Leader Jagmeet Singh didn't provide details on how he would achieve that goal, saying only that he will have more announcements about it.
He says the economy is doing well, but not for everyone, and criticized the Liberals for not spending enough on affordable housing.Singh wouldn't say if he planned to balance the federal budget when was asked if he had a timeline for doing so. The NDP leader would take budgeting very seriously, adding that the party would increase revenues by closing tax loopholes and increasing taxes on the very wealthy.
How do u get one in BC
Pretty big aspirations and virtually unattainable, what you smokin' dude ?
Hey hey let’s build a city ?
The projects have been approved across the province, including multiple projects in Metro Vancouver, the Capital Regional District and additional ones in Vernon, Kelowna, Nelson and many other communities. Being done out here under a NDP govt.
And why did no one asked the question who was going to pay for it.... Terrible journalism from the CTV News Network
Wow 500000 homes on a $5 billion budget. theJagmeetSingh might want to revisit his math. More like $100 billion.
Where? And how is it going to pay for it?
With what money? I’m all for it, but pls explain
Well they can promise everything as they aren’t getting elected.
500,000 houses are a tiny drop in a large bucket of water for how many are needed country wide.
Construction need oil and gas.
And just how are you going to pay for these half a million affordable housing units? Oh yeah, just like every other NDP leader... you’ll tax the living hell out of us!! I think your turban is a little too tight!
They should be called the bankruptcy party
'iF YoU vOtE tHiS GRoUP tHEy wiLL iNCrEasE oUR taXEs!!'
No thanks
Still not getting my vote 🗳. He seems to be making promises that are everything people want to hear.
All that would accomplish is housing for more immigrants and Canada’s full!!
And theyll all be built in Toronto
His chances of being PM are 0 to none!!!
no thanks
HUGE IF !!!!!
Blah blah blah. It's just going to go to bums and career welfare moms. Can he guarantee most of the units will go toward people who are actually working and contributing to society? The middle class individuals and families are struggling to pay rent and have savings.
Wonderful! Please just don't repeat the mistakes of the past by building it all in one area of high density.
Agree with need for affordable housing. Ensure builders either build affordable housing in conjunction with their projects or a pay a per unit fee not to have to which is then used by local govt to build homes for low income earners. Either way homes get built.
Yehey but I have doubts
LOL
Lol 😂 in your dreams.
With what money
Bull💩 !
And give them to 20 million illegal refugees.
Building Is bad for the environment
We build too much. It's time to fix the rental housing market and short term rentals!, I honestly, think I am so fed up with too much construction. It's just someone fished out the laws that were protectone renters!
Affordable housing units:
People want homes, not “affordable housing units”
He thinks he could reign for 10 years? Ridiculous.
How do they plan to pay for all these promises without putting us further in debt! Not the way to go.
Lol yeah ok. Right. Where will that money come from False promises
What's that smell? Oh wait, it's Bullshit!
Where is the cash coming from, free free free stuff. NDP IS LOST.
The best way would be to subsidize or help people pay their rent it would also boost rental housing.
Where’s that twitter poop 💩 button I’ve been asking for?
Just stupid Jagmeet ndp stuff. How can this party call itself “new”.
Federal housing. What could possible go wrong with that?
Pfft, lol, ask jacindaardern how that went for her. Still, any excuse to import lots of people to 'grow' the economy. Muppets.
Where ya gonna get $3Billion?
The housing market needs readjustment. Otherwise it’ll be social housing for all.
And set such ridiculous standards to occupy it,the people who actually need this,wouldn't get approved. Are you going take the rich people's money to pay for your socialism?
I'm worth him
Sorry buddy but I’d rather see my hard-earned tax contributions spent on building more classrooms and hospitals.
Who pays for this?
Tax the hell out of us for more subsidized welfare housing. Certainly not supporting that!
I would hate to be some one on the bottom of the list and need to wait ten years.
...in Brampton. For new immigrants. Over 65, who will contribute nothing to society.
What for all the new refugees and immigrants. It sure wasn’t going to people that were on waiting lists for years and years and years.
BLAH! BLAH! BLAH!
Sure you will Stalin lol
Too little too late.
Singh could promise 35million housing units & it still means nothing bc he doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of being elected PM.
Universal pharmacare, free dental, free tuition, and all these homes. Where the hell is the $$ coming from?
Does anyone in the political arena care about seniors?
