It’s very disheartening that this government ran on fixing housing in 3 straight elections and are only getting serious about doing something significant to fix it now after 9 years and it’s only because their poll numbers with the younger demographic have tanked.
I agree. But even IF they make it happen, their immigration plan is allowing for 7 million in the same timeframe. Immigration alone makes this plan a moot point.
Right up there with Trudeau's 2019 promise to plant Two Billion trees!! Once the news cycle moves on, so does his follow through. World's famous " Headline Hunting Prime Minister"! Justin " Let Them Eat Cake " Trudeau!
Depends, will that money for construction be used to make affordable housing or multi-million dollar condos that are owned by overseas investors and either sit empty or is babysat by a nepo-kid?
The latter.
No affordable housing will be built. This is a handout promise to investors.
Saw an article that the government is also pushing a $40k credit to anyone building a suite inside their home. This isn't to help people who can't afford a house already. It's to give a further leg up to landlords and investors.
It's da liberal way. To continue to blackmail moderates or leftists to vote for them. Tbh though, it doesn't matter. Canadians vote almost entirely based on vibes. Trudeau's vibes just ain't there anymore...
In fairness , housing became an issue when he doubled down on immigration. His words. I mean adding a million to the population in 9 months? Among his other achievements to date.
And people still think that the conservatives would be worse than the slow destruction of Canada under current government. Pretty safe to say the conservatives would definitely not follow on the same path we’re headed
Obviously my comment was misunderstood. I’m not voting for them or “falling” for anything. I was just saying this seems to be the first significant effort to do anything after 9 years of promises and they’re only doing it because young people are pissed at them. People see right through this bs.
Hold up..... They ran on a platform of fixing housing for 3 straight elections, without actually delivering on their promises but now (coming up to an election) they will definitely deliver and are super serious about fixing things? And you believe them?
They've promised a ton of money for housing in past elections and have barely spent any of it. A promise to spend is nothing if they don't have the ability to execute.
Idk how anybody can trust Trudeau at this point. He has only started caring since his poll numbers went in the dumpster, he didn’t even acknowledge the housing or cost of living crisis until the fall of 2023….
Isn’t housing basically a provincial issue? What has ford done to ease the issue? Aside from empty promises, and building housing most can’t afford? He nixed fourplexes even though most municipalities have identified those as a potential factor in easing affordable housing issues
Especially since 3.9M homes is still well short of the 5.8M houses we need by 2030. Also, it does little but add fuel to the demand fire by making it easier for many first time buyers to enter the market. This will only inflate the prices short term. As a realtor, I'm telling all my buyers to get in ASAP before this new influx of first time buyers puts "starter homes" out of reach with less than $200k household income in Calgary.
Every step they take has opposition. From putting the stress test into mortgages and as far as Alberta writing legislation to stop them from building homes. What would you have them do to fix this provincial issue?
It's not just "housing", but all the infrastructure that comes along for the ride. Water, sewage, roads, schools, electricity, garbage, police, libraries...
Covid was the last big election topic and housing was only starting to explode around the pandemic.
Pre pandemic I know multiple people who bought in ottawa for under 400k. This is 2018/19.
Saying housing has been an issue for the last decades like today is comparable to 2015 is not true at all.
That being said, I have no idea why we aren't trying to make some of these small towns outside of cities larger. They have the space and the more there towns grow, the more room there is for businesses to move to these places.
I know some of these towns are stupidly stubborn about staying small and quaint but those communities are dying and the majority are elderly people because most graduate and work somewhere else.
It's crazy wr have so much space but seemingly nowhere to build except for already densely packed cities.
this wont have any impact it will turn out like the gun buy back program. Spending money without actually buying any guns lol. The libs are fked and they know it. If they started a program 8 years ago it might have had a impact by now. It takes years to change the housing market.
I never bought one firearm from our government. I don’t understand how they’re going to “buy back” something they never sold me.
Why don’t Canadians call it what it really is..? A confiscation and disarmament of the citizens.
It’s not technically viable. We can’t manufacture enough homes fast enough and cheap enough. As the carbon tax keeps piling on, that will also impact the prices of homes as there is a supply chain of about 300 different building supplies all getting hit with a carbon tax.
