Prime Minister Justin Trudeau started his post-shuffle re-pitching of his government as affordability-focused to Canadians on Thursday, seeking to draw a sharp contrast between the Liberals and their Conservative rivals. Housing was another key change made as part of the shuffle, and now the minister in charge says his file will be a 'complete priority.'
Of course, I’m not defending that conservative policies for affordability work. They don’t. Just like their policies for public safety, transportation, healthcare and most things don’t, because they’re naive and backwards.
Still, they’ll still market themselves in defense of affordability, safety, transportation, health etc. So declaring oneself as “affordability-focused” is not a differentiating factor.
