🇨🇦 Ontario squeezed homeowners dry, then acts shocked they’re tapped out

Ontario has spent years inflating housing costs, bloating municipal spending, and importing endless demand, and now property owners are the tax mule of last resort. The province that lectures everyone about affordability has built a system where owning a home means financing every government failure layered on top of land transfer taxes, development charges, and ever-rising property bills, as reported. Brilliant model: punish the productive, subsidize dysfunction, then call it fairness.

This is the Trudeau-era formula at the provincial level too: cram in population growth faster than infrastructure can handle, let housing become a speculative casino, then send the invoice to ordinary families who actually put down roots. Homeowners are treated less like citizens than captive revenue sources for a political class addicted to expansion, consultants, and managed decline. Sovereignty starts at home, and if Canadians can no longer securely own one without becoming a tax farm, the country is no longer being run for the people who built it.
