Conservative housing proposal puts Liberals on the back foot

The Conservatives promised buyers of newly built homes that they’d save thousands of dollars on their mortgage payments. The Liberals complained the Tory plan would cut funding for municipalities.

One of these parties understands who votes. The other doesn’t seem to.

It’s pretty clear the key political issue in Canada is affordability. The housing crisis is a big, looming, social problem but a 34-year-old who can’t even think about buying a house understands it in terms of dollars.
