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.

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.

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.

Better tax breaks and incentives for first time buyers

The feds doubled first time home buyer's tax credit (2022), set up a "first home savings account" (2023), offers a home buyer's plan, and some provinces offer their own rebates.

And as a reminder, even when the feds offer tax breaks to help people, Provinces bitch and complain, like with the recent announcement of a tax-break on certain consumer goods.

higher restrictions on foreign and corporate ownership of single family homes. Etc.

The feds announced an extension on bans on foreign ownership of Canadian housing.

Lower tax rates on earnings for people near and below a living wage, which itself is indexed to inflation.

There are a LOT of tax credits, rebates, and support for low-income individuals and families. Sure, we can always do more, but the feds have not stopped announcing new programs and extending existing ones.

Not while the Liberals held a majority from 2015-2019

Was affordability and housing prices a major problem back then? I don't seem to recall any of the same ongoing reports of people struggling back then.

Things like minimum wage are set by Provinces and territories. Only federal employees are impacted by the federal government's minimum wages.

We should demand more from our federal government. The Liberals have been bad, and I don’t understand the view that they’ve done well under the circumstances. They haven’t. I read your comment as apologism for the Liberals, and I genuinely don’t understand that position.

Yes, we should always demand more. No doubt.

But it seems like the things you're asking for are already in place, and/or are the responsibility of the Provincial government.