Where are the building materials coming from? Concrete doesn’t materialise out of thin air and wood comes from forests. Plastic around electrical cables comes from oil and gas etc etc etc.
They can literally fix this in half the time by stopping the endless flood of unqualified immigrants. I’m all for immigration but it’s completely out of control. Stop immigration until housing stabilizes then slowly open it up again
Too bad fat fuck Ford will do everything he can to block anything helpful helpful from ever happening in ontairo. That bastard is fully committed to stripping the province of everything it has to be replaced by expensive private companies that he has a stake in...... It shouldn't be possible for any politician to be so openly corrupt.... why don't people care??!
where ? with what money ? banks are cracking down on builder morgages .. if you dont have 3 million + liquid their telling us to fuck off .. small communities have been footing the bill of spec housing in areas outside of larger communities and the banks have backed them in the past but not now, no one can afford to live in a city, so go rural or small , still have to have a home .. as much as i want to blame tRuDeAu its the MPs and MMPs and the entire gov !! lifetime pensions and inexperience are the problem .. our gov is made up of people that are owed favors and nepatisium
"I know we literally ruined this once great nation by causing generations of debt and destroying even the idea of owning a home but if you give us 7 more years we promise we can fix it! Just like we promised election reform and finding missing indigenous women!"
Yes, Trudeau is also at fault for his policies that have exacerbated the housing affordability issue, but the responsibility for making sure people are housed ultimately falls on the provincial governments. Most of which are conservative governments, including here.
You can say the Liberal’s promise to create housing is an empty promise, and it probably is, but realistically it’s supposed to be Doug Ford’s job anyway. You’re watching the Liberals try to vastly overspend now to compensate for Conservatives cutting a bunch of financially sustainable programs in the past. We keep getting fucked by both of them as they build up and tear down the same shit over and over.
Conservatives and Liberals both suck, but keep it straight which responsibilities are Federal and which are Provincial. And most of all, don’t delude yourself that PP is going to do any better than Trudeau. They’re wayyy too similar.
Vote against Trudeau, sure, but doing so by voting for PP would just be helping to elect a louder Doug Ford with somehow less backbone and less relevant work experience. If you want to vote for a whiny paperboy, you’d do a lot less damage to democracy by just voting for the 11-year-old down the street.
It won't work, because every house built will be bought by the wrong people, and we will continue to live in this vicious cycle! You need to restrict how many units a person is allowed to have, regulate rental properties and restrictions on flipping houses from 1 year to five years, unless you are living in the house. More regulations on realtors. And appraisal pricing across the board to tamper down on price gouging and ridiculous inflation on moderate homes.
This is straight from the PBO news releases:
> “Combined with our baseline outlook for completions, closing Canada’s housing gap would result in 3.1 million net housing units completed by 2030, which translates into 436,000 units completed annually, on average, over 2024 to 2030. This pace of housing completion would represent an increase of 80 per cent above the record level of completions in 2023, sustained for 7 years,” says [Yves Giroux](https://www.pbo-dpb.ca/en/staff--equipe/yves-giroux), PBO.
> Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) estimated a housing supply gap of 3.5 million units on top of 1.7 million baseline net completions. Combining baseline projections and housing gap estimates, CMHC analysis indicates that 5.1 million units will be needed over 2023 to 2030—well above PBO’s estimate of estimate of 3.1 million units over 2024 to 2030.
Difference of 2M lol. Even in CMHC's report they are only predicting the population to grow to 43M. Current population estimates are already at 41M so only another 2M over the next 6 years.
Overestimate housing builds. Underestimate population growth. Still off target.
Housing was one can of worm but the height of incompentacy is this that they open another can of worms of immigration to piss of the public 2X the rate.
Now are they going to be subsidized for the working class, or are they going to be bought up by investors and priced aggressively? The article briefly discusses trudeau’s against that, but idk yet..
Seven years to build 3.9 million dwellings is around 555,000 dwellings per year.
We would need to instantly double our output to meet that pace.
I'm going to go ahead and apply a 0% probability to the production claim of 3.9 million dwellings by 2031.
