Mike's Daily Comment
Talk of affordable housing is cheap – but paying all the government related costs for new condos and houses is certainly not. New green levies, property purchase tax, development fees and the new mortgage rules are all forcing people looking to enter the market significantly higher.

……and that suits the present political elite just fine. It’s allowed them to slip through the new CHMC mortage rules that will effect affordability dramatically. Then there’s the “enhanced” Canada Pension Plan. Very very few understand the financial obligations our Millennials are set to shoulder. Infrastructure spending…again, its the millennials who’ll pay for that. For the political realm its really just fine there’s no rioting in the streets…..yet.
