Lets see. It helps, but while Canadians save, we have to set the conditions for massive success.
The biggest problem I see with Carney Liberals is trying to please everyone and getting nothing done.
Look at pipelines. That alone represents the rest of the resource sector. I suspect he wants to really open those up but does not want to piss off the greenies/commies/quebecois portion of the Liberal base.
The whole debacle with EV mandate 2035 (starts in 2026), his team is not meeting this head on and getting ahead of it. They won't change the laws but I assure you as we see with the massive EV failures, Canadians will NOT give up ICE vehicles by 2035.
I will have to expand this list later.
I really think the way forward for Mark Carney is to once and for all ditch the holdover Trudeau loyalist/inner circle and their way of thinking, build the resource sector on the whole with NO half baked limits, for real cut the fat on public sector employment (offer them hiring into the CAF or the RCMP), he can do all this under "the context of Trump's shadow on the nation"... It would be the perfect scape goat to lose the shitty parts of the old LPC mindset.

It doesn't have to be cash.
Like any decent corporation it can be financed with debt.
Assuming of course there is also a profitable revenue stream.
We have lots of gold, silver, nickle, copper and diamonds in the ground. As well as lithium, carbon and potash.

It will be pointless to save that kind of money if a 3 bedroom house cost $1 million + or steaks at the grocery store cost over $100 each.

A nefariously minded individual of machiavellian bent might be inclined to use those divisions to claim legitimacy rather than leave it all up to the other side to claim they argue for everyone.
except I am afraid that he thinks exactly the same way. His history shows total opposition to petroleum products. If he was truly trying to improve things for Canadians he would have dropped the entire carbon tax and he would have pulled the restrictions on north Pacific tanker traffic.

Well there's Lies, Damned Lies and Statistics.
Canada's Official Poverty Dashboard of Indicators: Trends, April 2024
Canada’s Poverty Reduction Strategy introduced the Official Poverty Line for Canada and a dashboard of 12 indicators to track progress on poverty reduction for Canadians and their households. This infographic presents trend information for Canada's official poverty rate and the associated 12...
So yes...poverty rates are significantly lower than they were in 2015 (9.9% in 2022 vs 14.5% on 2015) but that also ignores the fact that they have also risen from their low of 6.4% in 2020.

Remind me again who's actually responsible for those things? Oh right not the PM and feds, its provincial. Provincial policies affect things like homelessness, and job rates much more then the feds. Like Alberta having one of the highest unemployment rates, and highest youth unemployment rate in the country. Some of the highest electricity rates that studies have shown we have over paid for by billions, one of the highest insurance rates in the country, and a minimum wage that hasn't changed in 7 years.
Blaming the feds is the easy button, the actual answer is much more complicated

Is Alberta responsible for the minister of the Federal Economic Development Agency for Northern Ontario lying about the poverty rate in Canada dropping "since 2015"?

Yup. Agreed. Mark, pick a lane and get it in it. It would be very straight forward if he did as My Miyagi said to Daniel-san "Do Karate yes or do karate no, don't karate think so"
Mark, oil and gas and pipelines, whats it going to be?

@MilEME09 The federal government sets the pace for the nation.
On housing and homelessness, and home affordability (everything connects together)
-You can't bring in 1.5 million people a year (temp or not) and only build 200-300,000 new homes plus young Canadians that are aging up (early 20s). The math doesn't work
-You can't have the government spend money out of the atmosphere and demand the BoC "print" new money, which means interest rates go UP for everyone (regardless of your credit rating) to pay for the new money, again the math doesn't work. Try getting a house when mortgage rates are through the roof, even if you do have a chunk of money saved up. Thats the feds to blame for their portions
-Housing and homelessness is also compounded by overall cost of living. Nothing is separated in silos in this economy. No jobs, investing in failing industries (like EV and so called renewable energy), not tapping into proven natural resource sectors and many other factors ALL contribute to the average Canadian earning so little, even with training and/or education.
I wish you would stop excusing the Liberals from their incompetence. You got blinders on. Hell, even I can see some hope in Mark Carney (I like him way more than Trudeau) but I want to see him drop dead weight. Also, if housing is totally not part of the fed governments arcs of fire, why do they have so much involved in attempting to fund it and regulate it? No cop outs. Facts not fiction.
Your beloved Liberals are still failing. If Mark doesn't get a handle on this in the next year or two, he will get slaughtered at the next election, which will come sooner. The Liberals won't have a "Trump" card to pull out again.

Are expecting the Feds to pull back from their pledges on home building and health care too ?
It seems to me all of our major federal parties like to campaign on subjects that are hot button issues, regardless of where they fit in that neat little graphic.
If one is going to pontificate about the prices of groceries food bank usage and poverty rates seems like a reasonable retort. Just the way I see it.

Yup.
Reaching Home - Canada’s Homelessness Strategy is the federal program that provides direct funding to communities to support people experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
The Federal government provides the policy and funding.
As much as people may want to blame the provinces for things like immigration and irresponsible numbers of foreign students, that's the responsibility of the federal government and IRCC.

WAG: either whoever wrote her Question Period response wasn't precise in their wording, or the DS solution answer was ignored/bypassed as the Minister ad libbed a response.
First off, she's also jobs minister, so this is sorta-kinda within her remit. Second, like the guy said ....