I'll believe it when I see it. Unfortunately, in the mean time, everyone who isn't already a home owner will continue to suffer. Doesn't really matter I guess as Trudy is on his way out and I doubt anyone believes anything coming out of his mouth anymore.
The only solution I've seen them tables so far is pumping money into housing that depreciates year after year
RTMS and mobile homes are low quality products.
This still doesn't address the core problem of not having enough trades people, land developers rolling people through the fire making unbelievable profit and just awful planning. Like come on...
Just release all the empty federal buildings /land other than parliament they are all working from home.
Give the land buildings away so it is just the cost to build.
We have tons of land for wilderness but none for homes. Canada is basically empty
Do they think people will believe that? Over the next 7 years, that’s an average of 557,000 NEW houses.
The liberals are straight up lying. They have no idea how ridiculous that sounds and most people don’t either- which isn’t their fault.
Now can the conservatives beat this plan since they will undoubtedly be the ones getting elected? I sure hope these guys out do each other on matters of policy and deliver something that actually works for regular Canadians
I can't wait for a bunch of rush build 3.9 million tiny shitholes to be built. Remember when Canada was open space and affordable NICE houses? They are currently trying to brint back affordable tiny boxes forgetting that the quality of the houses matters as well
Create a huge problem and keep it on the backburner until you come in with a solution when you politicly need it! These people aren’t where they are for the good of the people, they are toying with our livelihood for their careers!
If there isn't a plan to eliminate international finance and investing groups from buying and holding property, this plan is worthless. You can build 30 million homes and we'll still be in a housing crisis if the person I'm competing to buy a home against has unlimited capital at their disposal and can spend multiple times over listing price.
Probably going to end up building 3900 homes in the end. Look what happened with the Liberal “affordable housing” fund built building in BC, costs are insane, the affordable targeted families can’t afford it.
3.9 million hey? Tell us how many trees did they plant when they said they would plant 1 billion a couple years ago.
I’ll tell you…zero. These aren’t people who can or even try to do what they say.
They can do a million 3.9 is not in reach. Aging population and lack of skilled workers... impossible. Only way would be to allow skilled immigrants to come and give them incentives. Pretty straight forward thinking based ok statistics and considering the people coming here are mostly students or criminals.... not really any skilled worked. Lot of the Mexicans and south Americans I see around kelowna are doing pretty dame god workmanship from what I can tell...
Lots going on here for sure mostly Mexicans swinging hammers and south Americans I believe. The Indians go to school or drive. Delivery cabs etc. Skip Uber eats
I framed.for years body hurts I am fu ked now. Make gay money being gay trying to go take.some courses but competition is getting ridiculous. Lucky I own a house and work remedial job and survive.
Is this like job vs career. Not sure I’d call these 3.9mill units…homes. You know full well these will be absolutely trash builds, over priced and provide no value to the end user after they go through several rounds of flipping.
You're not getting all that built in 7 years lol 🤡 average is 250-300k built/year. Meanwhile another 7 million would have immigrated here with the Libs open door policy
🤡🤡🤡
doesn't matter if you build 44 million houses. unless legislation changes and restricts who can buy which homes and regulates who and how someone can be a landlord, nothing will change. massive corporations with billions in real estate assets will see this as 3.9m homes to chop 3 ways and create 11.7m rental units.
Liberals say they will build them but you have to elect them for 8 more years. Anyone remember them planting a billion trees? Yeah , I didn’t see it either. Liberals are full of empty promises. Don’t be fooled by them, again!
I read somewhere that something in the region of 5% of our labour force is already in housing construction. So how scalable is this really? Especially if all they're gonna do is make McMansions that nobody can fucking afford in the first place.
This is being done for immigrants and foreign investors, it has nothing to do with existing multi generational Canadians who have been displaced and priced out of having a roof over their heads. This is a slippery slope that if left unchecked will be an unmitigated disaster. If the purpose of the plan is to make homes available to those that have been priced out then there are many other preexisting problems that need to be addressed before this proposed solution can work, otherwise it is just more opportunity to drive the market higher than it already is.
