The FED - Ontario #Housing announcement yesterday is not a silver bullet that will solve Ontario's dismal performance in housing starts, despite throwing $8.8B at the problem. Developers and builders will likely get the biggest benefit from the funding.

From the article: "Carney said he expects competitive forces in the market will push developers to pass on cost savings from the development charge relief to homebuyers."

Seriously?

Success for Conservatives is finding at least one study that backs their ideology.

“The Ontario government has cited a Canadian Centre of Recovery Excellence study that found no increase in mortality after the closure of one overdose prevention site in Red Deer, Alta.

But that study’s authors have acknowledged it was inconclusive because it covered only a six-month period. And a single study of a single site closure does not constitute an evidence base for dismantling an entire network of services across a province where opioid deaths remain catastrophically high.”

Not that anyone with sense ever expected Carney to object, now we have confirmation.

I dare them to define success for this exercise, including specific benefits to be reached by a specific date for less than a specific increase in net infrastructure debt getting transferred to the property tax base.
