Here are 5 ways the feds could fix Canada’s housing crisis

Housing has been a hot topic in the campaign for Canada’s 44th parliament.

Every major party platform offers proposals for reining in what has become a nationwide affordability crisis. However, experts say the most effective potential solutions have either received scant attention from the federal platforms, or have failed to be included at all.

‘Your refusal has cost us all’: Biden declares war on the 80M unvaccinated Americans ‘overrunning hospitals and ICUs’ in speech ordering all federal workers and employees in big firms to get shots

‘This is not about freedom or personal choice. It’s about protecting yourself and those around you, the people you work with, the people you care about, the people you love. My job as president is to protect all Americans,’ he said in remarks in the State Dining Room at the White House.

‘We’ve been patient but our patience is wearing thin. And your refusal has cost all of us. So please do the right thing,’ he said.

Biden’s speech was a marked change from previous remarks on the pandemic. He took a harsh tone with those who have not gotten vaccinated and expressed impatience with their decision not to get a shot in the arm.

Erin O’Toole is the most Liberal leader the Conservatives have ever had

On Aug. 15, the day Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau launched the federal election campaign, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole’s chief strategist made a prediction.

“Once again, @erinotoole begins a campaign as the underdog,” Dan Robertson tweeted. “This isn’t the first time he’s been underestimated, but it will be the last.”

No one is underestimating Mr. O’Toole today, not least the Liberals. The two leaders and the two parties are running neck and neck in the polls. Either leader could be prime minister after Sept. 20.

Poll: Strategic voting a threat to Conservatives

In past elections, the Liberals have scared progressive voters into supporting them to stop the conservatives from winning. Is this still a viable plan? The answer is a resounding “Yes.” 41% of NDP and Green voters say they are very likely or moderately likely to vote Liberal to stop the Conservatives from winning. Even if only those who say they are “very” likely to vote strategically actually do so, those voters represent 4.6% of voters, enough to put the Liberals back in the lead.

Who wants to live forever?

Since the beginning of the twentieth century, life expectancy in the West has risen roughly three months per year. In 1900, a new-born child in the US would, on average, live to 47. Now it is about 79; by the end of the century, it will be 100.

Some will call this progress — in sanitation, diet, medicine — as if more is always better. But the cost of this “progress” is rarely factored in.

‘I’m Not Resigning, But You Should’: Kellyanne Conway Fires At Biden Over Military Academy Board Removal

“Your decision is disappointing,” Conway wrote in the letter, “but understandable given the need to distract from a news cycle that has you mired in multiple self-inflicted crises and plummeting poll numbers, including a rise in new COVID cases, a dismal jobs report, inflation, record amount of drugs coming across the southern border, and, of course, the chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan that left hundreds of Americans and thousands of Afghan allies stranded under Taliban rule.”
