(I posted this to Canadapolitics as well, but I wasn’t sure if I’d get responses so trying here as well!)
Despite the research I’ve done and the debates I’ve watched, the fact remains I agree with some of each candidates platform and disagree with other parts. I’m really struggling with how to vote both provincial (Ontario) and federal.
I thought it’d be fun to get other people’s opinion on the issues that matter most to you, why you think your candidate is trustworthy, and see if any of it helps solidify my vote! 🇨🇦
It’s currently political suicide to actually implement policies that would reduce house prices by 50%+ so the parties are just putting in those vague statements and making token gestures trying to stabilize house prices.
Unfortunately the majority of voters still own a home (older people more likely to own and more likely to vote) and it’s going to be a hard time convincing those people to vote for losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in equity.
It’s going to keep getting worse until that balance shifts, I’d estimate another 20-40 years, then we can start voting in policies to reduce housing prices.
