It's likely our Canadian elections have been rigged too

Harper did well with getting votes in Ontario and Quebec in 2006-2011. But then he lost in 2015 for a reason. People don't vote against the incumbent if they are happy with his performance.
I wanted Harper to do something about the housing bubble. He and the Liberals appear to have no interest in remedying that problem. And I place the blame as well on provincial governments. Dalton McGuinty, Kathleen Wynne, Doug Ford. And regional and municipal governments. So I don't place the blame solely on Tories as the Liberals and NDP are terrible at governing too. And there is bad management at all levels of government. Federal, provincial, regional, municipal.
The housing bubble is driven by a combination of mass immigration, foreign investors buying up Canadian real estate, our heavy reliance on imported goods from China (the Chinese then turn around and buy Canadian real estate with the Maple Bucks we gave them for their wares) and NIMBYs preventing the expansion of residential and mixed-use zoning. NIMBYs often use muh infrastructure as an excuse to not expanding housing. But after Trudeau ran up a huge deficit over a virus that kills a very small portion of the population and with Tories green-lighting lockdowns, I don't want hear anymore that we don't have the money for infrastructure.
