"We have to do more to give people hope when they're suffering with mental illness — give people a sense that they can take back control of their lives," Poilievre said, citing the promotion of fitness as a way to combat mental health issues.

Supporting a robust public healthcare system with national pharmacare will go a long way towards that.

Supporting affordable childcare will go a long way towards that.

Having an actual environmental policy will go a long way towards that.

Listening to actual experts instead of random xitter posts will go a long way towards that.

Actually supporting workers instead of just paying lip service and only supporting billionaires will go a long way towards that.

In fact, just disappearing entirely will go a long way towards that.

What about a housing minister who said housing prices need to stay perpetually elevated as boomers nest egg, is that doing well for new family formation?

We will take on new debt and future austerity to fund present consumption, we just wont fix systemic issues.

Either this reply was meant for another thread or this is an absolutely wonderful example of whataboutism and straw man!

Well give me a party that wants to help family formation and I'd support them, at the moment we juggle between the two.
