In the video this article is based on, Carney says he will create an entity called "Build Canada Homes" that "will act as a developer on new, affordable housing projects."

The article says it'd oversee "affordable housing construction" so we'll have to wait and see how they intend to make it affordable.

The fact that they're creating a crown corporation to build homes on public and private land is huge. This includes prefab and modular homes too. They're even committing to using Canadian lumber.

We cannot contunue to rely on capitulating to and deregulating private developers and expecting them to act in any way other than own self-interest. They have no incentive to bring down the cost of homes. It is now crystal clear that the neo-liberal solution does not work.

A crown corporation that exists to create housing rather than maximize shareholder value is a massive step in the right direction. Frankly, I'm surprised Carney is doing this but happy about it all the same.

I expect Carney to get pushback from Doug Ford who is firmly in the pocket of private real estate investors.

Idk about you all but when I'm overworked, sometimes when I get free time, I finally have a chance to just exist and do nothing for once.

~(Also, all of the research on UBI show that when people don't have to work, they still choose to)~

NGL I've noticed a lot of trans homies in CS where I live and I'm here for it.

Data hoarders where you at?

No, reddit is not removing downvotes. The post was alluding to when they removed displaying downvotes scores.
