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.
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.

Housing promises are a big item for voters but never acted on.
They did put in a 2 year ban on foreign buyers which is doing a whole lot of nothing... but it probably got them some votes.
