Flipboard News DeskCanada goes to the polls on April 28. Investigative journalist <a href="https://mastodon.online/@justinling" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@justinling</a> has a new series, Chaos Campaign, following the issues and events leading up to the election. Here's his story about how the different parties want to address one of the country's most challenging problems — the housing shortage. His conclusions: The Greens and New Democrats: Nonsense hokum. The Conservatives: Good, but incomplete. The Liberals: Great, but can we trust them? "The only thing to do now is to absolutely grill your local candidates on how they will, personally — not as a party — advocate for strong solutions to the housing crisis," Ling writes. "We got into this mess because of endemic buck-passing and the ability for a small group of anti-development yahoos to hijack the conversation. The only way out of this is to demand accountability and make it clear that we want more homes."<a href="https://flip.it/tK5NYy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://flip.it/tK5NYy</a><a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Canada</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianNews" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanadianNews</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianElection" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanadianElection</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/MarkCarney" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MarkCarney</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/PierrePoilievre" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PierrePoilievre</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CaPoli" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CaPoli</a> <a href="https://flipboard.social/tags/CanadianPolitics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CanadianPolitics</a>
