We’ll boost Canadian industries, cut red tape, and partner with workers to build nearly 500,000 new homes a year — the fastest pace since the Second World War.

We’ve done it before — and we know how to do it again.

BREAKING Liberal Policy Announcement Building More Homes with Canadian Lumber Create Build Canada Homes (BCH) to deliver affordable housing at scale, including on public land. Invest $25B in prefabricated housing factories using Canadian softwood lumber and mass timber. Cut municipal development charges in half for 5 years to lower building costs. Reintroduce a major tax incentive to unlock new rental housing. Expand apprenticeships and skilled trades training to grow our workforce. Launch a $1B retrofit plan to make homes more climate-resilient and energy-efficient. Fund home upgrades like sump pumps, roof repairs, and window replacements. Use a reformed carbon credit system so big polluters — not taxpayers — cover the cost.

With Bernie Sanders unlikely to run for president again, the question now is who will lead the network he built into 2028 and beyond. In interviews, many progressive Democrats said there was one clear leader for the job: Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York. www.nytimes.com/2025/03/23/u...
