Just read up on the details on Carney's promise to build 500,000 new home annually? Appears he's earmarked $35 billion to finance loans to builders and will give them publicly owned lands to boot. Just wondering who he expects can afford to buy these homes, even with not having to pay the GST. Don't know about the East but out here, the people that can afford homes already have them and the people who can't afford them don't. So a glut of new homes available benefits who? For argument sake, lets say at $500,000 per home (and that's likely not even close), that's $250 billion minimum worth of new homes available yearly. We have lots of houses for sale here already and few, if not any are affordable for lower income earners. This doesn't help the needy other than possibly getting them into a debt that they are not able to repay.
