Opinion: Major parties show they recognize the need for housing plans Donald Trump-induced anxiety has overwhelmed Canada’s federal election, but housing affordability has managed to remain a central issue in the campaign. Platforms released by the two frontrunning part...

My column: Major party housing plans are very different. Liberals will focus on building affordable housing and rentals. Incentivize cities to increase approvals.

Conservatives will remove GST on houses and penalize cities if they don’t increase approvals. www.winnipegfreepress.com/opinion/anal...

Opinion: Letters, Jan. 30

MNPHA’s @chrismaesnino.bsky.social wrote in support of affordable community housing on Granite Way: “We’re in a short window of opportunity where the city has funding and political will to support the development of deeply affordable housing.”

The funding for the affordable housing is time limited - it could end with a change in the federal government, and it requires a building permit within the year. By delaying the project, the Board is certainly stopping it (or at least the affordable part of it)

Another classic example of people being more concerned about where cars are going to sleep over where people are going to sleep. This is a story that repeats itself ad nauseam. #winnipeg #yyc #cdnmuni
