Isn’t this the Liberal policy already in place?

It takes time to root out corruption. BC has a commission doing an inquiry, do they not?

Liberals have expanded RCMP investigative capacity and prosecution capacity in DOJ.

It’s not the ultra rich who are doing this.

It’s organized crime. Domestic and foreign organized crime. Which was allowed by former government to take root by cutting budgets by 20% and refocusing on preventing domestic terrorism expected to be committed by domestic and foreign threats.

Yep. Here is the budget that has been approved. Plans to expand affordable housing by 100K units in a couple of years. And plans for more into 2027. A five year plan.

Click on housing & homeless housing.

If you read the budget proposals and plans, you can see they are costed and well planned for several areas. Urban renewal, new units, homeless, single parent families, veterans, refurbishment, conversion of commercial property.

The impact of 2020 funding is already being witnessed. Canada has completed its average home building totals in six months vs the average of 200K per annum.

One may be questioning the small sum of $25 million set aside for Inuit housing initiatives in Nunavut.

First let’s talk numbers. Inuit are estimated to be 85,000 people. Most living in Nunavut.

MP Mumilaaq Qaqqaq posted on Twitter & spoke in HOC about the dire needs of Inuit.

Many were taken aback by the paltry sum offered by Liberals.

But that’s politics. It’s all about perception, not reality.

A Nunavut local news article details how skewed that perception provided by MP Qaqqaq truly were.

And highlights a CPC MP echoing the disinformation.

Here is the article. It’s an interesting read. Basically it reveals the demagoguery practiced by both NDP and CPC in creating the perception that LPC doesn’t care and hasn’t responded to dire needs and health concerns of Inuit housing crisis.

I especially question the addition of a CPC backbench MP who echos the disinformation. I assume conveniently providing for conservative news clips to amplify the smear of LPC and completely false accusations made by MP Qaqqaq without having to quote her directly.

This is an example of demagogic populism.

If you’ve heard MP Qaqqaq speak, she has a quite noticeable tone of contempt and derision when speaking about LPC.

I don’t blame any indigenous person for anger, contempt or mistrust.

But using false accusations to win favour for your political party by misrepresenting the facts and obstructing the response by the government is deceptive, and the work of a partisan saboteur.

Maybe that’s the real reason MP Qaqqaq is not running for office again? Shame.

Journalists local to Nunavut have clearly detailed available funds to address the crisis and confirm some have also been dispersed. They detail the immediate response of federal govt in 2020 when the crisis became apparent through MP Qaqqaq’s report.

All this was done while LPC was addressing covid nationally.

Nunavut’s housing crisis was made a priority when billions in covid aid was being dispersed to millions of Canadians in dire need of benefits, business loans, student jobs, economic planning. Nunavut was a priority.

But we were all distracted by the partnership of Angus and Poilievre milking the WE scandal they created conveniently timed around the assassination attempt by a Q’Anon military reservist, and eventually destroying Canada’s premier international charity.

So no one noticed the immediate response, the extensive inclusion of Nunavut in Indigenous targeted housing initiatives, the plans to continue funding housing initiatives in Nunavut until sufficient housing is available. And the commitment to ongoing funds for home maintenance.

Nope. Daily MSM promoted another scandal that destroyed WE, slandered the PM’s mother like a cheap gold digger and influence peddler, made numerous allusions and outright accusations of criminal bribery and corruption on the part of the PM and his family.

Poilievre & Angus ran a televised show trial in HOC finance committee. PMJT was subpoenaed to answer questions publicly.

Then both claimed “coverup” when PMJT prorogued government to shut down banana republic sideshow of NDP and CPC MPs attempting to create another scandal.

I have no problem admitting LPC used prorogue to limit the damage to the party. Though PMJT swears otherwise. I encouraged it then and I’m happy they did. Low and behold the Ethics Commissioner cleared LPC and PMJT from any scandal.

Though Finance Minister Morneau revealed a blunder.

As I’ve explained before, Morneau has an annual income of $50 million. The $40K he didn’t pay back was a blunder, not a crime. $40K sounds like a lot to the average Canadian. But to Moreneau, it’s 0.08% of his annual income.

That’s not 8% it’s literally 0.08%. Or 8/100 of 1%.

The guy pays accountants to handle his finances. So he very likely assumed the bill was paid.

No matter. He handed in his resignation shortly thereafter. To thunderous accusations of accepting a bribe.

$40K isn’t a bribe to Morneau. It’s the equivalent of a nickel you and I would find dropped in the gutter.

Not an incentive to blow up his career. That’s ridiculous.

And that’s why I will refuse to entertain any idea of voting for NDP or CPC.

Neither party is honest. Neither party has an actual plan. Just vague ideological concepts dressed up as virtue signals. And amplified along side false accusations and character assassination.

I don’t blame MP Qaqqaq for leaving politics. If the party she represents and the one she partners with for effect are that dirty and underhanded, what does she think the other parties are like?

I wouldn’t vote NDP right now or next election if you paid me.

Until the party cleans house, drops the demagogic populism and starts actually developing some policy not virtues dressed up as policy, I’m left with one reasonable choice in a federal election. LPC.

And so is the rest of Canada.

If we keep accepting demagoguery as legitimate, that’s what we will continue to get. I’d like a proper & effective opposition (not Sideshow Bobs). I want liberals to receive constructive and helpful feedback. And I want more than one option for a party.

How about you Canada?
