Even when the feds would try to step into expedite projects (like putting timelines on funding), the same #### happens. Like this old gem about preserving a parking lot ("the hub of the community") to prevent affordable housing from being built with a federal grant https://globalnews.ca/news/7666729/e...sing-conflict/ |
Well you can deride those arguments, but the reality is they're valid. People buy properties because of certain advantages and desires. So, of course those same owners are displeased when some of these plans are pushed.
Anyway, another CPC convention and they passed some more socially conservative motions. I'm sure that'll be easy to campaign on!
