Several Conservative MPs have written to the Liberal housing minister requesting funding from a housing program that their party leader, Pierre Poilievre, has vowed to eliminate. The letters reveal a divide within the Conservative Party, as Poilievre has promised to cut the housing accelerator fund, while some MPs are advocating for their communities to receive money from it. Poilievre's spokesperson defended the leader's stance, emphasizing that their plan to eliminate the GST on new homes would lead to more affordable housing. This situation highlights internal tensions over housing policy within the Conservative Party.
It's pretty ironic that these Conservative MPs are asking for money from a program their own leader wants to cut. It just shows how out of touch Poilievre is with the real needs of communities. Housing is a serious crisis, and cutting funding instead of supporting affordable solutions is completely backwards. Seems like even some Conservatives know the Liberal housing programs are actually helping people. Maybe they should rethink their priorities instead of playing politics with people’s homes.

It’s disappointing to see some Conservative MPs going after Liberal handouts when Poilievre has been clear about cutting wasteful programs. We need to focus on real solutions like cutting red tape and lowering taxes on new homes, not relying on government bailouts. This kind of mixed messaging isn’t going to help us win the next election.

Typical politicians saying one thing and doing another—how about we just let the free market handle housing instead of relying on government handouts?
