Instead of speeding things up, the latest Housing Minister wants to create another costly federal agency to do what the Canada Lands Company already does. But we don’t have a shortage of builders—we have too much government getting in their way. We need more homes, not more…

cbc.ca/news/canada/to… After promising they’d approve sixplexes city-wide, then voting against them at Council, Toronto was given 6 months to meet its housing deal with Ottawa. But families can’t wait 6 months. Builders can’t wait 6 months. The crisis is now. The previous…

Nobody makes more money on housing than government. About 20% of a new home's price is government taxes, charges, and fees—buried in your mortgage, compounding for 25 years. We need to reduce the burden of government to restore the dream of homeownership.

Homelessness. Hunger. Mental health. These aren’t just big city problems. They exist here too—often hidden, but growing. The Parry Sound–Muskoka Community Fund helps the people doing the work to fix them. 🔗 Link in bio to give.

🗣🎙️ Scott Aitchison: Housing in Crisis. Greetings, you curiouser and curiouser Herle Burly-ites! We’ll get right to it, because we’ve a Member of Parliament today on the pod, and an issue that’s not only central in the public consciousness, but urgent in terms of policy making,…

Really glad I listened/watched this one. @ScottAAitchison is an interesting, thoughtful MP. Gave me a lot to consider on housing policy. #cdnpoli Scott Aitchison: Housing in Crisis | The Herle Burly youtu.be/sM-eiBZjLag?si… via @YouTube

Recently, I joined the VCalla Show to explain why building a house takes so long in this country.   Local councils stall. NIMBYs complain. And the people who actually need housing? They don’t get a vote. It's no wonder we’re in a housing crisis.

Toronto got $471M in housing accelerator funding. The result? ⬆️ 40% increase in homebuilding taxes ⬇️ 58% drop in housing starts. ⬇️ A broken promise on sixplexes. The latest housing minister calls this a success... It’s not. It’s a warning. We need to cut the red tape, lower…

Honoured to attend the grand opening of the newly restored Madill Church today—a true piece of Muskoka history. Built by hand in 1873 and now lovingly preserved by the Madill Church Preservation Society, this site tells the story of the pioneers who helped build our region.…

Nothing says summer in Muskoka like the Rotary Dockfest. Great to join the fun at this incredible community event. Thanks to the organizers, volunteers, and every brave soul who raced a floating bathtub down the river!

Toronto receives $471M of Housing Accelerator Funds, then they raise homebuilding taxes, and now they ignore their promise to allow sixplexes city-wide.  The new Housing Minister calls this a success...  Will he hold them to the deal—or let taxpayers get ripped off?

While builders are laying off workers and cancelling projects, Ottawa wants to create a third federal housing agency. We don’t need more bureaucracy - we need government to get out of the way.   Less government. Lower housing taxes.  More homes.

We’ve launched a Community Fund to tackle real, often hidden, challenges right here at home — from food insecurity to housing and mental health. The Scotty Golf Tournament will help power this mission, raising vital funds and awareness every year. Click the link in my bio to…

🤔 500,000 homes a year isn’t a plan. It’s a headline. The federal government doesn’t build homes. Builders do. What we need: ✔ Faster permits ✔ Skilled labor ✔ Real infrastructure planning What we don’t need: More bureaucracy. Can Ottawa enable builders instead of…
