Let’s wait a bit before being too happy because every so often we hear politicians make announcement about social housing and it never materialize…. or rarely.
The other problem is they need some funding also from Ottawa. Too many level of decision making. The federal shouldn’t have to deal with that. They should give money to the provinces and let them spend it wherever they want.

Yes, that’s why I said “talking big” – like transit, this is the kind of promise governments like to make to get public approval, and then we find out later – sometimes much later – that it never happened, or only a fraction of the generous sums of money cited were ever spent on the thing promised.

Steve Q, Quebec doesn’t “need” money from Ottawa, provinces have the power of taxation, they can raise their own money if they want/need to. But of course passing the buck is easier.
