In his first campaign to become Canada’s prime minister, Justin Trudeau promised a lot of things.
One of these was affordable housing.
That was in 2015.
Trudeau went on to win his first term as prime minister and with a majority government to boot.
As for affordable homes, the opposite happened.
Truck drivers and the country’s major airlines joined with the official Opposition Saturday to criticize the Trudeau’s government’s new public health rules that will apply to international travellers, rules that were announced Friday.
This is concerning.

It’s all well and good to honour those who served, but we show disrespect to their legacy by allowing our armed forces to have deteriorated to such a brutal extent.
The insolvency numbers are being reported at a time when Canadians are struggling to afford the growing price of groceries and gasoline due to inflation.
Bank of Canada governor Tiff Macklem says inflation may be around longer than anticipated.
“I think transitory to economists, means sort of not permanent,” said Macklem in an interview with CTV’s Question Period with Evan Solomon, airing Sunday. “I think to a lot of people, transitory means it’s going to be over quickly and maybe I don’t know exactly what the right word is, but it’s probably something like you know, transitory but not short-lived.”
The lived experience of Canadians clashes significantly with what government institutions claim.
Inflation has increasingly become the top political and economic issue of our time.

Trudeau had seemed to indicate Indigenous communities would have to give consent for the government to raise the flags. But the source said that is not the case.
In the end, it is not only how much or how little you spend but what you spend it on and what you get for it. Canadian health care is not bad, but it could be better, given the amount of money being spent.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is confident a “solution” will be reached to allow Canada to honour its war dead on Remembrance Day by lowering the flag to half-mast.
Trudeau gave his strongest indication yet on Tuesday that the national flag could be raised and then lowered again at federal buildings on Remembrance Day.
A survey of Canadians to understand their biggest financial stressors and found that inflation is weighing heavily on our minds. As Canada’s inflation rate soared to an 18-year high, increased cost of living is a source of financial stress for two out of three (67%) Canadians — more than double that of any other financial stressor.
The “major issue” of contention bedeviling Canada-China relations has been resolved and sunnier days between the nations lie ahead, Canada’s ambassador to Beijing said last week, offering an optimistic spin on the file that may not be totally shared by his own government.
With feelings of bitterness nowhere near sagging between Canada and China, there have been calls for a tougher approach to a country that imprisoned Michael Spavor and Michael Kovrig for more than 1000 days.
Canada’s economic growth unexpectedly faltered at the end of the third quarter, casting doubts on the strength of the nation’s recovery.
Supply chains are complicated. But if you’re wondering why everything you want to buy seems to be stuck in a global traffic jam these days, the answer is relatively simple, says Karen Kancens, vice president of the Shipping Federation of Canada.
