Eby proposes 2-per-cent tax on unsold condos to encourage developers to sell (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new NDP government would slap a 2-per-cent tax on empty, unsold condos in British Columbia in a bid to force developers to cut prices and sell the units, party leader David Eby said on Friday.

At a Burnaby news conference during the first week of his re-election campaign, Mr. Eby said his governm

Read excerpt
Toronto home sales fell in August, ending a five-month rebound in activity, as the U.S.-Canada trade war intensified and gave some potential homebuyers reason to pause.
