The... The current housing plan sets aside money to have a certain amount of housing be affordable.... And it emphasizes that high density housing is key and is focusing on that? This is part of how you all just let them bash Trudeau for actually doing important shit we all need lol. And sure we can invest in our military more. But besides going outward to buy it, how do you spend money here to build the shit without the proper industrial base? We don't just have idle factories sitting there and massive reserves of raw materials to make shit with... It takes time to ramp that up
My argument was that they rely too much on private contractors to build the housing and they won't build anything wihout any way of making a significant profit. The government used to build multi unit housing buildings before for social housing, but they pulled back from that over time.
Otherwise, I agree with everything else you said about the military.
In fact, someone else either here or on Mastodon suggested that the car manufacturing plants that might close down due to the tariffs, could be taken over by the government to build stuff. So why not military vehicles, etc?
