I bounced onto his housing policy. It can be summed up as
It proceeds to do the neoliberal "let's hope the private sector saves us" crap.
Nothing about the feds building housing.
Nothing about fixing our tax code so houses aren't investments.
It doesn't even talk about bringing in more construction workers.

Yeah. I don't know why everyone is fawning over Mark Carney. He is small 'c' conservative. There's nothing he plans to do that's actually going to alleviate the burden on the middle class.
That's why I'm voting NDP next election. I don't care that Jagmeet Singh is not popular. Their party's plaform is exactly what we need right now. But nobody wants to acknowledge them as a real alternative to conservatives. No one is giving them any media attention also. So it's hard for them to deliver their message.
Another way to look at it is that we thought there was no way to avoid a conservative government. Mark Carney has brought back the possibility that somebody else could win.
What will stop Mark Carney from winning will be if too many people vote NDP. If that happens, we get Pollievre. That is just the math.
Personally, I do not like to vote to send a message or complete a survey. I like to try to pick the best available government.
As a candidate to win, the NDP is not one of the options this election. You have two choices. Please pick one.
If your number two choice is going to win, picking the opposition is a viable strategy. However, if your last place pick is going to win, maybe vote for whoever has the best chance of beating them (otherwise you are choosing your last place pick).
We can still get a minority conservative government. End up with another coalition. That could work great too.
Canadian system is that you just vote for your single riding. NDP and Green opposition to Liberal preferred voting reform (they were too quick to give up on) means your wrong narrative is what the media BSs Canadians into understanding.
The reality is that some ridings will have stronger NDP than Liberal chances, and in such ridings voting Liberal can split the vote to let PC win. You as a voter are forced to independently seek polls or other indicators of which of the 2 might be the strongest candidate, because the main media will be of zero help in preventing PC relevance.
