It's a national housing strategy. It's a national strategy, for housing. It's a housing strategy, only it's national. It's a strategy for national housing…That gives you the flavour of much of the coverage of the Trudeau government's new National Housing Strategy. Had it simply been billed as a plan to spend more money on housing it might not have excited quite such admiring notice. But somehow those two words — “national” and “strategy” — seem to have a peculiarly bewitching effect. It is enough to recommend it that it is, or is called, a national strategy. What's actually in the strategy? Who cares!
