Poilievre calls Niagara Falls home 'tiny little shack,' apologizes to tenant
Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre says he has apologized to a woman in Niagara Falls, Ont. for calling her home a 'tiny little shack' in an attempt to illustrate high housing costs in the area.
Just another example of a disconnected politician that use the plight of the people for their thin veiled arguments in their circle jerk of "we care about the people but not enough to actually be productive in finding an appropriate solution".
Wild that Poilevre has never come across one of these houses considering they line the Lakeshore corridor and are an important part of our pre/post war history.
"Grew up a house similar" to this one but describes it as a shack. So which is it? Is it a shack or the home that's in the real-estate listing (which clearly isnt a shack) cause those are very different descriptions.
And this isn't just Poilevre, all three parties do the same shit. These people don't care about the average Canadian just what makes them look good in the moment.
PP trying to frame income/property-value disparity as a purely Canadian problem that has only happened under Trudeau is just pure fallacy. It's happening in countries all over the world and it has been growing under every government in Canada for decades.
Damn right, the real-estate bubble got started under Harper and kept going steadily under Trudeau, probably because so many politicians are also landlords or in cahoots with developers/investors (including the NDP).
Canada is eyes-deep into the "fuck you, I got mine" nightmare mentality across the entire political spectrum.
And this isn't just Poilevre, all three parties do the same shit. These people don't care about the average Canadian just what makes them look good in the moment.
Yup. And none of them offer any solutions, like limiting how many housing units any single entity can own.
Rampant unfettered capitalism has bought and paid for damn near every politician and we pay for it in the end ... fuck 'em all.
“Her home is in many ways not a lot different than the one I grew up in,” Poilievre said in a statement.”
Populist elitist handbook 101: I’m one of you! That’s why when I call your house a crap hole it’s actually a compliment.
Oh man, politics aside, this guy just seems like such a wiener... Who goes to a press conference and shit-talks someone's house as a talking point?
Squinty McProudboy looks even more like Milhouse without his glasses.... Perhaps he should lose the racist "base", that would be a better look.
He's so much down to earth now without those glasses. I feel he's one of us.
It's a joke! When you give me that look, that means it's a joke.
Politics aside, yeah I would consider that a $500k ‘shack.’ The value clearly comes from the location.
Glad he apologized. Not a great comment from him.
