In the decade of Liberal policy, that bargain has been blown to pieces. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9030350\" data-originallang=\"en\">A CTV report this weekend showed that even families earning $200,000 are being driven out of Toronto because they cannot afford a basement rental, a home or anything else. Last year, 35,000 households fled the GTA, not because they wanted to, but because they had to. </p>\n<p data-HoCid=\"9030351\" data-originallang=\"en\">Is \u201cmove somewhere cheaper\u201d the new official government slogan of the Liberals for Canadians who cannot afford to stay in their homes?</p>",
