New home construction drops in October | CBC News The annual pace of housing starts, also known as new home construction, fell 17 per cent in October compared with September, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. said on Tuesday.

The housing starts in Ontario and British Columbia dropped because both markets are/were flooded with "investment" builds, not actual housing builds.
Nobody wants to live in them.
Those investors are all losing money.
That is what happens in a "free market".

Opinion: Carney’s major projects patchwork leaves holes in our economic growth If only a few projects are allowed to proceed, the whole system will feel like a lottery

It’s striking, to me, that even people like the head of the chamber of commerce still seem under the impression that being referred to the Major Projects Office means bypassing usual regulatory processes - yet to be the case for any referred projects. www.theglobeandmail.com/business/com...

A father called in to ask why his disabled son was getting the $200 clawed back.

Smith's response?

The reason for that subsidy is we lobbied the feds to cost share! Sides, we don't want disabled people moving to Alberta to take advantage of us!
