This should be a wake up call for NDP supporters to get serious on housing instead of drawing (what are currently) conspiratorial connections. If there's more to it than simply coincidence I'd be thrilled to hear it, but you can write this exact headline about the current government as well. Developers and REITS are big corporations and donate to all sorts of organizations.
Further, these REITs are profitting off the sky-high housing costs because housing supply is scarce. Their own financial disclosure documents will tell you the biggest threat to their profits is more supply. Pierre's promising to provide more supply. We can argue about how honestly he plans to actually implement these promises, but not what his supposed plans are.
