    They can include anything from highways, railways, ports, airports, pipelines, nuclear projects, clean energy projects and electric transmission lines.

    Disgusting that dead ender energy pipelines and nuclear is included in this. Railways and Ports are important provincial and export trade boosts, where if railway expansion goes through norther less populated routes, is both a relatively safe energy transportation path, and reason to expand northern population/jobs. It could also bypass any future Alberta owned land.

    Any nuclear energy program has to be BS weapons enrichment program. All US military spending must be eliminated to pay for these projects. Japan and South Korea have to be bullied into Canadian investment by threatening China and DPRK relations. Philippines defense pact cancelled. US must pay heavily for NORAD defense. Europe must be bullied into threat of Russian relations.

    Overall concept is good, and glad provinces are on board. This is still peanuts relative to needed action to force US capitulation. It still looks like gaslighting prelude to further US subjugation.

    He’s got a narrow window to actually accomplish something. We can’t have another leader who thinks announcing something is the same as doing it.

    I’d we let this get bogged down in process and consultations it’s doomed.

        We can build a Canada where families can afford a home of their own to raise their kids.

        We can build a Canada where seniors can find a place to live next to their grandkids.

        We can build a Canada where the people who build our houses and work in our communities can afford to live in them.

        Funny to sees this when the new housing minister says prices won’t fall, because boomers need the money to retire.

        Carney himself said the same thing, prices couldn’t fall.

          He does say that the supply needs to be increased, which should help with prices. Demand is outpacing supply by a lot right now.

            He says affordable housing. Its attempting to manipulate the language, in their definition affordable housing is government rentals, not housing actually being affordable.

              Ah, true. It is specifically stated that the federal government needs to focus on affordable housing. I know provinces have housing as part of their budgets too, but I’m not really clear on how each level of governments housing budget funnels down to housing/the people.

              To be fair about them saying house prices can’t come down, any party would be saying that. If prices dropped enough there would be a lot of people across Canada with mortgages higher than the value of their home and that could easily turn into a bad situation.

    Yah right. Then the FN protest and everything gets delayed or cancelled. Canada has major infrastructure issues that nobody wants to fix.

      Perhaps we should work with FN instead of trying to ram through projects without them? That’s what Harper did and what Poilievre would do. My company has built pipelines with FN approval and it’s gone very smoothly.

      Getting steamrolled into being the 51st state seems like the biggest national problem right now
