Agreed:
Financialized landlords…
(like GWL Realty Advisors, Dream Ultd, Starlight, Minto, Brookfield, etc)
…should NOT be accessing supports when they are literally pricing people out of their homes.

From the 1960 Toronto Labour Yearbook piece - Housing in Toronto:
“It matters not one row of beans how many houses are being built or many many houses or flats are lying vacant. If they can not be sold or rented at a maximum price of 23% of income, they are too expensive.”

Savings = $0. Thats because housing prices aren't a function of cost, they're a function of what the market will bare. 1/2

Alright, first up today was Poilievre!
His announcement? A plan to reimburse cities for half of every dollar they cut in development charges (which fund new infrastructure for housing like sewers and roads)
This + ditching GST on new homes under 1.3 million = $115,000 saved per home, he claims.
