Either he presents the support or he forgets about this discussion. Then 4ish months down the line, he'll repeat saying that immigrants vote Liberal. Then at that time, Fuzz must show infinite patience and copy paste his response from today.
Eta: flamesfever admits his biased thinking. Will be change these opinions. Who knows?
Eta2: the second thing that flamesfever brought up is interesting. The 'wealth effect', if beneficial to Canadians, will not stop when PP comes into power. IMO he'll keep immigration numbers high. Either that or expect the PPC to come into power to significantly curtail immigration.

Y'know the worst part of flamesfever's stupid diatribe about how "[the Liberals are bribing] our mayor and council to #### up our zoning regulations to fix the problem they created"?
Here's the Conservative strategy (
https://www.conservative.ca/building...bureaucracy/):
The Building Homes Not Bureaucracy Act Will:
- Require big, unaffordable cities to build more homes and speed up the rate at which they build homes every year to meet our housing targets. Cities must increase the number of homes built by 15% each year and then 15% on top of the previous target every single year (it compounds). If targets are missed, cities will have to catch up in the following years and build even more homes, or a percentage of their federal funding will be withheld, equivalent to the percentage they missed their target by. Municipalities can be added if the region that they are a part of meets these criteria.
- Reward big cities that are removing gatekeepers and getting homes built by providing a building bonus for municipalities that exceed a 15% increase in housing completions, proportional to the degree to which they exceed this target.
- Withhold transit and infrastructure funding from cities until sufficient high-density housing around transit stations is built and occupied. Cities will not receive money for transit until there are keys-in-doors.
- Impose a NIMBY penalty on big city gatekeepers for egregious cases of NIMBYism. We will empower Canadians to file complaints about NIMBYism with the federal infrastructure department. When complaints are legitimate, we will withhold infrastructure and transit dollars until cities allow homes to be built.
Anyone thinking that Calgary can conceivably hit 15% increases in home-building year-after-year
without something like the "blanket rezoning" being talked about here is delusional.
