  1. The world’s supidest country. If we tweak immigration, house prices and availability should ease and government can focus in building insane asylums which is what we really need.

  2. More Billion Dollar Boondoggles on the way.
    Anyone with any common sense and memory of history, knows these government projects are guaranteed financial disasters.
    Of course, the left doesn’t care and never has, about financial incompetency.
    “At least they tried!”
    This will be a textbook lesson in how NOT to build housing, how to make it as expensive as possible.
    The NEW GHETTO PROJECTS!

  3. Cue the Soviet National anthem.

    Register now for your apartment, which will be available on Sept 14, 2035.

    Book the plumber now for the morning, and an electrician for the afternoon.

    1. But my car will ready for pickup at the same time as the plumber and it took a 5 year plan to get the car.

    2. Speaking as a plumber/gasfitter.. I’m just going to state preemptively that my rate to retrofit these dumps isn’t going to be the rate you’ll find when you look online at kijiji or Failbook Marketplace for some cut rate work to be done as a cash job on the weekend…

      CodexCoder, though I’m certain you’ve seen this many times, President Reagan, on those cars and plumbers…

    3. And you’ll share the apartment with several other families Soviet Union style, probably with cultural enrichers that stink up the joint.

  4. Perhaps the #Libranos can call on the homebuilding expertise of the Clinton family?

    The gov’t of Canada will overpay for supplies
    The gov’t of Canada will overpay for labor, hopefully using exclusively imported and “new Canadians”
    The gov’t of Canada will look past the building deficiencies and building code violations
    Over budget, behind schedule, roofs which leak, all filled with new Canadians which aren’t responsible for anything, all areas unsafe for outsiders with soaring crime rates, and then blame normal Canadians for not wanting to live in these dumps.
    Perhaps the new homeowners will unionize and refuse to take possession of their dumps until the homes are brought up to the standards of their hometowns?

    “that’ll teach us” …

    1. I think you are describing a native reserve.

      No, these will be homes built with quality because they will be built by a Brookfield company. Carney will not benefit financially from that, of course. He is an honest politician.

  5. As I recall, Carney already penned a Fiat while he was just still acting PM and not yet elected into the position. I don’t remember the details, but I think he appropriated $25 Billion to modular homes. So, congratulations!!! If you live in Canada, you’ve already paid to house the homeless and immigrants in this new housing initiative.

    1. In the stiks of Saskabush it’s RTM’s on screwpiles, with propane tank and a septic tank (tank optional if u got a few acres). A leased lot helps keep the land cost down.

  6. This is the WEF communist regime seizing the mean of production so that, like communist party bosses, the Politburo, they can line their own pockets (like the capitalists they despise without the brutal honesty) and enslave the working class with immoral socialist laws. Communism amounts to feudalism with oligarchs.

  7. Ghettos.
    Build more ghettos.
    Amazing what government can decree.
    Shame what they promise is the polar opposite of what they deliver.
    This “Housing crisis” is the classic government circle.

    First create the problem,using “Rule,regulate and tax.”
    Then claim to fix the problem,by piling even more bureaucracy and regulation on top.
    Then complain that their “Good Intentions” were thwarted by those evil rightwing resisters,then demand even more power be given to them,so they can screw things up completely.
    And never will these Not Sees admit that they are the problem.
    Somehow it will never be seen,that people built houses long before Bureaucrats arrives to “help”.
    Forward to our glorious future.

    Heh,The band Talking Heads did a ditty years ago..something about how amazing we are ,for inventing the cardboard box to live in.

  8. Nothing will go wrong. This is a perfectly timed boondoggle to help kill this syphilitic whore of a country and end it. The coward sheep that populate it will never do anything so it needs outside forces to finish it off. This is another of those.

  9. Liberals would expropriate productive farmland to build slums for foreigners who hate Canada and Canadians.

  10. If it makes you feel any better in my blue city in a supposed USA red state they want to raise our taxes to help pay for affordable housing and the 1 BR units literally cost twice as much because of the government “support” .No wonder the developers are heavy donors. Oh, and all the thousands of student apartments built in the last several years have 10 year tax abatements

  11. Fortunately, by the time this gets going, the current market softness will probably resolve itself, it only took 4 or 5 years the last time around in the 1980s to get back to actual growth.

    Of course, by then, there may not be enough builders around, so we’ll have to import some from some other country, which will also make The Carney’s Circus Immigration Minister happy.
