The Great Ottawa Housing Rebate Ruse (opens the original)
Read excerpt
I did some digging into one of the Liberals’ signature affordability measures. What I found shocked even me. It was supposed to be a centerpiece of Mark Carney’s pitch to make housing affordable again. Buy your first newly built home, and Ottawa would wipe out the GST on anything up to $1 million, a saving of as much as $50,000. For a young family trying to break into a market that remains far too expensive, that is real money.The idea was good. Bureaucratic in its design, but good. The executio

Putting this up on a Tuesday after spending yesterday at synagogue and with family for Yom Kippur. Apparently, even politicians are allowed to atone. AND, it’s a Tuesday in Ottawa as the House of Commons returns this week for the first time since June.Lots of work to do this session to stand up for struggling Canadians, fight for affordability, and hold the government to account.

Today’s the first day of school for thousands of students in the GTA, and all across Canada. I’m sure lots of kids are excited to be back in class, and I bet many of their parents are, too! Parliament itself can often seem a lot like a rowdy schoolyard, but we’re not back in session yet despite the fall season (and the brewing trade war). We still have two more weeks until sittings begin, and in that time, Mark Carney will address the European Union before he addresses our own MPs. Students are

Read excerpt
As the fallout from last week's collapsed trade deal continues to hit our economy, one thing is clear: Mark Carney and this Liberal government failed to get the job done. Instead of securing a deal that protected Canadian workers, they walked away at the eleventh hour, leaving hundreds of thousands of jobs hanging in the balance. And still no one really knows what actually happened. Canada must defend our workers, but accountability demands transparency: Carney must release the deal he rejected
