On the recent news front, Trudeau has been getting a lot of criticism for stating that housing is not a primary federal responsibility.
Yet...Trudeau made a promise to bring affordable housing for Canadians and was one of his key factors in 2015's election run.

Trudeau created the position of the Minister of Housing and Diversity in 2019 after the 2019 election as part of their Forward - A real plan for the middle class. This put the word housing in the cabinet.

Affordable housing is the very first chapter.
Quote:
A Place to Call Home
We will make it easier for more people to buy
their first home.
For many young people starting their careers,
saving up enough to make a down payment on
a home is a far-off dream – and for ten years,
Stephen Harper’s Conservatives did nothing to
address this growing problem.

Trudeau ran the exact same pledge in 2021's election about affordable housing, rehashing the same 2015 slogan.
Has Trudeau given up and trying to steer the party away from an untenable promise? Guess after 8 years it's no longer possible to blame Harper?
His answer at 16:00 when asked about the significant of announcing...214 units which will made available primarily to nurses, at 1400$ a month.