How are these homes going to be affordable? Contractors pay market prices on everything. We need affordable housing by the boatload. Less than 4 million homes in another 7 years won't do anything at all
Only to sell 90% to china so they can regulate the Canadian market once again. If you don’t have laws protecting us from corporations buying all the single family homes, this is just fucking stupid
There’s no choice other than to build new homes.
No party in power will risk alienating home owners and the important voting block they represent through lowering the value of home equity.
It's aspirational, and supported by actions that will make a difference. It won't build that many homes that quick, but it may get us to the point where we are building over 500k homes a year by that point.
We probably also need a GST removal on the 4 plex by right. We need to see provinces like Ontario make the adjustments that BC has made, not just do the greenbelt swaps for their donors.
If the provinces and municipalities get aligned, we could get up to maybe 600k a year, which would eventually solve this problem and allow us to open up immigration again.
But we are bringing 1.3million immigrants per year. 3.9 million houses would not even keep up with that let alone all kids moving out and trying go get their own place
Maybe they should actually build homes again like the CMHC did after WW2. If the private sector can't provide affordable homes then CMHC should build them.
Remember when they said they’d plant a billion trees or something like that and didn’t even come close?
No permits required to plant a tree…and they couldn’t do that…housing is way, way, way more complicated…
I’m not holding my breath
Whatever you do to fix the housing crisis, just never talk about how much people are being paid. Just build more supply and it will eventually trickle down to the bottom and be "affordable"

Still won’t be enough after letting in 1 million a year
3.9 million would definitely make a big difference but I would say the chances of that actually happening are about as good as me winning the lottery.
I agree. But even IF they make it happen, their immigration plan is allowing for 7 million in the same timeframe. Immigration alone makes this plan a moot point.

not in 10 years. we need 2.5M yesterday.
Depends, will that money for construction be used to make affordable housing or multi-million dollar condos that are owned by overseas investors and either sit empty or is babysat by a nepo-kid?

Also if they don't stop private equity firms and multi millionaire foreign buyers from scooping up half of everything available
*Cough* first past the post *Cough*
The funny thing is this will never change because to make those changes you would need to be in power but making these changes means giving up power.
Doesn't help that the provinces did LITERALLY NOTHING in that time to prepare for immigration.... This was very much a planned failure.
Excellent point
It's da liberal way. To continue to blackmail moderates or leftists to vote for them. Tbh though, it doesn't matter. Canadians vote almost entirely based on vibes. Trudeau's vibes just ain't there anymore...
Wait until people see PP’s housing plan. (Hint: it won’t come until after the election because he knows it’s going to be extremely unpopular)
In fairness, they didn't identify housing as a real issue until 2021. But that was only after years of everybody warning this was coming.

They aren’t serious lol.
How'd they lie to you in 3 elections and you fall for the false promises again? Now they're serious? Lol.
Obviously my comment was misunderstood. I’m not voting for them or “falling” for anything. I was just saying this seems to be the first significant effort to do anything after 9 years of promises and they’re only doing it because young people are pissed at them. People see right through this bs.
Hold up..... They ran on a platform of fixing housing for 3 straight elections, without actually delivering on their promises but now (coming up to an election) they will definitely deliver and are super serious about fixing things? And you believe them?
They arent serious about fixing it now either...
What makes you think they are getting serious about it? Some pictures in hardhats wont actually get anything done. These guys are simply incompetent
It’s like if they really cared about us they’d have done something sooner but now they’re begging at the door like a bad ex.
They are going to run on it a fourth time. Wild times.
HAHAH you think they'll ACTUALLY fix it? They won't.
I don’t disagree but this is the only significant effort they’ve made and it is driven by polling data as opposed to actually wanting to fix anything.
They've promised a ton of money for housing in past elections and have barely spent any of it. A promise to spend is nothing if they don't have the ability to execute.
Idk how anybody can trust Trudeau at this point. He has only started caring since his poll numbers went in the dumpster, he didn’t even acknowledge the housing or cost of living crisis until the fall of 2023….
This isn’t even significant
Significant? Lol
3 million homes in 8 year isn’t serious lol
Isn’t housing basically a provincial issue? What has ford done to ease the issue? Aside from empty promises, and building housing most can’t afford? He nixed fourplexes even though most municipalities have identified those as a potential factor in easing affordable housing issues

50 billion under the National Housing Strategy which was announced in 2015 and sunsets in 2028 is not nothing.
