people in canada would not generally consider immigration to be a ballot question.

but, the low vacancy rate could very well be a liability for the liberals.

personally? there is a 0% chance that i'm going to vote for the conservative party, nor would the conservatives be articulating policies designed to reduce the vacancy rate or create affordable housing and whatnot. they don't actually have an answer to the problem.

traditionally, urban canadians have looked to the ndp to address these concerns, but they aren't doing it.

if the liberals get some shovels in the ground and make a big deal of it, they could take away an issue that the ndp should be all over.
