Affordability Mirage

The article criticizes the Canadian political parties' proposed solutions to the country's economic woes in the lead-up to the April 28 federal election. It argues that these parties, despite offering "affordability" measures, fail to address the underlying issues of exploding income inequality, widespread poverty, and inflation-driven real wage cuts. The author dismisses these proposed measures as inadequate, likening them to a "Band-Aid" solution for deep-seated problems. The article suggests that the political establishment is not offering substantial solutions to the real economic hardships faced by the majority of the population. find the original article here: https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2025/04/03/csxg-a03.html
