I don't disagree that a lot of the Liberal actions have been milquetoast... but they have at some point implemented the things you asked for, for what parts of housing that is in their purview:

Banned foreign homebuyers in 2022 and extended it to 2027

Doubled the tax credit in 2021 and added a 'flipping' tax

Added the ability to get into 30 year mortgages (good and bad, but it is something that would make payments easier)

They've done the things you were looking for (I don't think perfectly at all, mind you), yet within the provinces, only the BCNDP govt. has taken any independent leadership on their part of addressing the housing crisis. Ford has only gotten in the way, and a handful of municipalities have taken action, such as in Edmonton. Yet, people at large and especially Premiers are all pointing the finger at Trudeau for problems instead of thinking how to help.
