First time home buyers will not be charged GST (5%) when buying a home, as long as the place they're buying costs less than $1M. This means that people buying a home for the first time will save up to $50k on their purchase.

Edit: Note, GST is mostly only charged when buying newly built homes, so this won't have any effect for people buying used homes.

I don’t even care if he had copied Pollivres policy, governing is about doing what’s right for Canada before all else, including your own pride.

I want leadership who implement good ideas from all sides of aisle.

If Pollievre is more worried about pride than happy that Canadians are benefitting he has the wrong mentality.

Yeah, I really wish the Federal Conservatives would implode as a party already. They’re making our politics so toxic that they make the Ontario Conservatives/Ford look good.

What I want more than anything right now is for our politicians to work together to solve the ridiculous amount of issues at hand rather than flinging shit.
