Seems like for every new dollar the Feds put into housing, the provincial conservatives will reduce their spending in that area by more than a dollar. This goes beyond simply being incompetent.

The vast majority of Toronto neighbourhoods have fewer people living in them today than in 1971, despite a doubling in overall in population. Toronto needs to upzone these neighbourhoods to 6-8 storeys, in particular.

If you earn $350k because you're a doctor, save lives, and do real productive work, you pay $140k in taxes. If you buy an investment property, do literally nothing to it, then sell it for $350k more than you paid for it, you pay $55k* in taxes. *presuming no other income
Just found out a friend is selling off an investment property because of the 🇨🇦 government raising the captial gains tax. How many more will rush to sell before the June 25th deadline?
There it is. Let's remember, evictions are traumatic, can ruin lives and can easily result in homelessness - especially when there's nowhere affordable to go. So, why do govts entrust solving the housing crisis to an industry that is helping to create it?
@StatCan_eng has just released a new report on evictions in Canada, which shows that #evictions are on the rise. Mirroring BSH research, evictions for sale, landlord-use or renovation are now the top reason for eviction, not non-payment of rent. www150.statcan.gc.ca/n1/daily-quoti…