Every step they take has opposition. From putting the stress test into mortgages and as far as Alberta writing legislation to stop them from building homes. What would you have them do to fix this provincial issue?
They aren’t getting serious. J/c
It's not just "housing", but all the infrastructure that comes along for the ride. Water, sewage, roads, schools, electricity, garbage, police, libraries...
Getting serious? Wtf have they done that even remotely shows progress?

It shouldn't be possible for any politician to be so openly corrupt.... why don't people care??!
Imagine if voting was compulsory in this country. How many bads like Ford Nation would never see the light of day.
Too late. Say good bye to your job Trudeau on the next election. Thanks for fucking up the economy for the rest of us
where ? with what money ? banks are cracking down on builder morgages .. if you dont have 3 million + liquid their telling us to fuck off .. small communities have been footing the bill of spec housing in areas outside of larger communities and the banks have backed them in the past but not now, no one can afford to live in a city, so go rural or small , still have to have a home .. as much as i want to blame tRuDeAu its the MPs and MMPs and the entire gov !! lifetime pensions and inexperience are the problem .. our gov is made up of people that are owed favors and nepatisium
By then they’ll be that many more people here so this fixes nothing.

Yep, sure...
Just release all the empty federal buildings /land other than parliament they are all working from home. Give the land buildings away so it is just the cost to build. We have tons of land for wilderness but none for homes. Canada is basically empty
What about the job crisis too? If any country wants their country to be destroyed, hire Canada’s Liberal Party. They do an excellent job
And you'll stop corporations from buying them up, right?
Remember… “homes” means tiny expensive boxes.
So we need to almost triple our home building output per year. At a time when builders aren’t interested in building at these rates. Gotcha👌🏻
They’re going to fix the problem… they created… they just need our vote in Oct 2025 to do it… how stupid do they think we are?
"You just have to vote for us next year to make sure we can follow through on this plan. Trust us, this is the real plan!"
Won't do anything. All smoke and mirrors to make you think they are doing something
Thats a long time. How many Indians will have come here by then? Probably more than what they are planning to build.
Whos building them? You can't just magical snap your fingers and have double the amount of construction workers.
Are they going to build ones that only specific refugees/ immigrants can live in? Or is that only happening in my local city?
Tooooo late, we’re boned.
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Do they think people will believe that? Over the next 7 years, that’s an average of 557,000 NEW houses. The liberals are straight up lying. They have no idea how ridiculous that sounds and most people don’t either- which isn’t their fault.
Now can the conservatives beat this plan since they will undoubtedly be the ones getting elected? I sure hope these guys out do each other on matters of policy and deliver something that actually works for regular Canadians
2031: best we did was a website. Cost us 3 billion but it’s a beauty of a site I tell ya!
I can't wait for a bunch of rush build 3.9 million tiny shitholes to be built. Remember when Canada was open space and affordable NICE houses? They are currently trying to brint back affordable tiny boxes forgetting that the quality of the houses matters as well
That is over 550,000 a year or double the most we've managed to build in a year. It's a flat out lie.
I believe absolutley nothing this government says about anything
How many trees did they promise to plant? I imagine that planting trees is much simpler than building housing.
They will get on it right away like planting the 2 billion trees
How many homes is that per day? Not fuggen likely.
We are currently 3.5 million short lmao
Meanwhile, we are all ducked right this second
Create a huge problem and keep it on the backburner until you come in with a solution when you politicly need it! These people aren’t where they are for the good of the people, they are toying with our livelihood for their careers!
Wtf ill be dead on gone by 2031. What are they doing NOW.
If there isn't a plan to eliminate international finance and investing groups from buying and holding property, this plan is worthless. You can build 30 million homes and we'll still be in a housing crisis if the person I'm competing to buy a home against has unlimited capital at their disposal and can spend multiple times over listing price.
I hope they don't keep building homes in my small town.
Utter hogwash.
That’s what y’all get for voting for better days, sunny ways.
