Show Notes

Trying to make homes more affordable with a tax hike is like trying to boil water with your freezer. But the Trudeau government keeps flirting with home equity taxes.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently attended “a private town hall about generational fairness,” hosted by a group advocating for home taxes. The feds also spent $450,000 funding and promoting a report that recommends a home equity tax.

All that and more in this week’s Canadian Taxpayers Podcast.
