Rustad announced they will start with a $1500/month tax rebate for rent and mortgage, increasing each year by $500/mnth to eventually max out to $3000 per month month tax rebate on rent and mortgage.

What kind of a tax refund is NDP promising on rent and mortgage so people with jobs keep more of their own money?

You think you get to keep that money? Lol

A) Landlords will raise rents because they can, house prices will rise because banks will factor the newly available money into the amount you can afford to buy with.

B) The taxes the government gives up need to be collected elsewhere, or services will need to be slashed dramatically.

    Your link is wrong, it points to a piece on safe injection sites.

    But about your text: they're so desperate to prop up real estate values that they'll run the budget into the ground with "government handouts" lol

    How is refunding people's money to return their own cash classed as socialism?

    I guess it's only classed as socialism when Liberals do it?
