The Charter Does Not Protect Property Rights

Look it up.

That rag is nothing at all like the Magna Carta.

Let's keep that in mind:

The government should provide a home to every person who cannot work, says Housing Minister Sean Fraser. Unemployed currently number 1,229,400 according to the latest Labour Force Survey from Statistics Canada: “If you cannot work you should have a home too. Government should work together to provide it to you.”

 

And who is going to pay for it, Sean? You?

“Canada’s record housing supply imbalance, caused by an unprecedented increase in the working-age population (874,000 people over the past twelve months), means that there is currently only one housing start for every 4.2 people entering the working-age population ... Under these circumstances, people have no choice but to bid up the price of a dwindling inventory of rental units. The current divergence between rental inflation (8.2 per cent) and CPI inflation (3.1 per cent) is the highest in over 60 years … There is no precedent for the peak in rental inflation to exceed the peak in headline inflation. Unless Ottawa revises its immigration quotas downward, we don’t expect much relief for the 37 per cent of Canadian households that rent.”


The goal is that no one will rent or own a house.

But one repeats one's self.
