10 Thoughts on the Liberal Housing Plan (www.missingmiddleinitiative.ca)

Justin Trudeau is a decent man. In a world where many leaders are thugs. He has done a lot of good things such as assisted dying, legal marijuana, strengthening competition law or that bill against greenwashing.

However, the single biggest failure of Trudeau was immigration.

Justin Trudeau's immigration policies were absolutely extreme. Under his leadership, the Canadian population increased by 3% a year. This is far more than France, Britain, the United States, Mexico, Turkey, Brazil or Saudi Arabia. In fact, the only region of the world where you see a 3% annual population growth is Africa.

This extreme population growth triggered an unprecedented housing crisis. Visible homelessness is rising in every single canadian city, from the Atlantic to the Pacific. People are scared to end up homeless. New migrants are viciously exploited by unethical landlords.

You can't tell people from around the world "Come to Canada" and think it will have no consequences on housing.
