An excellent response by my former tax law prof. The changes to capital gains will not mean fewer doctors or less investment. These people will continue to be rich.

Since 2018, Ontario has ramped its spending on homelessness up by roughly 80 per cent, while lowering what it spends on community housing by 70 per cent. globalnews.ca/news/10442251/…
Pleased to see the Province finally acknowledging that IPV is an epidemic and taking a health approach to this challenge. thestar.com/opinion/editor…
According to @dougkwanACTO, fires in low-income communities are often more severe because “the landlord hasn't put smoke alarms on every floor or the smoke alarms are not functioning properly.” theijf.org/fatal-fires
People living in precarious housing are more vulnerable to serious incidents related to fire. TY @CBCNews for highlighting this story. cbc.ca/news/canada/to…

@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…

We’re pleased that the federal government has presented an ambitious housing plan, which has responded to calls from the non-profit sector for an acquisition fund, more funding for non-profit housing, and acknowledges that renters need more supports to ensure security of tenure.
Ottawa has finally funded the Canada Disability Benefit with $6.1 billion over six years. It will cover a max of $2,400 per person and be clawed back by family-income. But some questions remain. My story: thestar.com/politics/feder…

In 2022, 20 big landlords applied for >1/2 the Above Guideline rent Increases in Ontario. "AGIs are a common way to pressure longtime tenants to leave, allowing landlords to raise the rent to market rates for new tenants." We need stronger rent controls. cbc.ca/news/investiga…

All orders of government are responsible for ensuring Canadians have access to adequate housing choices. This budget still lacks a strong and clear plan that will deliver on the promise of an adequate right to housing for all, and the means to fully address our housing crisis.
We’re pleased that the federal government has presented an ambitious housing plan, which has responded to calls from the non-profit sector for an acquisition fund, more funding for non-profit housing, and acknowledges that renters need more supports to ensure security of tenure.

In the past decade, average rents in Ontario have increased by THREE TIMES the official provincial rent increase guideline! Check out our new primer on #rentcontrol from @ricardo_tranjan and @vargatoth: monitormag.ca/reports/rent-c…
My hot take is that we NEED to include student housing, LTC beds, rooming houses, housing for agricultural workers… all the homes that previously weren’t counted (& the ppl in them didn’t count in housing policy). AND we need to revise housing supply needs upwards. Big time.
NEW: First LTC beds and now student housing. While the CMHC doesn’t count them as new homes, the Ford government will start counting student housing towards its home building targets. globalnews.ca/news/10410474/… #onpoli
