The prime minister is meeting with his youth advisory board this week to hear its most 'pressing concerns,' with the aim of informing future policy decisions.

Housing would be nice, but how about electoral reform?

Or, you know, fucking actually do something instead of endless committees, boards, surveys and studies. You know what you need to to:

  • Build housing directly (like, employ people, buy land and buy equipment, don't subcontract)
  • Tightly regulate the market
  • Tax the rich to pay for it ...but you won't do it because it would cost your donor class money.

I'm sick of this. This government didn't need a study when they bought a pipeline for Alberta, and they didn't need a study to buy fridges for Galen Weston. They only need studies when they don't want to do something.

Want a model of what to do? Look at Doug Ford. That corrupt mobster-wannabee just straight up sold government land for pennies on the dollar and netted his daughter's wedding guests billions. Did he have a committee or a study? Nope, just git'r'done.

Holy shit, you're the goverment. You can print money. You can even claim all sorts of Keynesian multipliers as to why it's worth doing. Just fucking do it.
