if they did that, the CPC would be a fundamentally different party, so I clearly am asking for too much.

                  Stop insulting the intelligence of Canadians everywhere with these inane attempts to mislead us, and fuck off.

          You’re just jealous because he’s educated and has more money than you do.

          Keep on whining buddy boy.

            Such a great capitalist he is. He clearly won the game of life and he really likes to flaunt it.
