Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced the Housing Accelerator Fund, a 4 billion dollar government spending initiative aimed at fast-tracking the creation of 100,000 new homes across Canada. Local governments are invited to create innovative action plans in line with flexible criteria to remove barriers to building more homes, faster. Trudeau made the announcement in Guelph, ON, with local MP Lloyd Longfield by his side and in front of construction workers who are likely to benefit from the construction of new homes. However, Trudeau's speech took a hyper-political turn as he defended his selection of former Governor General David Johnston to investigate Chinese election interference, which drew disapproval from the construction workers and made Longfield uncomfortable.
