The short answer would be no, it would not have any affect at all. The long answer is that it absolutely infuriates me that the government that is supposed to be acting on our behalf is willing to dump more than $1 billion into a buyback from legal owners, and the $250 million that's been promised over the past six years still hasn't been filtered down to the provinces and the municipalities. That is a drop in the bucket compared to what communities across Canada require to do the real work.
