Everyone deserves an affordable place to call home - let’s tackle the housing crisis built by Liberals and Conservatives so that it supports Canadians, not corporate landlords.

The Liberals are letting rich investors treat the housing market like a casino – enough is enough

Everyone deserves the right to a safe and affordable place to call home. But for too many families, a home you can afford is increasingly out of reach, thanks to skyrocketing rents, renovictions and ballooning home prices.

People are lying awake at night, worrying about how they can afford the monthly payment, as costs keep going up, but paycheques don’t. And the pandemic has only made things worse, with too many families struggling to make rent or mortgage payments during the crisis.

The Liberals have allowed rich investors to use the housing market like a casino, and on top of that, the seven largest apartment-owning corporations in Canada have saved a combined $1.5 billion through federal tax loopholes.

Under Justin Trudeau’s system, rich investors make up more than 20% of the housing market. After sitting on their hands for 7 years, it’s time the Liberals get serious about taxing corporate landlords who are making huge profits.

Canadians shouldn't have to compete with deep-pocketed investors just to get a home.

Join Jagmeet and the NDP by calling on the Liberals to prohibit the acquisition of affordable homes by REITs and other corporate landlords who are driving up costs through renovictions to make big profits, amend how predatory housing investment funds are taxed and block the monopolization of affordable rental units, so every Canadian can have access to a place to call home.
