That’s the joke, as it was Yoho’s own advice to heed.

Good effort, though!

I briefly saw a press scrum this morning with MP Gerretsen and if I find a link I will post it but he went on about how the Liberals are excited for the next parliamentary session and will be focused on attacking PP and showing Canadians what PP and the CPC is all about. I have to question these comments and strategy because I would hope that they would be focused on actually doing the work necessary in the House for the betterment of Canada in terms of policy decisions instead of attacking the opposition. Leave the attacking and fighting for the next campaign.

Modern politics are one giant campaign unfortunately.

Every single post from Yoho's 2nd account or Yoho Jr is in the political threads. Not a single post about the Flames or NHL......

2015 Real Change - New Plan for a strong middle class vote for us

https://liberal.ca/wp-content/upload...ddle-class.pdf

Quote:
We will encourage the construction of new rental housing by removing all GST
on new capital investments in affordable rental housing. This will provide $125
million per year in tax incentives to grow and renovate the supply of rental
housing across Canada.
2017 We are in power LOLs

https://www.theglobeandmail.com/news...ticle36973281/

Quote:
Mr. Morneau's press secretary, Chloé Luciani-Girouard, said the housing strategy will detail how the government intends to promote affordable housing.

"The Government concluded, based on research and evidence, that there were more effective ways of encouraging the construction of affordable rental housing," she said in an e-mail.

It’s crazy because nothing changed at all over the last 8 years and yet the Liberals have changed their mind on something? Like… how is that possible??? WTF?

Grab the knee pads, there's LPC members to defend!

Is there a term limit on these new rental builds...

Whats to stop a developer from building rentals and saving the GST amount...

Then flipping it in 5 years to condos and running away with the profits ?

I understand the grift, but It would have the same benefit no? After 5 years, the price of the condos is presumably lower than new builds, and creates affordable housing.

From what I understand now is that old builds are basically full, and new builds are cost prohibitive.

Probably nothing. But new housing for personal sale already qualifies for a GST rebate if it costs less than 450k, which most apartments built for rent here would.

That is still a win. The housing got built so the program accomplished its goal.

Making some sort of policy where it always needs to be a rental also seems very short sighted.
