[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

Yeah, it is at least a move by the Feds to get back into it.  The devil will be in the details, but this should provide housing for a lot of people who are currently having struggles finding a place to live outside the main cities.

Speaking of which...how are the Liberals doing in Canada? I have frankly been too scared to check.

Not so good, I think.
Carney is being criticized for not holding up his end of his campaign promises. He was all about "elbows up" and how he was going to fight Trump, but so far all he's done is conceded on two things (the Netflix tax, and removing all reciprocal tariffs), and he's gotten nothing from Trump.
He criticized PP during the campaign, saying he'll cut a lot of things, yet is promising "austerity" in his next budget.

In my opinion, he's too much of a "blue" Liberal, and would fit nicely in the old Conservative Party.

His upcoming budget will be his big test.

"Not so good" as in "I'm disappointed in what they're doing" or as in "their voters are losing faith in them and they're vulnerable to a right wing resurgence in the vein of Starmer in the UK"?

Rustad, leader of the BC Conservative Party, is going rough a leadership review right now.

Here's an article on the topic, with a fairly catchy opening paragraph:

The more than 2,100 new members signed up suddenly to the BC Conservative party late last month had many fishy signs. But perhaps the most suspicious of all? Some of them were dead.
