No mention of the NDP. If only that was the "something different" people were willing to try.

People are mad, I don't blame them for being mad. I blame them for being stupid enough to think the Conservatives will make anything better.

We spent 11 years under Harper watching housing prices skyrocket too, even with the global housing collapse in the middle he still left prices 40% higher than when they started.

The conservatives are going to get 4 years, and they're going to spend the entire time blaming the fact that things are still getting worse on the Liberals. They may even get a second 4 years before people realize that the Conservatives also can't(or won't) fix the affordability problems.

Harper implemented the points system for immigration. This caused house prices to skyrocket because only the wealthy were allowed into Canada and they can pay it. Then they buy up a bunch of houses and rent each room out to students to pay the mortgage and not have to work.
