The federal government is (mostly) inconsequential on housing supply. Trudeau knows this and so has to do all kinds of other song and dances to distract.
If we have a labor problem let’s import construction workers, fix zoning, build a large housing fund and construction department and mobilize it. Actually work the problem on a provincial and municipal level.
As opposed to constantly kvetching about supply and trying to murder it (see: foreign buyers bans, airbnb bans and now the ever popular immigration stoppages). It’s all whack-a-mole band aids that are clearly not working.
Solve the actual problem, and that’s supply, supply and supply.
