Concervatives are desperate to find any fault in carney, considering this is his first "Fuck ups" as pm. The cons of Canada would love it if he let the housing market collapse under his watch, they'd swoop in on boomer outrage and we'd end up with Trump Jr. Oh and him not listening to his voters about touch feely crap is not a mistake, it's one of his strongest strengths. Only the people can facilitate real social change, not the federal government.

Policy over politics.

Exactly this. If PP were PM I fully expect he'd be pushing some kind of bail-out too.

PP is a focus group managed candidate that will back any cause conservative researchers believe might get them into power. There was another story recently, for example, with some conservatives promoting some lgbtq+ charity, for example, as they attempt to soften the blatant image of their party being anti-lgbtq+. "Look at our recent photo ops! Ignore our party policies and our party-base!". The canadian conservative party's recent track record makes it look very much like they just want to do anything to get into power, in order to enact a policy program very similar to what the US Republicans have done in the states -- PP even re-used the same sorts of slogans and rhetoric.

Hunter Biden in the states recently put up a post about how the electorate can smell a focus group a mile away, and that they're sick of being managed -- they want to be led, ideally by someone with convictions and determination to see their vision through. PP ain't that.

Carney's screwing up, sure. But I don't think anyone is that surprised that the banker-guy is doing banker-guy things, he's not changing his stance based on what some focus group is telling him.

I hope Avi has a good showing next time around.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with lil PP. This does sound like a bailout and it'll keep process a little higher than they should be. Give the developers 10-20% less than their break even amount though and I'll be ok with the buyout since they need to learn their lesson - don't build shit condos no one wants.

Don't fall for it. Pp would do the same.

It sounds like a bailout but it's a great program, it's good timing to come in and acquire housing stock at a discount

Why give them anything?
