The Canadian federal election on April 28, 2025 presents three distinct approaches to the housing crisis:
- Liberal Platform (Mark Carney): Offers a middle path with both government intervention and market incentives, including a new federal housing developer (Build Canada Homes), MURB tax incentives for rental construction, and GST cuts for first-time buyers up to $1M.
- Conservative Platform (Pierre Poilievre): Proposes a free-market approach with significant tax cuts, including capital gains tax deferral for reinvestment, GST elimination on homes under $1.3M, and reduced government involvement in housing.
- NDP Platform (Jagmeet Singh): Advocates for a housing revolution with massive public spending, stronger regulations, and more tenant protections, including rent controls and restrictions on large-scale investors.
The election is notably polarized, with polls showing over 80% of votes concentrated between the Liberals (45%) and Conservatives (37%), while the NDP sits at 8% support.
