Good morning, it's been a busy weekend on this thread it seems.

Why are food costs high? because supply bottlenecks created by covid, wars, droughts, climate change, and increasing standards of living around the developing world. Not exactly problems we pay a prime minister to fix single handedly.
Why are houses so expensive, because of a decades long war against public infrastructure waged by the right, and the rapidly declining ratio of public to private dwellings available.

Summary: Liberals despite being in power for 8 years had no policies that could possibly have impacted prices in any way, yet Ralph Klein, who's been dead for 10 years mind you, is directly responsible for today's energy prices. Also the right is fully to blame for housing prices because of some vague war against public infrastructure.
Correct me if I summarized or read that wrong? Care to elaborate on this war part since it sounds quite serious?

Apparently the CPC, which is not in power, seemingly doesn't care about Canadians because they don't have an election platform 2 years ahead. No party generally creates a full platform ahead of elections.
They do have a plan for housing affordability however, which they also put a motion on last parliament session which was voted down by the Liberal-NDP coalition.

Meanwhile the Liberals, currently the party in power who has the power to put a plan right now along with their coalition NDP partners, just did a PEI retreat on the PR pretense of tackling housing affordability and came out of it shrugging their shoulders. But they did enjoy some fine lobster and R&R and it was a great little PR moment for a few days to show they care.
Do you have any comments for the Liberals efforts on housing affordability or tackling cost of living? Regardless of Conservatives plans, surely we shouldn't wait 2 years to get a new plan from our current governing party?
