  • Not sure about the 30 year amortization but adding more RRSP contribution potential sounds like you are making home buying easier for the people who already have extra money.

    Like was that extra 25k stopping anyone from putting a down payment on a home? If someone is able to save at least 35k let alone 60k in an rrsp, I don’t think the housing market is out of reach. It’s out of reach for the people who are being priced out of renting, eating well, and just living in general.







  • Another hit to the benefits of driving electric. It was making so much sense to own an EV for me 3 years ago. Gas was expensive, our electricity was super cheap, and little maintenance.

    Now, every year since we ordered, something new has come up to make it less appealing. No more tax credits, electric had it’s price cap removed, now this road tax is going to be another cost. It’s getting to a point where it’s cheaper to just buy a gas car again and suck it up.

    Really appreciate the breakdown of the article in the comments OP. Cool to see some new math I’ve never heard of!







  • It’s hard to say what an “overwhelming majority” platform would look like. With the recent elections it was minority government. You have to cherry pick the most popular policies from each party and hope they don’t overlap with the least popular from the same. For one person great social programs are a priority and then another a strong private sector.

    Super interested to see what more politically inclined folks have to say!
