How would you suggest that he solve the housing crisis after years of inaction by the premiers (who are responsible for housing) and then letting In so many foreign students so they could reduce education spending?
The liberals injected 4 billion dollars into the housing accelerator fund to help after years of inaction by the premiers.
COVID cost a lot and it def exasperated the housing crisis and I think right now Carney is the best thing to replace him with to restructure our economy inside out. Keep everything we gained with JT and pivot to get our economy balanced to then pivot back forward. In the grand scheme of things JT was kneecapped by very hostile premiers.
They could have used a lot more stick to premiers backs. They started working with municipalities very recently. Housing was a problem even in 2015. They could have gotten back into building housing as far back as 2016.
The federal government let the students in, not provinces. Provinces just took advantage. Trudeau's government could have increased university and college funding instead, along with publicly tarring and feathering bastards like Ford who cut the funding. Something which Carney has said he'll do. The funding, not the tar-feathering.
Well when you want to be a province ans be a big boy and handle your own shit with no federal interference, that's what they did. The premiers said "we need x amount of students/immigrants this year" and the feds would say ok. Then when they recently throttled the immigration the premiers cried out "BuT ThIs HuRtS OuR LabOur ForCe".
Like everything else they just let the problem fester until it got so bad they needed big daddy feds to handle the problem.
