Damn, maybe you got a different page to load? There seems to be a lot in his plan (too much to copy-paste here).
But keep in mind that Provinces are ultimately responsible for housing. If, for example, you don't think Ontario is doing a good enough job with housing (and we aren't), you can blame Doug Ford, who is now doing a shitty job representing Ontario for a third term...
The current federal government dipped into provincial responsibility to: create national cheap daycare; pay for dental care; and "encourage" municipalities to loosen zoning restrictions. They (rightly) won a court case against Alberta about who can enforce environmental regulations.
CMHC used to work with the provinces to build housing. They, and the federal government, can do it again.
And yet, at least in the Province of Ontario, the provincial government fucked up the daycare program, really fucked up municipal governance over housing projects, really really fucked up with spending healthcare funds given to them by the feds.
Unless the Federal government completely takes over these responsibilities, we still have to rely on provinces to do the right thing.
The feds have sidestepped the provinces entirely with dental care - payments go from the federal government to dentists (via Sun Life π).
I'm pretty sure the dRoP tHe ReD tApE crap the Liberals/Conservatives are doing/proposing are paid directly from federal coffers to municipalities.
I get the Ford hate, I really do, but we're in a housing crisis. We can't let neoliberals like Carney and Ford hide behind jurisdiction while they bend over backwards for private companies.
