I'm really happy for Roberto Luongo right now.

This is not a great sign. The purpose of supply reforms is to cause the price floor of new housing to go down. This drives more demand into new builds vs existing homes, causing the price of existing homes to also go down. It is particularly concerning that the former Mayor

Gregor Robertson So home ownership should be forever denied to younger generations to protect the over inflated assets of Canada's most prosperous demographic?

Steve Saretsky Why are you sacrificing Canadian young peoples’ futures, to protect boomers millionnaire retirements? Gregor Robertson

Canada’s new housing minister, who insisted that house prices should stay high, allegedly hid $11 million in real estate assets. Elbows up

The fastest growing expenditures in the budget are debt charges & seniors benefits. If we're going to actually tackle public spending especially with an aging population, we need to fix OAS. Starting clawbacks around $100k would save billions and be fundamentally fairer.

OAS absolutely needs to be reformed Start the clawback sooner and do asset testing (increase GIS to make it more politically palatable) We simply can't continue giving so much money to millionaires Boomers. It is fundamentally unfair

If someone isn't willing to hire Canadian in the middle of a youth jobs crisis, Canada doesn't need their restaurant.
