Unfortunately the federal government doesn’t have as much to say about that as municipalities. All they can really do is reduce immigration (done) and provide incentives for municipalities to build housing (done) but the effects of both on the housing market will take well beyond next year’s election to be felt.

Trudeau seems obsessed with spending $1b / day in new programs until the election, in a vain attempt to secure his legacy.

They cut the number in 1/2, no?

The usual number for Canada is 200,000-300,000.

They increased this to >1,000,000. Then after outcry decreased the number by 50%.

But this still means they are still roughly 100% higher then the normal numbers.

You notice the trick they played.

Reduce immigration done? are you serious?

We agree here, his time is done and he is leaving a mess behind.
