    Just acknowledging the problem is a huge win for some. I get it, the current government can’t exactly complain that food and housing costs are out of control and need to be addressed.

    This is pretty much it.

    People are hurting. Every trip to the grocery store is a reminder that you aren’t making enough. Rent feels like it’s on an escalator, and many home owners are dreading renewing their mortgage.

    The federal government has made some half hearted policy statements about building more homes, and they’ve shoveled some cheques out, but there’s no sense that the affordability crisis is being addressed. Worse, the Federal Liberals don’t look like they care.

    Lots of people are going to vote against that.
