Reddit is roasting Poilievre, but I agree with Poilievre, here: we need to get an ethics committee to investigate this.

Carney and Eby keep saying that their housing plan that they announced on June 18th isn't a bailout, but every word that comes out of their mouth continues to make it sound like a bailout.

RE: https://techhub.social/@manlycoffee/116607639831774824

Canada is utterly incompetent with regards to housing.

What I'd opt for:

- ban improvements taxes; taxes should only be levied against the land not the improvements on them

- ban single-family zonings (sure, single family is allowed, just that municipalities are not allowed to ban higher occupancy)

- ban municipalities and provinces from levying annual rent control (maybe rent increase regulations to make it tolerable for tenants, but that's it)

- reduce the time for landlords to evict delinquent tenants

- Canada must compete with landlords rather than regulating against them; instead of regulating, lead by example! Increase supply (the government can be as selfish as it wants; charge as much rent as it wants, but it needs to remain operationally viable to cover taxes and other costs to unoccupied unit, so in competing with landlords, it may need to drop the rent, but NOT out of charity but out of operational necessity)
