Contrasting Plans

speaking at a housing announcement in Scarborough, Ontario, Mr. poilievre stated that his policy offerings would contrast sharply with Liberal Leader Mark Carney’s plan. We cannot afford a fourth liberal term of rising taxes and inflation and crime. We need a change with a new Conservative government that has a truly costed platform that will cut waste, axe taxes, unleash home building, lock up criminals and bring home the country that we love, Mr. Poilievre said.

Liberal Platform

Mr. Carney released his party’s full agenda on Saturday, detailing nearly $130 billion in new spending over four years, along with $28 billion in unspecified cuts. The Liberal platform projects a deficit of $62.3 billion this fiscal year, followed by $59.9 billion the next year.

Conservative Response to liberal Claims

The Liberals have claimed that Mr. Poilievre’s promises amount to $140 billion in spending, suggesting he would need to make equivalent cuts. However, Mr. Poilievre disputed this figure, stating, Whenever Liberals present you with numbers, you should be afraid, and very afraid, because their numbers are always wrong.

Housing Initiatives

Mr. Poilievre outlined several initiatives aimed at boosting housing construction:

• GST Removal: Removing the GST on new homes under $1.3 million, projected to add 36,000 houses per year.
• Municipal Incentives: Encouraging municipalities to lower development charges,expected to add 25,000 more homes.
• Combined Impact: These initiatives,combined with the existing 245,000 homes built in 2024,would result in 306,000 new houses in the first year of a Conservative government.

Mr. Poilievre’s housing plan also involves selling off federal land to the private sector for housing development. An analysis found enough government-owned land to house 750,000 people.

Mr. Poilievre criticized the Liberal government’s approach to using federal land for affordable housing, stating, They don’t want anybody to own a home. They think everybody should live in a government dwelling. We will be selling the land so that Canadians can buy homes that belong to them and that they give them the pride of home ownership and the home equity.
