The Federal government is buying half of all mortgage bonds. The new federal housing minister also said housing needs to stay elevated in price.

So prices are up by design. The poor are screwed in Canada because the NDP was corrupted by a rich lawyer.

Jagmeet. He was a champagne socialist sporting a Rolex and a BMW, and held on just long enough for his pension, which lost the NDP party status. He was all for importing cheap labor from India until the UN called it modern slavery in which case he tried to blame the conservatives for allowing them to be exploited.

The NDP got slaughtered because nobody wanted Maple Donny to get a majority and so they voted Liberal instead. It was a single-issue election and the NDP weren't going to form a government. Anyone with two brain cells to rub together knew voting NDP was going to enable the conservatives.

Well heres the NDP immigration critic talking out of both sides of her mouth. The NDP loved cheap labor when we finally had some wage pressure, before the Bank of Canada raised interest rates to cool the job market, leading to double digit youth unemployment.

I don't think I'm reading between the same lines that you are. These both seem on-brand for the NDP (or even Liberals, with some edits). Wasn't the big push to import workers the brainchild of the Liberals under Justin, actually?
