Excessive Taxation & Housing Affordability for Many Canadians Is A Really Big Problem...

New "smartgrowth" building in the centre of town
- rentals for over 55 age group only - 

There is no shortage of land and its a really big country so what is the problem?  Why is home ownership so difficult for so many in Canada in this day and age?
We are all overtaxed. Young people are struggling to find jobs and to pay off student loans.  Government is growing and no one seems to care about the over-burdened taxpayers.  Our politicians grow government and increase taxation only.


Cost of living has gone up and wages have not and Canada has taken on millions and millions of newcomers to compete in the job market supposedly to grow the economy but compete ALSO for housing and resources .. why?  Bad planning..... Period.



Let's bring in another 600,000 newcomers to Toronto in 2020 More Than 283,000 Families Are On An Affordable Housing Waitlist

You may have heard of double taxation. It means that property owners pay taxes to their city or town as well as the province. It applies to non-owner-occupied properties like apartment buildings and cottages, as well as to commercial properties and factories.
New Brunswick is the only province that charges double tax, and we think it’s a big problem. It’s unfair to New Brunswick property owners and renters, and it discourages real estate investment and business development when we should be trying to grow our economy.
We’ve been asking for an end to double taxation since 2010, and this election we’re doubling down. We’re joining New Brunswick’s apartment owners in asking politicians to commit to ending double taxation. It’s better for New Brunswick, it’s better for New Brunswickers, and it just makes sense.
