Calgary Herald: 'Poilievre, the frontrunner in the race to be new leader of the federal Conservatives, threw down his gloves and started to throw punches at one ugly opponent: bloated, inflated and ever growing housing prices.
'You know your message has hit home when folks across the political spectrum react strongly, with even your critics reluctantly praising your point of view. An example of such grudging praise came from progressive urban planner Brent Toderian of Vancouver, who worried about Poilievre taking the lead on the housing file: “It’s not a good thing if a pretty awful federal leadership candidate like Poilievre is allowed to seize the issue of housing supply and home prices…”
'Every candidate should make building more homes a priority, Toderian quite rightly noted.'
