I am in Ottawa and prices have gone down and availability is up, as is construction. "The Ottawa real estate market in late 2025 ischaracterized by a slight year-over-year price increase (average home price around $690,397), rising inventory levels that favor buyers, and a mix of market conditions for different property types. While the overall market is seeing more choice for buyers, the condo market is softer with lower prices, while the townhome market remains competitive. Detached homes are in a more balanced state, offering more opportunity for negotiation. " Are you implying immigrants are buying all the houses?? If not for foreign workers, who would do those min wage jobs? (which is $17.80 per hour in Ontario) As I said, and stand by it, there is nowhere where it is said everyone shall have or is entitled to a house.

I am sorry but that was not evident in your supply and demand statement. If housing is your supply and demand issue, well, there is a lot of supply and there is demand as those houses are selling. Just because there are high rices in the 3 largest cities in Canada does not mean the prices are out of reach elsewhere. https://www.cmhc-schl.gc.ca/professionals/housing-markets-data-and-research/market-reports/housing-market/housing-supply-report What is really important, is that there is no "right" to own a home. "The average age for a first-time homebuyer with recent data placing it between the late 30s and early 40s," Nothing in the charter or any legislation or anywhere does it infer every Canadian is to buy and own a home. "2025 Survey: A more recent survey indicates that 43% of Canadians are currently renting their home. Growth Trend: The number of renter households grew by 22% between 2011 and 2021, a faster rate than owner households, which grew by 8.4% in the same period. "

Can't help if your brit friends are fools like you LOL "Financial stability and innovation: He managed the Bank of England during a period of economic uncertainty and introduced policies like forward guidance to provide clarity to markets. Crisis management: His supporters credit him with helping the UK economy navigate the post-recession period and the uncertainties surrounding Brexit. Credibility: He was chosen for the role because of his credibility and ability to remain calm under pressure, coming from a successful tenure as Governor of the Bank of Canada. Support from some quarters: Some commentators from the UK, such as those at The Guardian, found him competent and not a government mouthpiece. His public warnings about the economic consequences of Brexit led some, including former Prime Minister Liz Truss, to accuse him of being too political and to blame him for economic problems.....and he was right

In England warning the Brits they will be sorry to pull a Brexit.... and he was right

I am dealing with smart intelligent people but you two are certainly NOT in that group. You two are classic LOSERS that cannot take the fact you LOST and will continue to be in second place...LOSERS You keep coming back and you know what? Nothing changes...you guys are still and will always be LOSERS...in second place LOL No matter how many times you post back to me...you will always still be LOSERS LOL So yeah you are "a phkn LOSER indeed, LOSER. " HA HA HA. I just love it when you spin out...LOSER HA HA HA

Awww taximan is blathering again,. LOL How does it feel to be in the back benches??? To be in second place while the liberals are leading the country for another 4 years? I do not "enjoy attacking and mocking conservatives" ..only verified LOSERS like you LOL Sucks to be you ....LOSER LOL

Then COVID happened.... LOSER LOL

And Harper was PM.

I think it is you that does not understand supply and demand LOL Countries, including Canada have contracts and deals and they cannot just be cancelled. These contracts and deals need to be honoured and satisfied before changes and new contracts can be made. That is the supply and the demand. What "huge pile of backlogged projects"??? PP Le Pew would not have been able to cancel contracts other countries have made, nor institute new contracts with Canada until existing deals were completed and satisfied.It takes tine for old deals to expire and new ones to come into effect.

And the Airbus scandal and the Schreiber kickback affair.

Oh? Since 2009 when Harper was the PM? LOL

Just saying programs and legislation outlive the leaders of government.

You do realize that we are having to deal with the aftermath of almost every prime minister? The legislation and laws made by them are still in effect to day. Some OK , others not so OK. That is what it is all about.

