With a joint review of Canada’s free trade agreement with the US and Mexico coming up in 2026

Just to make things easier for people.

The video talks about the glut of micro units having issues selling due to how undesirable they are for people actually living in them and not aligning with a more realistic price.

The numbers on why a lot of people can't hold onto these investments:

Shrinking units, the ones discussed in the video is around ~300sqft:

Substantially less of newer units are owner occupied:

Given his political leanings, it probably shouldn't be surprising that Poilievre has chosen to oppose the Liberal tax changes. Back in 2004, the Conservative leader seems to have been in favour of eliminating capital gains taxes entirely (the Conservative party platform that year called for a "reduction").

It's a hell of a thing to imagine housing flippers won't have to pay any taxes on their profits.

Renters make up 33.4% of households in Canada — the highest percentage it’s ever been. As expected, the largest share is represented by young Millennials still working out their balance up the property ladder by their mid-30s. The kicker is that senior renters over 65 are right at their heels.

May told a news conference the full version of the classified report does not contain a "list of MPs who have shown disloyalty to Canada."

May said one former MP accused in the report of proactively sharing privileged information with a foreign operative should be fully investigated by authorities. She said that former MP is not named in the full report.

Turns out Pierre Poilievre comments about being muzzled if he saw the reports might have been him talking about his hobbies. Hopefully he doesn't show in parliament one day in a full gimp suit.

In case anyone still wants to somehow debate whether the Liberals will deliver affordable housing.

“Housing needs to retain its value,” Mr. Trudeau told The Globe and Mail’s City Space podcast. “It’s a huge part of people’s potential for retirement and future nest egg.”

“I want to reassure Canadians that the Canada Revenue Agency does not intend to collect any portion of any non-resident landlords’ unpaid taxes from individual tenants,” read a statement released by Minister Marie-Claude Bibeau on X, formerly known as Twitter, Friday afternoon.

“It is incorrect to state otherwise.”

Bibeau said in her statement that she would work with Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland “to provide absolute clarity on the law and to ensure that tenants have the certainty they need and deserve.”

The agency's six-month average measure of trends also dropped, with the seasonally adjusted moving average over that period of time dropping by 2.2 per cent in the most recent report.
