📢 NEW OP-ED "The challenges we face—from housing affordability to climate resilience—are permanent. Our solutions must be too." With US tariffs threatening Canadian industries and workers, we need solutions that both address immediate pressures and build long-term resilience. In this timely piece, Affordability Action Council members Brendan Haley and Evan Fraser outline three practical approaches that could provide immediate relief while creating lasting economic strength: 🍲 A permanent Groceries and Essentials Benefit providing predictable monthly support to 9.7 million families 🏠 An ambitious home retrofit program targeting 100,000 low-income households annually 🚌 Accelerated public transit funding to put 1,700 currently idle buses back in service, creating jobs and improving community mobility This isn't just about weathering the current storm but building systems that prevent future crises from hitting vulnerable Canadians the hardest.
