General mail distribution, inpersonally addressed "To the Constituents": even before I unfolded the flyer, I knew the first sentence would rage against #Trudeau, and only rage throughout, without any suggestion of how the #CPC might possibly address the housing situation any better themselves. Of course, they have no plan, aside from firing gatekeepers and removing the bureaucracy (aka disassemble government and farm it all out to the private sector). #NeverVoteForPierreP #PierrePoilievre

1/ Dear Neighbour,
Justin Trudeau is not worth the cost. He has doubled rents, doubled mortgage payments, and doubled down payments.
Under Trudeau, Canada is building fewer homes than we did in the 1970s. Lower supply and higher demand means higher prices.
Before Justin Trudeau, a Canadian earning the median income could cover the casts of owning an average home by spending 39% of their pay. According to RBC, that number has now risen to 64% of a median income.

2/ RBC also reported that Canada's housing crisis is only going to get worse. They said just to stop Canada's housing affordability crisis from getting even worse, housing construction would need to increase by 50%.
This comes as Trudeau's own housing agency reported that he is making things. worse with fewer housing starts, less affordable housing, and higher rents CMHC says he has no plan to address this.

3/ Home prices are expected to once again break the records that they set under Justin Trudeau. Rents will continue to increase because Trudeau refuses to take Canada's housing supply concems. seriously Fewer new homes means that the dream of home ownership is slipping further and further out of reach for young and new Canadians.
Trudeau's endless stream of photo ops won't come anywhere close to building the 5.8 million homes that are needed to restore housing affordability for Canadians.

4/ Common Sense Conservatives are working every day in Parliament to fire the gatekeepers and remove the bureaucracy to build the homes Canadians can afford.
In your service,
Hon. Pierre Poilievre, MP Carleton
