CMHC is not run by the Prime Minister or the cabinet. It is a Crown Corporation governed by a Board of Directors. Mr. Carney has not "redefined affordable housing". https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/about-us/management-and-governance/board-of-directors-and-its-committees

It was the climate scientists that agreed +1.5 degrees was the threshold we shouldn't cross, and yes, it's too late.

That shouldn't prevent people from voting, though. Nobody needs to know how you vote. In the last presidential election, more eligible voters did not vote than they did for either Trump or Harris. You can hold your tongue at Thanksgiving, but express yourself without fear when it actually counts.

The idea was to give the Americans time to negotiate something before the tax came into effect. If they didn't do it in 3 years, I don't know why Carney thinks giving in will lead to any benefit for Canada.
