Canadian real estate prices have surged in almost every market, with a typical home price doubling in many regions. A median household in major cities like Toronto and Vancouver would need to save over 20 years for just the down payment, more than 3x the historic average. Seems absurd?

Because he knows he lost and now he’s trying to leave the biggest mess possible to smear the next party

PP will win by doing nothing and then we are seriously in for a world of hurt

Hmm. Polling as the Conservatives are, would they win against a united left? I’ve suggested a strategic exit from three-way races on here before, but maybe that’s not even enough.

There’s also a US election between now and then.

The Liberals would rather lose than be part of meaningful progressive coalition.

Even the current situation is unpleasant for them, as exemplified by how grudgingly they’ll deliver even the meanest social program.

It doesn’t even have to be a coalition. They could pull out of some ridings unilaterally, and might want to if it guarantees another minority government.

I mean I hope not, but I think they would win if there was an election today

Because he knows conservatives are coming, and this is yet another futile attempt to cater to these devils before election

He’s primarily after the youth vote. I’m not sure which “devils” you mean exactly, but young people don’t usually own a home.

By “devils” he means property investors, bankers and in general the kinds of people that donate to parties and give board seats and reciprocal business arrangements to politicians.

It could be, but this benefits all homeowners, and ordinary ones make up the most politically important block, which is why I’m unclear. OP could mean anything from all homeowners (the edgey take) to just the billionaire ones.
