Trudeau obviously sucks BUT
During the last time Polllievere was in office under Harper, the average home price went from $225000 to $512000. This snake oil salesman would have you believe two things are true at the same time; your home, you're most valuable asset will go up in value for all the elderly conservative voters out there BUT at the same time he's going to drive down prices so that homes are affordable in Vancouver. So which is it PP?
This is pretty much like everything he says, vague rhetoric, zero actual policies that can be measured in a meaningful way and the usual misleading information. I get it, hating Trudeau is super easy. He has one of the most punchable faces in the world, but that doesn't make Pierre anything that he says. The conservatives have a very, very, long history of campaigning to the shop workers and delivering for the campaign donors and the corporations they serve. Unfortunately, we have a choice between the s*** sandwich that is Trudeau or a giant douche who will do pretty much the same thing except with more service cuts and petty cruelty to the poor.
Gotta pick one!?!?
The system works. Let's stop supporting it. Vote a third party, not the corporate duopoly.

POILLEVERE'S RECORD OF FAILURE ON HOUSING WHEN LAST IN POWER.
by Charlie Smith on November 14th, 2012 at 3:33 PM
The Harper government has failed to keep its 2009 promises to the UN.
The federal government will have to answer to the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva for its failure to keep its promises to the international community around housing.
Michael Shapcott, director of affordable housing and social innovation at the Toronto-based Wellesley Institute, told the Georgia Straight by phone that in 2009 Canada made several pledges to the Universal Periodic Review process. This was created by the UN in 2006 to hold countries accountable for their human-rights records by forcing them to answer to questions from other countries.
In April 2013, Canada is scheduled to undergo scrutiny of its performance since the last review.
“[Canada’s] specific commitment was we recognize more needs to be done, we promise we’ll work with the provinces and territories, and we’ll come up with a strategy,” Wellesley said. “They’ve absolutely completely failed in that regard of having a strategy.”
The Wellesley Institute filed a five-page document with the Universal Periodic Review citing a litany of Canadian cutbacks to housing programs. It states that in 2009 the federal government announced $2.1 billion in new funding for affordable housing over a two-year period, plus another $5.7 billion for homeowners in middle- and upper-income brackets.
By 2011, these short-term measures were terminated, and there was a 39 percent reduction in affordable-housing funding compared with the previous year.
“Since most federal dollars were matched by provinces, territories, municipalities, non-profit and private housing organizations, the combined loss added up to more than $3.5 billion in one year,” the institute declares in the document. “Included in the federal cuts were: 97% cut in Affordable Housing Initiative (new affordable homes) from $452 million to $16 million; 94% cut in national low-income housing repair program from $674 to $37 million; 27% cut in on-reserve Aboriginal housing from $215 to $156 million; and, 5% cut in assisted housing from $1.7 to $1.6 billion.”
In addition, the institute revealed that a federal Crown corporation, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, will cut the number of households receiving assistance under federal programs by almost 100,000, or 16 percent, between 2008 and 2016. And CMHC’s expenditures on the Affordable Housing Initiative will fall from $582 million to $0 between 2010 and 2015
CONSERVATIVES ARE AS MUCH TO BLAME AS THE LIBERALS FOR THE HOUSING CRISIS IF NOT MORE SO.
BUT MEMORIES ARE SHORT AND PEOPLE ARE STUPID.
The system works.

okay, just so I'm clear. You're feeling is that despite the over a 150 years that Canada has traded back and forth between the Liberals and the conservatives government commitments to Corporations (NAFTA, GATT, FIPA & TPP had Hilary won & USMCA) that we will be able to indefinitely push back a conservative's government agenda despite a massively pro conservative billionaire owned Canadian media, massive American pro conservative corporate media, massive pro provincial corporate media, as well as a trade war that's specifically targets the liberals and NDP's current government??? All by managing to avoid PP, by a couple digits in an election where the liberals at best would possibly be another minority government (after a decade in power which no government has ever done) and this would be the long-term strategic goal to keep PP indefinitely out of government while Trump and every corporate interest in the world rains down their worst possible punishment for a liberal/NDP government fighting for Canadians rights and has Carney as our champion who was last in government under Harper and prioritized as always corporations instead of working class Canadians?!?!
Sorry, I swear to God I'm not trying to be a dick but I have to say that having studied Canadian politics for almost 30 years I have considerably less faith in our first past the post system and the world's most concentrated corporate media that has explicitly ensured that the corporations and Israel are always under every single circumstances prioritized over the Canadian people let alone doing anything even approaching morality.
However, if I've missed something I would love to hear it because I am not only super depressed, sad about the inevitability of what's coming but also filled with dread as the hammer comes down. For me, what we need to accept is that things are going to get a lot f**** worse and if we don't start preparing for that it's going to not only make things impossible to address but worse, the possibility of Alberta and Ontario's right-wing agenda actually turn us into the 51st state because Trump purposely bankrupted our government.
Please the love of God tell me you have a better solution?!?!?!?
