Isn't that the whole point of a "Team Canada approach"? All the provinces have their own needs and abilities, but we need some sort of coordination to make sure we're all aiming for the same goal. And while housing may not directly be their responsibility the feds should be there for the assist with whatever the provinces need but can't do themselves.

And while housing may not directly be their responsibility the feds should be there for the assist with whatever the provinces need but canโ€™t do themselves.

What I've observed is that the feds can give provinces all the money they like, but if the provinces are misspending or not spending those funds, you see no results.

This happened in Ontario during the pandemic. The Ford government underspent in healthcare while doctors and nurses begged for relief. It cost their lives, and the quality of our healthcare to drop significantly.

At the same time, this government has $48 million to remove bike lanes from Toronto, and apparently billions to build an underground tunnel for cars under the 401.

The feds can only do so much when provinces are incapable of producing effective leadership.
