Federal government launches new housing strategy

I find it sad as hell that the for profit construction industry is involved at all. They failed their job, and shouldn't be involved in the solution.

Since there was a good handful of circle jerk comments about this yesterday:

The Liberals' housing strategy depends in part on co-operation from provinces and territories, some of which have already pushed back on the federal government over what they argue is jurisdictional overreach.

This is what they campaigned on every election and to point out the extremely obvious.

But Fraser pushed back on those criticisms, arguing that Canadians just want the problem solved.

We're multiple decades into substantial housing issues and in the year 2024 one year before the elections. The Liberals have a "goal" to have affordable housing by 2031.

While this is certainly better than there platform last year, they really don't have a great record on spending money efficiently or even getting something decent for the money.

Making housing more affordable by delivering on key priorities, like the creation of a new Tax-Free First Home Savings Account, doubling of the First-Time Home Buyers’ Tax Credit, and making sure house flippers pay their fair share.
