So, what exactly is the difference between him and Poilievre, at this point?

Pretty much nothing except abortion and weed and gay marriage. I can't trust that the conservatives would leave any of that alone.

Pierre wanted housing prices to fall, Mark Carney and his new housing minister want housing prices to remain elevated in order for boomers to cash out their windfalls.

Pierre was never going to do anything different. He just has a different set of rich donors demanding the exact same outcomes. I know a ton of Conservative voters, and all they talk about is how much money they'd stand to lose if the Liberals take over. Not one of them was voting to "lower the cost of housing".

He at least ran on lowering home prices so could be called out for breaking his promises. The Liberals ran on the exact same platform they did before, creating "affordable housing" while simultaneously making housing unaffordable.
Their main attack on Pierre was that he built no affordable government housing during his term, which is what they view as success even though housing was less than half the cost when he was housing minister.

Ummm...Poilievre never had a term. What they were attacking him for, was that his plan for making housing more affordable wasn't going to actually do anything to make housing more affordable. Like everything else he came up with, it was just a slogan with no plan to back it up.

Matching immigration to housing completions doesn't lead to lower prices?

Explain how he "planned" to do that.
