We basically flip between Liberal and Conservative on schedule. Trudeau took a gamble on positive numbers calling the last election early but I think his brand is essentially dead. PP is getting a huge image treatment right now if you’ve seen his tanned face and new persona, like they’re throwing full weight in to making him relatable, and you can tell what a massive effort that is lol. I don’t see too much of a material difference between LPC and CPC though, CPC is more shameless but the things LPC does to sovereign nations inside our country should be setting off more alarm bells than they are. People forget those treaties are with the Crown not the Canadian government. Also fuck the Liberals for not changing the vote, they campaigned so hard on that and I can’t believe I fell for it first time around. NDP are polling decently well too but with the voting being what it is they’re screwed. Although I’m not a huge fan of Jagmeet and how he became leader and think NDP need to do better with their branding and messaging, right now it’s like “we’re liberals but more authentic” but they need to be more forthcoming with the economic vision and why it will benefit everyone regardless of their identity. A straight white tradesman needs to get the message that he has just as much interest in voting NDP as a nonconforming individual, and I think they really need to tie these messages back to the economic benefit and power of having solidarity with others in achieving material political goals.
A lot of NDP voters where I am at, but PP is going to get my vote. Cost of living is my #1 voting issue and Pierre is the only one I’ve even heard talking about it.
NDP and Liberals just don’t care about how much money I have left in my pockets at the end of the month, they think it’s all theirs anyways
On housing PP wants to “remove beurocracy” for developers which means they can build what will maximize their profits with less regard for regulations, and with the huge demand for housing this allows them to cater to mid-upper range of home buyers and cut corners. Milton and north Oakille are good case studies for this strategy where it’s basically all dual-income managerial workers and white collar professionals living in blocked out subdivisions with cheaply made “luxury” homes.
Liberals just pulled their move today by waiving GST for rental unit developers but as usual it’s a pandering half-measure.
NDP share the tax GHT/HST waiving for renters in their housing policy on top of using under-utilized federal land to build social and co-op housing right away, as well as forcing developers to build affordable housing with the communities and municipalities having more say. They also want to extend CMHC insured mortgages for first-time buyers to 30 years so people’s monthly payments would be less. Although I think the down payment is the hurdle for most.
I’ll tell you a secret nothing he does well influence it. Sure cost might godown but won’t be because of any one running the country. If the president doesn’t matter for the Is economy I would assume it’s the same for us.

Great summary, and good insight imo

Short memory huh? Why do you think we are in such a mess in the first place?
