Oh, I guess that really was the whole thing then. I’m sympathetic to the premise that BC might be doing better than Ontario recently in housing policy, but it’s unclear how much cherry-picking was involved in finding that one data point. Considering how far prices had risen out West it’s going take more than that to convince me that they’re “beating it back.”
Prices out west were beyond ridiculous far before the current NDP government.
The housing market in Swift fucking Current, Saskatchewan, is comparable in real dollars to St Petersburg, Florida, just outside Miama.
It’s almost like the NDP say what they want to do and then do it.
Remind me why we split the vote between them and the Liberals again?
This is BCs provincial NDP, which may or may not be ideologically in sync with the federal NDP. Its a difficult thing to determine as they campaign on different issues typically, but as BCs liberal party was its acting conservative party i tend to look at our parties as shifted one to the right. It tends to follow a lot closer to the federal voting patterns that way.
Edit: that being said i did vote for them
Well, in Ontario it’s because “Rae Days” or something like that.
Always love that argument
NDP did one thing I didn’t like in the 90s and now I’ll never vote for them
Conservatives do shitty things over and over but I’ll give them a chance … again
Liberals do shitty things over and over but I’ll give them a chance … again
It wasn’t even a bad thing
They just think the Ontario NDP caused a global recession
Ask someone would you rather have less hours in the short term or no job in the long term and they will side with Bobby
Ask someone if the government should spend less and protect jobs or fire people and spend a bunch of money to fill their positions and they will side with Bobby
Maybe they’ve noticed over time what actually happens when the conservatives, liberals or ndp are in charge during bad worldwide times. You definitely want a Harper not a Trudeau for conditions of the last ten years. yknow, a fucking economist.
Harper isn’t a good example, he destroyed our economy
Our deficit and military still haven’t recovered from him
Lol. Fuck I’ll just make shit up too why not.
Makes sense. Despite what Conservatives across the country have been saying. Provincial governments are the best positioned to actually solve housing related problems.
Only if you pretend the problem is lack of housing not insane immigration. Maybe importing carpenters instead of truckers and counter staff would help.
