My question is:
I would like to know why those of you that are above 45 in age or older that own their own homes, think that Mark Carney will benefit us in our 30s over Pierre Polieivere. Pierre has stated he will cut immigration to the point where we're building more homes faster than we allow people into Canada and will allow first time home buyers to purchase their first homes without the 5% GST included in those homes.
The reason for the above question is because of 80% of the people I talk to in my age range (millenial) is because we're concerned about never being able to afford a home and if we're never able to afford a home, it affects many things specifically, like starting a family. From my understanding, Mark Carney wants to increase the Canadian population to 100 million by 2100 which is 800,000 a year when Canada has been known to build 200,000 places of living a year. He has publicly stated this.
If I currently owned a home this would be great for myself as my home would sky rocket in value. Please let me know on this particular issue, why as a millennial this is good for me.
Thank you in advance. Not looking to fight anyone. I want clarity.

In my 30s with 2 young children. The Trudeau/Carney Liberal daycare subsidy plan will save my family about $150,000 over 4 years for two kids.
Smith refuses to sign on to the extension, leading me to believe that the Conservatives do not support the daycare subsidy plan and childcare going forward.
Voting with my wallet really.
