Shifting On a Dime

You simply will never be prime minister, Chrystia:

Canada must sharpy reduce immigration quotas due to a national housing shortage, Liberal MP Chrystia Freeland (University-Rosedale, Ont.) said yesterday. Freeland as finance minister had claimed record high immigration was essential to growth: “Tie the number of new immigrants to housing availability.”

 

I'll just leave this right here:

On Thursday, Chrystia Freeland was asked whether Canada has an immigration problem. In her response, she suggested Canada has a housing problem.

Canada, she argued, is the most welcoming country in the world for newcomers and enjoys an economic and competitive advantage as a result. But "if we want to be a country that welcomes new Canadians — and I strongly believe that's the right thing for all of us," she said, "we have to build more homes faster."

 

A strange turn of policy.
