Reality Check— Poilievre’s House of Lies « Canada’s NDP

May 27, 2024 at 5:30 am  Federal, Politics

Today, Pierre Poilievre is trying to sell Parliament on his private member’s bill. But what Pierre is peddling will cut funding to build homes people can actually afford. And even he knows Conservatives will make housing worse.

By cutting the Housing Accelerator Fund that New Democrats fought to put in place, Vancouver will lose another 40,000 homes and Toronto will lose 11,780.

That means tens of thousands of people will be out in the cold because of Conservative cuts.
So before anyone buys what the Conservative leader is selling, let’s check out some reviews:

  • As Canada’s housing minister, he built only six homes.
  • In over half the country, he invested zero dollars to build more rentals.
  • He let 800,000 affordable homes be sold off to corporate developers.
  • He called a family home in Niagara Falls a “tiny little shack”.

Poilievre’s housing plan is custom built for his corporate donors, not for you.

“Pierre Poilievre doesn’t care if you have a roof over your head, as long as his rich corporate landlord buddies get to charge you exorbitant rent to make more money,” said NDP critic for Housing Alexandre Boulerice. “People can’t find a home that they can afford because, for decades, Liberals and Conservatives have prioritized landlord profits over affordable rent.

“Public money and public land must be used to build homes people can actually afford—not to make the ultra-rich even richer.”
