Prime Minister Justin Trudeau started his post-shuffle re-pitching of his government as affordability-focused to Canadians on Thursday, seeking to draw a sharp contrast between the Liberals and their Conservative rivals. Housing was another key change made as part of the shuffle, and now the minister in charge says his file will be a 'complete priority.'
Conservatives only ever offer tax cuts to offset higher prices as a solution because the “invisible hand of the free market” should never be interfered with while its jerking off the insanely wealthy.
In theory both sides will help reduce overall costs but one will be at the expense of people who rely on government services vs. the the other that will will try to curb landlords from blatantly gouging.
Of course, I’m not defending that conservative policies for affordability work. They don’t. Just like their policies for public safety, transportation, healthcare and most things don’t, because they’re naive and backwards.
Still, they’ll still market themselves in defense of affordability, safety, transportation, health etc. So declaring oneself as “affordability-focused” is not a differentiating factor.
