Mr. Speaker, taxes, debt and inflation to pay off politicians in exchange for press releases and photo ops will not solve the problem. What it has done is double housing costs and made Toronto and Vancouver the most expensive housing markets in North America, worse than New York, Los Angeles, Chicago and many other places with more people and money and much less land.
Here is a choice. The Prime Minister is afraid of a carbon tax election. Why do we not have a different kind? Why do we not have a housing tax election? When he proposes to give money to politicians, I propose to put it in the pockets of homebuyers.