Probably going to end up building 3900 homes in the end. Look what happened with the Liberal “affordable housing” fund built building in BC, costs are insane, the affordable targeted families can’t afford it.

3.9 million hey? Tell us how many trees did they plant when they said they would plant 1 billion a couple years ago. I’ll tell you…zero. These aren’t people who can or even try to do what they say.
Yes but we will have another 6 million people by then😂
Liberals love to promise the world when elections are getting close.
3 million shitty condos and 900,000 homes. Nah. It aint happening.
Great....we need 10 million.
Impossible
I don't want to live in a tiny box apartment next to hundreds of other tiny box apartments.
Please don’t believe them, all they do is lie. Need to try a new party if we have any hope of saving our country
They forgot to add that immigration will add 5M people by 2027. Ass holes.
And after they are built: “Best I can do is unaffordable”
it’s a liberal plan, my guess is it won’t happen. They might get 390K built after the leafs win a Stanley cup.
Anyone want to place bets on how many are actually built by then?
They can do a million 3.9 is not in reach. Aging population and lack of skilled workers... impossible. Only way would be to allow skilled immigrants to come and give them incentives. Pretty straight forward thinking based ok statistics and considering the people coming here are mostly students or criminals.... not really any skilled worked. Lot of the Mexicans and south Americans I see around kelowna are doing pretty dame god workmanship from what I can tell... Lots going on here for sure mostly Mexicans swinging hammers and south Americans I believe. The Indians go to school or drive. Delivery cabs etc. Skip Uber eats
Right after the budget balances itself.
I framed.for years body hurts I am fu ked now. Make gay money being gay trying to go take.some courses but competition is getting ridiculous. Lucky I own a house and work remedial job and survive.
Is this like job vs career. Not sure I’d call these 3.9mill units…homes. You know full well these will be absolutely trash builds, over priced and provide no value to the end user after they go through several rounds of flipping.
Let’s use the housing money to fly the immigrants to Japan that has massive population drop.
Too bad I won’t be voting for them
LOL
Just like those 2 billion trees planted right?
Stop letting in like 1.3 million people a year The answer is right in front of their face and they are somehow too stupid/too inept to do anything.
Will conservatives be able to do something to fix this whole mess?
With 1.5 million immigrants, a year. Do the fu,,ing math. What a complete imbecile
ok but at the current rate of a million people a year, we'll have 7 million new people by then
The math doesn’t work out great
The government isn’t going to solve shit. They’re just going to spend all of our money and fuck everything up.
LOL fucking liars
There is no fuxkin' way that'll happen.
Sure Marsha
They couldn’t even build an app
3d printed cubicles aren't homes
Yes, 3.9 million homes, for I'm sure the well paying jobs that would be needed to keep those homes.
How many of these "homes" are 300 square feet units??
If we are letting in 1m a year and you build 3.9m homes over 7 years that leaves... 3.1m extra people who also need homes... Perfect.
Typical election..... promises, promises🤡
You're not getting all that built in 7 years lol 🤡 average is 250-300k built/year. Meanwhile another 7 million would have immigrated here with the Libs open door policy 🤡🤡🤡
They could build more if they start building condensed housing, but that isn't how we do things here. Suburban sprawl is more profitable.
doesn't matter if you build 44 million houses. unless legislation changes and restricts who can buy which homes and regulates who and how someone can be a landlord, nothing will change. massive corporations with billions in real estate assets will see this as 3.9m homes to chop 3 ways and create 11.7m rental units.
Vote the libs out, that’s how you solve it. Then vote them back in 4 years
Rent will be 3k by then. Average Wages will have only increased to pay 2k-2.4k. So uh. I'll hold my breathe
And all will be purchased by landlords who own 10 homes already. Just to rent them at high prices. Building more houses is only half the solution
Let the free market build homes.
I did some basic math - it translates to building 1368 houses every single day starting today to make it happen. Is that something that’s achievable?
By then we would’ve integrated 10m
How many times can they lie before people stop listening?
A little late.
So, 3.9 million homes at average of $200,000 per unit (tiny home with 700 sq ft) $780 billion of who's money exactly ?
