It seems to me that the issue of housing is a provincial responsibility and that, again, to me, simply eliminates it from the purview of the federal government.
Of course, the feds provide dollars and such toward housing but that is simply that they are taxing too much and crowding the correct jurisdiction - the provinces - out of taxing room to be able to properly fund such programs.
Hell, yes! What is the PMO going to do if they do not like it? Fire you? Maybe call it Freeland’s gift. The PMO cannot afford to lose more ministers. Ministers have free rein in flooding the media. Use it.
And does not just apply to NES. This applies to all* the ministers that are capable of doing an interview. Explain what you are doing. Explain the options and why you are on the path you are. Show that you are reasonable and care. Defend your policies. Put up a fight. Flood the all kinds of media and drown out Poilievre who is really a one man band who only interacts with friendly media.
* Offer does not apply to minister Joly. She needs to go on extended trip to countries with no internet connection.
slashing development fees, who picks up the difference, municipalities?? is it then passed on to taxpayers to pay for them forever? isn't this what Ford did for his developer buddies, or is this different? single stair buildings?? so people with disabilities are SOL?. just asking
Hmmmmm .......

Yes to the above, and especially to your point about Joly, except that I maintain that she needs to go on permanent leave.

Single stair doesn’t mean single means of transportation - elevators would still be in place
(And I literally said a Housing Accelerator like fund to replace DCs)
Nate: do all of this. Great thinking here Evan and Merry Christmas.
