but, i've pointed this out repeatedly - we should not be looking to the liberals to support social housing, or take advantage of the surge in refugees to fix the pre-existing housing crisis. we should expect the liberals to sound like liberals, and push for what benefits capital - and excess population levels always benefit capital by driving down labour costs.  that's why the democrats support migrant inflows. this is all very easily understandable. at best, we should expect the liberals to put in place social systems that benefit capital, and that benefit all of us in the process - because we should at least expect the liberals to be smart about it, from a capitalist perspective.

nor are the conservatives going to do anything for the poor, either; that idea is comical.

we should be looking to the ndp for this. and, it's their rhetoric - which is trying to outliberal the liberals - that is what is so staunchly disappointing.

there was a great opportunity to take advantage of a crisis here, and they squandered it.
