I feel like I haven't seen anyone talking about this press release here and I'm curious about what people think.

"$15 billion top-up to the Apartment Construction Loan Program to build a minimum of 30,000 new apartments." Edit to add: "With this top-up, the program’s financing is on track to build over 131,000 new apartments within the next decade."
"new reforms to the Apartment Construction Loan Program to increase access to the program and make it easier for builders to build"
"Launching Canada Builds – partnering with provinces and territories to build more rental housing across the country"
"Yesterday, we announced a new $6 billion Canada Housing Infrastructure Fund and a $400 million top-up to the Housing Accelerator Fund to ensure communities have the infrastructure they need to grow and build more homes"

Is this more lip service or are these genuinely working in the right direction to increase housing?

But also...

Why did the OP omit the full wording of the statement? Sounds like they're just trying to push and feed that ongoing hate boner.

Go fuck yourself asshole. There's no need for your vitriol in a post to prompt discussion. You don't need to attack me or my intentions with basically nothing to go on.
