🇨🇦 1,460 houses for a crisis Ottawa created

Ottawa and Alberta are celebrating at least 1,460 affordable homes as if that is some moon landing. In a country where housing demand has been detonated by federal mass-immigration policy, 1,460 units is a rounding error with a press release attached. The same crowd that flooded the market, inflated rents, and turned shelter into a luxury now wants applause for tossing a thimble of subsidies at the fire, as reported.

This is the Trudeau formula in one neat package: create a national crisis from Ottawa, then use federal cash and branding to pose as the saviour. Alberta gets more strings, more dependency, more federal intrusion, while ordinary Canadians get the usual sermon about affordability from people who made life unaffordable. If the goal were national interest, the first policy would be reducing demand pressure, not staging photo-ops over 1,460 units in one of the fastest-growing provinces. You do not solve demographic shock with bureaucratic confetti.