It's funny how they always promised all this crap before election time but then after election it's like what I didn't say anything lol give me a break
Haha. Where is the money coming from? The already overtaxed citizens?
Yes but you will not be elected so stop promising the Moon.
UncleRee1 It took me 10 seconds to figure out that photo!
No wonder the NDP is broke. Our country would be broke too in about 10mins of this idiot being elected.
Looser will make 1000s of promises.... Who cares
And they're made available to... any conditions?
And who is paying for this?
With what money? Trudeau's unicorn pee?
Bollywood!
Where is the money coming from bud? The province has no money. You will either A raise taxes or make new ones. B sell provincial land. Etc.
That’s one way to employ all the illegals and their offspring!
I'm fed up listening to our politicians make promises they got no intentions of honouring. If you make a promise show me how you are going to accomplish it or You are wasting my time.
Canadian taxpayers money. If Jagmeet wins, your taxes will increase dramatically just like if the Liberals win. There is only one choice for Canadians, Scheer4PM Let's get Canada back on track to prosperity. elxn43 🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊🌊
our Canadian spy agency warned last night that China and India plus 4 other countries are now active in trying to influence the federal election.
With who's money pal!?
Jag meet, promise anything...you won’t have to deliver.
Who’ll pay for it? Taxpayers...
He’ll never have a majority so good luck buddy.
Yeah for his kind.
Yay more crap we have to pay for for welfare cheats!
On what? Municipalities control land use and there isn’t that much vacant land available. Which means demolition of existing properties.
NO
Hell, I can hardly pay for my own house...now you expect me to vote this so I can help pay for 500,000 more !!! You are crazy !!!
Sounds like a great way to bring in more homeless people
And hospitals in each neighborhood!
He can say ANYTHING because he isn’t going in!
Instead of fixing our economy he'll just accommodate us as we all grow more poor. At least hes honest on the policies
How NDP pays for its platform: ✅Wealth Tax on richest 0.1% of Cdns ✅Increase corporate tax rate to 18% ✅Increase inclusion rate on capital gains to 75% ✅Federal foreign buyer's tax on real estate ✅Ending fossil fuel subsidies ✅Tax reform to close TaxGap
as I see on youtube, there are THOUSANDS of Abandoned homes in every City on Earth just sitting there decaying, some Genius in each Town could sell them for 10 cents on the $,and still profit!!
“Singh wouldn't say if he planned to balance the federal budget when was asked if he had a timeline for doing so” how could he if he is planning to spend and spend.
During the 1st quarter of 2019 we constructed over 250k units in Cda, here is a empty promise using the word affordable
He must be building them in Wawa, no jobs, great view, black flies are a bitch in spring because in the city the price would be 150 billion or 5% of total expenditures and a tax increase. Your choice.
The Turbanator
Where's the money come from?!
Affordable housing, but not for Canadians.
And there's the CATCH!... 'IF ELECTED'! Do it anyway...
FACT: NDP governments have the best fiscal record of all political parties that have formed provincial government in Canada
The NDP and Greens are irrelevant - they can promise you the moon - it 'ain't going to happen.
Singh can say anything he wants, because he knows that he's not forming a government
Any vote you can take from trdeau, is a win in my book. Keep on promising lies Jagmeet.
Gotta put those millions of low-wage third world immigrants somewhere, I guess...
How does Mr Singh propose to pay for this announcement buttons and love?
Nope. Bull...
And who will pay for them, the NDP are great at spending taxpayer's money.
Of course they will. Spending other people’s money, bankrupting governments is an NDP cornerstone.
This man is an excellent example of the delusion expressed by the Federal NDP party. This would kill tax payers. Maybe lower taxes to get independent investors / builders to want to build more housing units therefore the market would deflate.
Not a hope in hell, thank God. NDP is the worst thought imaginable for a government. Remember Bob Rae almost bankrupted ON pandering to the unions demands.
He can promise the moon
Dont believe that,their term is 4 yrs
Good luck, where is he gonna get the funding for that ?!!!!
Sweet, a free house, I’m in!!
I could help but I don’t have a left handed hammer
So taxpayers have to house those who choose not to work.....
Singh said 5 billion. $10,000 per house?
What’s the definition of affordable housing? I pay 1200$ for a bachelors suite....Is this affordable housing! I would like to know what theJagmeetSingh thinks Affordable housing means, like what would rent look like in those buildings?
The $5billion is coming from taxing corporations which will impact jobs and tax money flowing back to the govt. useless commie nut
