Poilievre grills Trudeau over inflation, affordable housing in Canada

During question period in the Canadian House of Commons Wednesday, Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre questioned Prime Minister Justin Trudeau about the link between the government's deficits and the inflation Canadians are currently facing.

The bank governor's statements earlier today about the rising inflation risks and the bank's openness to further rate hikes — likely due to the government's deficits — were reviewed by Poilievre.

Trudeau responded stating that cutting spending and support for Canadians would not be beneficial in helping them do better, adding that greater investment in housing was needed.

Poilievre, however, claimed that promises of affordable homes have not yet been fulfilled and that housing costs have doubled.

In response, Trudeau defended the government's efforts to invest in Canadians and work with municipalities to build more homes across the country.

SPOILER ALERT: I was in Halifax a couple days ago, there are more people living in tents than just six months ago.

You know what word he never use “DONE” - the best statement.

That government breaks your leg and gives you a wheelchair to help you walk. Look at all the support we give to Canadians.

[pssongs]

What he's "done" is driven the middle class into poverty. And then created a program to help the Canadians

My new favourite thing is watching Trudeau start puffing his chest and raising his voice at the end of a long rant after his party starts cheering him on.

Shout all you want, you're still getting voted out

We don’t need the federal government to borrow more to spend more. The budget obviously didn’t balance itself. He and his cronies have to go.

[hollyholmes]

Affordable housing and affordable renting that’s the structure we all looking for .

[girthbrooks]

Trudeau trying to play the conservative cuts angle clueless Canadians have had to cut back on basically everything themselfs

[Tipsytimecapsule]

“More homes built over the next decade” my one question is will we be able to afford them? This guy needs a reality check

[David-hcqz]

Even Trudeau's wife couldn't even stand him anymore! Please God lets have an election!

[lululucy]

Hasn't done anything for 8 years! Now he's talking big?

[LiamTwigg-twmt]

Imagine if supply had been on their minds 8 years ago. Funny how it's only when its blowing up in their faces.

Housing agreements when nobody can afford a house are absolutely big deals. The general idea is to not let it get to the point where people have spent 5 years begging you to do something.

At this time I can’t be mad at Trudeau because he is the biggest joke that has ever happened to Canada

[Shadow-Banned-Conservative]

Every time Trudeau says "supports", he means HANDOUTS.

[Ben-enmn]

God I'm so depressed that both these guys are our options

[randyf]

Look how Trudeau has to read his answers written for him, like an actor. Pierre is able to speak from his heart and is so much more intelligent. Pierre Poilievre is a real leader and will fix most of the damage Trudeau has done.

[cedd]

Can we PLEASE have an election.. like right now.. we need to get rid of Trudeau

[JA-mqti]

How does Trudeau wake up every morning look himself in the mirror and tell him self he’s doing a good job…

[dbwvrdm]

Skippy is starting to sound like a one trick pony.
