@hexagraeme I’d go with something from Suit Supply and have it adjusted asap. But still go to Indochino. Good selection and they keep your measurements on file to order online at your convenience in future.

Speaker @MPPArnottWHH is one of the most upstanding members I’ve ever come across. The job is hard work, and speakers never get the credit they deserve. #onpoli #speaker

Investors and speculators have left the market, surely things will be affordable now right

Agree with this take. Small-scale investors in election battleground regions like Peel and Vancouver will not forget this. #cdnpoli #ONpoli

[Saad Baig @saadbaig3]

I know this is an unpopular take but increasing the capital gains inclusion rate from 50% to 66% will hurt investment in housing at a time when we need it the most.

Individual ‘mom & pop’ investors fuel pre-sales that help finance new condo projects. Additionally, with 3-4 units being legalized on all lots, we need individual ‘mom & pop’ investors to get those projects going!

Significant changes just announced by Minister @PaulCalandra as part of the new “Cutting Red Tape to Build More Homes Act”.

🚨#ParkingMinimums will be eliminated in PMTSAs & MTSAs. This means:

✅ More housing
✅ Lower property taxes
✅ Better environmental outcomes
✅ Increased transit use

📢 Final numbers are in for Ontario’s 2023 housing starts.

✅ Very excited to see that nearly 10% of all starts were “additional residential units”.

This means that policy changes such as Bill 23 measure to allow 3 units and Minister @SeanFraserMP’s push to legalize 4 units are already yielding results!

And, we are just getting started! 🏗️ 🏠x4

🚨 Enough is enough. Misinformation groups in #Mississauga are pressuring the city to break its own standards and procedures in order to delay badly needed #housing development. Today, they went too far.

[Asquith Allen @AsquithAllen]

It’s high time we had a conversation about property taxes. Why should renters pay more than homeowners? 🤔 #ONpoli #TOpoli #Housing #rent

Quite shameful that Mississauga councillors don’t have the courage to make room for more neighbours IN PRINCIPLE. #onpoli

[Dipika Damerla @DipikaDamerla]

@SeanFraserMP Mississauga council actually voted unanimously to ask staff to bring a report back on 4 plexes and holding public consultations.

[Asquith Allen @AsquithAllen]

It’s not just egregious, it’s down right disgusting. Wanting changes to your lease is not grounds for a $7K MONTHLY increase in rent. Purpose-built apartments should always be the preferred choice to rent. #onpoli #rent

@robcerjanec IPA?? @RedStripe please reason with him…

For the future of folks my age, it wouldn’t be the worst outcome re housing! #onpoli #TOpoli

Olivia Chow talking about #MissingMiddle on @CP24 today:

“I want to unleash the power of the homeowner. Say to them go build it because we need housing in this city”

“Build up to 4 storeys. If you want to have 4 units, you can rent out 3 of them.”

When it comes to purpose-built rental housing, I say: "Let 'er rip!"
