Former US president Ronald Regan once famously said "Government is not the answer to the problem. Government is the problem." In my opinion this is certainly true when it comes to the BC NDP, and to some extent the Federal Liberals and the myriad of taxes and restrictions they continue to introduce to try and make homes and rents more affordable. Is it working? Trying to make homes more affordable by curbing demand via taxes is never a good idea. Instead we should be working the supply side and building more homes to meet the demand.
