again: where are the ndp?

have they read any naomi klein?

i mean, forget about calling her and asking her for advice - which they can do, quite easily. have they even read anything she's written?

i expect the liberals to tell everybody to stay calm and pocket the rent - because this is the side of the class war the liberals are on. unfortunately. liberals are supposed to rail against rentiers, but in canada they work for the banks. so, a housing crisis, to them, is neither a challenge nor a crisis but an opportunity to make a profit.

that's fine. it's understood. really.

but, the ndp should be yelling from the trees that this is an incredible crisis of unheard of proportions and using it as a means to push for more subsidized housing.

they aren't. they're just saying the same things the liberals are, because they don't want to be the party of the working poor any more, they want to be the party of brown conservatives - who, as a rule, stand to profit from increasing rents.
