It's Political with Althia Raj

Unpacking the parties' housing promises

Conservative party infighting! Candidate removals! U.S. President Donald Trump’s tariffs!

There’s been a lot of issues flying around this election campaign but one thing might be flying below the radar: the parties' actual policy proposals.

Today, we offer the first in a series examining policy offerings. We’ll unpack issues that matter to you, and matter to the politicians hoping to represent you.

First off: housing. Carolyn Whitzman, an adjunct professor and housing researcher and the University of Toronto’s School of Cities joins us to discuss the housing crisis. Then Mike Moffatt, the founding director of the Missing Middle Initiative will join host Althia Raj to discuss what the Liberals, Conservatives and NDP have so far promised and whether it goes far enough to address the crisis.

This episode of “It’s Political” was produced by Althia Raj and Kevin Sexton. Kevin also mixed this show. Our theme music is by Isaac Joel.

Some of the clips this week were sourced from Empire Club of Canada, CPAC, CBC and CTV.
