Today’s Fall Economic Statement shows action from the federal government to support more non-market and affordable housing.
We're pleased to see new investments including $1 billion in the Affordable Housing Fund for co-op, non-profit and social housing: https://t.co/IIVKY0Ps66
Unless this is an inadvertent mistake that gets quickly corrected, it has to be one of the dumbest decisions ever made by @JustinTrudeau. Throughout the 70s and 80s housing co-ops produced some of the best affordable housing projects. Renters with pride of ownership. #FixIt
Canada Finance Dept. details released:
New housing co-ops excluded from GST rebate. !?
Why @cafreeland, @SeanFraserMP?
"The enhanced GST Rental Rebate will not apply to ... housing co-ops, and owned houses situated on leased land..."

I too will finish the season with my curling team and then part ways. I still have a passion to curl and am considering all options for the next olympic cycle. @PlattsvilleCurl#curlingfreeagent
Ontario’s 'affordable housing' task force report has some good (and overdue) ideas, but also a lot of flaws. It paints an incomplete picture of what is needed to address housing affordability. My thoughts in @ConversationCA