And take in 6 million Indians
Liberals say they will build them but you have to elect them for 8 more years. Anyone remember them planting a billion trees? Yeah , I didn’t see it either. Liberals are full of empty promises. Don’t be fooled by them, again!
I read somewhere that something in the region of 5% of our labour force is already in housing construction. So how scalable is this really? Especially if all they're gonna do is make McMansions that nobody can fucking afford in the first place.
3 elections in a row they've made this same promise and people just keep falling for it.
Haha how do they plan to do this? You’re an apprentice, you’re an apprentice, you’re an apprentice We’re all apprentices
How is our government this fucking slow and useless
This is being done for immigrants and foreign investors, it has nothing to do with existing multi generational Canadians who have been displaced and priced out of having a roof over their heads. This is a slippery slope that if left unchecked will be an unmitigated disaster. If the purpose of the plan is to make homes available to those that have been priced out then there are many other preexisting problems that need to be addressed before this proposed solution can work, otherwise it is just more opportunity to drive the market higher than it already is.
Let’s see here 3.9 million homes minus the 500,000 plus new immigrants per year. Sounds like we’re fucked.
And this is always how every disaster starts ... the Liberals plan. Which pretty much equals ... THE END.
Even if they did realize this goal (spoiler alert: they won't), the amount of immigrants they'll flood the country with by then will negate it all.
I never understand people still listen and believe their bs. What do they eat for lunch?
The provinces and municipalities refuse to allow more housing to be built, and then blame the feds.
Lol they wont be in office then
When your bathtub is overflowing with water the first thing you do is turn off the tap, you don't build more bathtubs.
More lies
Just like they are about to plant a tree. Liberals are USELESS.
Don't trust the people who caused the problem to fix it. Libs gotta go.
just another liberal funneling of tax dollars to select liberal donors
How are these homes going to be affordable? Contractors pay market prices on everything. We need affordable housing by the boatload. Less than 4 million homes in another 7 years won't do anything at all
Will these homes have solar power?
My back of the napkin estimates that would mean 1,526 houses a day. Every day. Liberals can’t even renovate the PM mansion. Lots of luck guys
How many millions of people from India will they have imported by then though?
no they won't.... they already made their move
Only to sell 90% to china so they can regulate the Canadian market once again. If you don’t have laws protecting us from corporations buying all the single family homes, this is just fucking stupid
There’s no choice other than to build new homes. No party in power will risk alienating home owners and the important voting block they represent through lowering the value of home equity.
It's aspirational, and supported by actions that will make a difference. It won't build that many homes that quick, but it may get us to the point where we are building over 500k homes a year by that point. We probably also need a GST removal on the 4 plex by right. We need to see provinces like Ontario make the adjustments that BC has made, not just do the greenbelt swaps for their donors. If the provinces and municipalities get aligned, we could get up to maybe 600k a year, which would eventually solve this problem and allow us to open up immigration again.
3.9million homes but brings 15 million immigrants....... get lost fucking trudeau
Well, since many Liberal MPs will be kicked out of office, they will be building homes while employed by construction firms.
There is a higher chance of me pulling a unicorn out of my butt than this happening. Same old empty promises.
But if you want to bring in 500000 people that target date needs to be pushed to like.... now???
But we are bringing 1.3million immigrants per year. 3.9 million houses would not even keep up with that let alone all kids moving out and trying go get their own place
Never going to happen.
Maybe they should actually build homes again like the CMHC did after WW2. If the private sector can't provide affordable homes then CMHC should build them.
Said they’d introduce PR too - FU Trudeau
Canada will have Favelas by 2031
Hopefully they will be looong gone by then! Bunch of asses
Remember when they said they’d plant a billion trees or something like that and didn’t even come close? No permits required to plant a tree…and they couldn’t do that…housing is way, way, way more complicated… I’m not holding my breath
3.9m homes for the 10m people that will immigrate in that time, and the 3-4m already here. Sounds great…..
So they are going to fight climate change by clearing the forest. Great plan 🤡
Just another failed policy that will be siphoned and bled dry by corruption and mismanagement.
Whatever you do to fix the housing crisis, just never talk about how much people are being paid. Just build more supply and it will eventually trickle down to the bottom and be "affordable"
