@ronmortgageguy This is exactly everything wrong with government these days. Spend a s*** ton of money; nothing gets done and if it does it's way over budget.
Let’s talk about our plan to convert empty units in B.C. into affordable homes.
In B.C. there are thousands of homes that are empty while thousands of British Columbians are looking for affordable homes. Build Canada Homes is going to work with the B.C. government to fix that – by turning empty units, into affordable homes.
As we build up supply, this is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to get people into homes. Through this partnership, we will acquire units in bulk, at a discount to market value, at a time when prices and sales are already both low.
We could leave these units sitting empty or we could take action that will provide much needed affordable housing to 2,200 families and individuals. More details on the conversion of units to affordable housing will be available in the coming months.
This is one of the many tools we are using to increase access to affordable housing and only one element of our landmark agreement with British Columbia to invest in local infrastructure and build affordable homes. Reports that this will cost $3.2 billion are getting the facts wrong – that is what we are investing in B.C. to build more infrastructure like water systems, wastewater systems and local roads, while bringing down development charges to make homebuilding more affordable.
We know we need more affordable homes across Canada – and that is why we launched Build Canada Homes. Since launching we have announced over 11,000 homes across 14 partnerships. Already, 4,500 units have started construction or are set to break ground in the next three months. In B.C. that partnership is delivering on 1,100 new homes, including 700 which will be supportive and transitional. Paired with our plan to reduce development charges so that we can lower down the cost of building, we are creating the conditions for more homes to be build across the country.
To end this housing crisis, we need to use every available tool: build new supply, protect rentals, support infrastructure, and bring empty homes into use faster.
The Carney Condo Bailout Fucktastrophe! I Won't Leave This One Alone: It's Just Too WRONG
To quote the Prime Minister: "Builders dont want to sell at a loss"
Doesn't mean the Canadian Taxpayer needs to make sure Developers get full price for their Garbage Units at crazy prices

The reality that too many still refuse to see.
If after watching this you can still defend what’s happening in Gaza… then the word “humanity” has officially lost all meaning.
Watch it to the end. Let every frame hit you.
Then come back and tell me who crossed the line?
Israel's Ministry of Foreign Affairs just paid a California marketing firm $3.2 million to put invisible fences around 523 American churches to track its members.
Geofencing, the same tech retailers use to ping your phone when you walk past a store, is being used by Show Faith by Works, according to paperwork filed with the Justice Department in September. They track congregants' phones during Sunday service, then serve them ads after. Pro-Israel messaging on one side, "Palestinian and Iranian goals are not land-focused, but genocidal" on the other. That is their words, not mine. It's in the filing.
That's the quiet version.
The loud version happened in December. 1,070 American pastors were flown to Israel, all expenses paid, by the same Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They toured the Nova festival site. Met Netanyahu. Met Israeli intelligence officials. Got certified as "Friends of Zion Ambassadors" on the last day.
Netanyahu told them to "stand up and be counted." Mike Evans, who ran the trip, said his goal is one million pastors. Huckabee called declining evangelical support a "growing cancer."
One operation targets you through your own phone. The other puts a certificate on your pastor's wall. Same funder. Same goal. Both are designed so you don't notice you're being managed and manipulated from a pulpit you trust.
This campaign started with 523 churches, but that’s not where it ends. If your church isn’t on the list yet, that's not the same as being left alone.

Are you OK with a foreign government doing this from inside your own church?
@ericweinstein What are the correct points? What are the correct arguments that could get the world to say, yeah, murdering civilians, women, children, journalists, etc is justified? Maybe if they admitted genocide but re-framed it as "justified genocide"?
@Prominent_Bryan The messenger and tone of message matter more than the issue details. Instead of Mom who wants a better future for her kids, we get Dragon Lady - Margaret Thatcher 2.0.