That has go to say a lot about the Conservative party as a whole though.... Trudeau?? Who is that?? He is long gone. You drinking PP's kool aid LOL

Who the H are you talking about??? LOL

Canada’s Pierre Poilievre Should Step Aside https://time.com/7310749/canada-poilievre-conservatives-byelection/ The Angus Reid Institute’s Poilievre monitor finds the Conservative leader’s unfavorability numbers persistently high. Going back to the fall of 2022, over 50% of those surveyed disliked Poilievre. That number never got better than 49%, and now sits at 57%. His numbers are particularly dismal among women and younger voters, but even among the 55+ age bracket that traditionally votes Conservative, Poilievre manages just 39% approval.

I fully agree the deficit is huge but, something has to be done. We are in a crisis thanks to Donald Trump. Things need to be done to get our economy moving or at least to steady it and I think the budget ties to accomplish this. The problem is that to get "deals" with other countries on our product/resources/agriculture, we need to first honour our existing "deals" and contracts. The bigger problem is other countries also have deals and contracts they must honour. None of this will happen overnight and some may take years to come into effect. "Other leading experts" are unaware of the dealings and what is actually happening because Carney does not disclose what goes on during negotiations behind closed doors. These "leading experts" should be very aware of how things are done. I am not sure who these "leading experts" are but if they were in fact leading experts, they should know how things are done. Carney is not Trump making deal announcements without basis or fact every day. We all know Trumps"deals" are mostly hot air, proposals at best. The countries he say he has deals with also have to honour existing contracts . We also know those "deals" he speaks about are not spoken about in the countries where they supposedly occurred. Carney does not do that...he only makes announcement jointly and with facts to support them. I know we have financial problems but I will wait and see what the deals are and when they come to fruition. I am quite sure that Canada will come out quite well but...it is not an overnight thing. I also am tired of PP whining about this. If he only had a security clearance, he would not be so boisterous and critical. Other political leaders are not whining because they have clearance are and briefed about situations. I am logic and not emotional or reactionary. I understand contracts. I am not going to argue this. This is my opinion .

Desperate? For peoples attention??? I respond only to you and a few others that try to diss me. Hardly "peoples attention". Only trolling you guys LOL. Real people pay no attention and move on, which is something you have been unable to do LOL Again, how sad is it that you keep getting bested by, what you wanna call, a "juvenile" or "kid". What a LOSER HA H A. HA Got what??? You area LOSER so you got nuthin LOL Now just to get back on topic...there is no potential anymore for the federal government to fall in a matter of weeks. LOL PP Le Pew pizzed in his puffed wheat and screwed himself and the conservative party.

Yup...and you are a LOSER LOL Back again...taking the bait LOLSER

Trudeau?? History will tell you that the US wanted us to shore up our borders way back in 1958 when Diefenbaker made the deal for Bomarcs. All PM's have "promised" to raise funding and not until now will we do it.. We have never made the "promised" 2% until now. The military has been sucking the hind teat for 50+ years and are finally getting what they have been due.

Sure you are...you bit on it and gulped it down cause you are back again LOL I didn't and don't need anything to suck you guys in LOL You have a hook??? Ain't that funny LOL Only LOSERS keep coming back again and again and you have proven how big LOSERS you are HA HA HA C'mon back LOSER

The Americans were never threatening to us...they gave us the CIM-10B Bomarcs back in late 50's to help against the Russians. Diefenbaker was PM and he cancelled the Arrow when we got the Bomarcs. I was in the Military for a long time. Every PM promised stuff in the Arctic. We even built runways and shelters for the F18 but abandoned them. All we ever did was establish the Canadian Rangers and gave them old 303's and a few bullets

HA, My life is great. I have 1diots to play with. You and confux are the easiest fish in the stream. I have told you for a very long time I am trolling you..and you are just now getting it??? See how stunned and slow to the up take you are LOL So, my life is just great when I have fools to suck in. You put so much effort trying to goad me and here you are, tome and tome again and FAILING... only a true LOSER keeps smashing their head into the wall and getting nowhere.... you are the perfect example of the guy pushing on a pull door LOL. A real LOSER C'mon back...take another bite of the bait SUCKA LOL

Every PM and wannabe PM since the 60's have promised to do something in the Arctic and they have all failed. Even Diefenbaker ( the last food conservative PM) was a major proponent of a strong Canadian presence and development in the Arctic, a vision he called the "The Northern Vision and no PM has done anything worthwhile.
