see, this is why i keep voting for them, though: it's these quiet changes that don't really make headlines but make a huge difference in people's lives.

the conservatives would never do this, and for all the ndp's rhetoric, they don't have a good track record, either.

i know he probably doesn't want every positive article to mention his father. but, his father spent years promising and pushing for a housing strategy. it never really materialized. it could be why they're keeping this quiet.

but, those waiting lists are really something else. and, the units they get attached to have often been discarded by the market. this creates pockets of decay. so, if this goes through, it's incredibly good news for just about everybody.
