Canada's Trudeau government has begun building new homes in a deal with municipalities under the Housing Accelerator Fund to address the housing shortage crisis.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Wednesday $74 million to help build 2,000 new homes in London, Ontario.

The City of London has become the first city in Canada to reach an agreement with the federal government under the Housing Accelerator Fund.

Under this deal, 2,000 new houses will be built in the city over three years.

According to the Liberal government, the goal of the Housing Accelerator Fund is to build 100,000 housing units in the country.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau arrived in London City to attend a party meeting.

It may be noted that the Liberals announced the Housing Accelerator Fund during the election campaign in 2021 and presented it in the 2022 federal budget, while it was officially launched in March this year.

The government says that agreements will be made with other municipalities in the country like London.

London Mayor Josh Morgan said that he wants this agreement on the issue of housing construction to set an example for the rest of the country.

It is worth mentioning that the pressure on the Trudeau government regarding the housing crisis has increased a lot in the last few months.

The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation says in a new report that 3.5 million additional homes will need to be built by 2030 to reach 2004 levels of affordability.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau made this announcement at a time when construction sites are already struggling with labor shortage.

Former United Conservative MLAs resuscitating Alberta's once-dominant PC Party

Two former members of Alberta's governing United Conservative Party are resuscitating the province's once-dominant Progressive Conservative Party. Former infrastructure minister Peter Guthrie and legislature member Scott Sinclair were booted from caucus earlier this year for pushing back against the Premier Danielle Smith's government and now sit as Independents. Sinclair says the province's two-party system has become too divisive, and they want to galvanize support from Albertans who feel they don't have a political home. Former NDP premier Rachel Notley ended the PC's 44-year

Sean 'Diddy' Combs acquitted of most serious charges, convicted of prostitution-related offenses

Sean ``Diddy Combs has been convicted of prostitution-related offenses but acquitted on the most serious charges at his New York trial on Wednesday. The mixed result could still put Combs behind bars for up to a decade. Combs was convicted of transporting people across state lines for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. But the jury acquitted him of racketeering conspiracy and sex trafficking charges, which were related to allegations that he forced girlfriends into hundreds of drug-fueled sex marathons with other men. His lawyers said the women were willing participants.
