I’ve heard BC lower mainland is big on that? Trying to encourage redevelopment and vertical infill?

As it is in my small city. It doesn't alter the tax factor for the building owner. They are all accessed by one single door, usually next to the store. They don't have the look or frontage of a fourplex.

What is a ‘fourplex’
What is a ‘fourplex’ and could it help Canada’s housing crisis? - National | Globalnews.ca
Experts believe the 'fourplex' may be the answer to many of Canada's housing woes. The problem, though, is that fourplexes are illegal to build in most of Canada.

Cost of housing in Canada
A. If the "free-er market" (allowing 4-plexes within building envelopes) is the better, more natural market state- that means the market under exclusionary zoning featured prices artificially inflated by government intervention. Should those gains have been "socialized"? B. What's a real loss...

Its interesting to me how much the LPC has lost the 18-34 and 35-54 vote.
And the overall spread between NDP and LPC is looking very narrow.

Potential for LPC and NDP to merge as one party. Angry NDPers have nowhere else to go, JT already lost the fiscally conservative liberal voters. The risk is minimal.
JT will go down in history as a uniter of the left. The new left party could be in a position to win the next election.

The expected stampede for people to sell their second properties is not going to happen. What they will do is hold onto them in the hope that the next government retreats on the capital gains front. All the Liberals have done with this budget has made Canada ever more unattractive to do business in.

It seems interesting that they chose to go after the demographic most likely to support them. Not many working class people have second homes or cottages, but lots of upper-middle/upper class people do.

The middle class has been squeezed dry. The Middle/Upper seems like a good target to squeeze from....what do they need cottages for? We could house the homeless in them or immigrants or....

Assuming 1) someone within his earshot is brave enough to encourage that, and if so, 2) PMJT is willing to listen AND do it. My sense is still that he wants to fight it out with PP. He's been saying he's not planning on leaving, but many people in politics thinking of leaving tend to say in their outside voices that they're not - at least until the moment of their choosing, anyway.
Meanwhile, haven't listened to this yet, but the host (former Liberal operative, worked for Turner, Martin & Wynne) is typically very good at drawing out folks of all team jerseys. This episode brings together former Chiefs of Staff for major players of all stripes to talk about the budget ("Ian Brodie – first Chief of Staff to Stephen Harper, and central to the founding of the CPC. Now … Professor of Political Science at the University of Calgary. Tim Murphy – former Chief of Staff to Paul Martin … now CEO and Managing Partner at McMillan LLP. Brian Topp – former Chief of Staff to Rachel Notley in Alberta … Deputy Chief to Roy Romanow in Saskatchewan … and one of the architects of Jack Layton’s Orange Wave. Today, he’s a founding partner at GT&co.)

And young people don't vote....
Why are fewer young people voting?
Elections Canada has commissioned several research studies to better understand why many young people are not showing up to the polls. This research is part of Elections Canada’s ongoing efforts to understand how barriers to voting are evolving.From the 2015 National Youth Survey, the agency found two major barriers that prevented youth from voting: motivation and access. The survey found that compared with older voters, Canadian youth
- are less interested in Canadian politics
- feel less strongly that voting will make a difference
- believe that the government does not care what they think
- tend to see voting as a choice rather than a duty
- were less likely to receive a voter information card
- were less aware of the ways to register and vote
- perceived the voting process as too difficult (getting to the polls, proving their identity)
Youth Voting Trends in Canada | Elections Canada's Civic Education
The health of any democracy depends on informed and engaged citizens. This section discusses voter turnout trends and the research done to understand why young Canadians tend to vote less than older Canadians, and how civic education can help get more young Canadians to the polls. Trends in...

He can't say he's leaving until he has everything in place for the turnover (freeland?). Also, I think it'll be a quick flash to bang. Anything else and his government becomes a lame duck government, unable to accomplish anything until they're punted. Which it probably will anyway under his replacement.

I used to believe that Trudeau would stick around for one more go, but since it came out that his best bud, Dominic LeBlanc, was organizing to run for the leadership, and did not deny it when asked, tells me that LeBlanc has Trudeau’s blessing. Therefore it seems that Trudeau may not stick around much longer. The Tories will have to find something else to campaign on other than Trudeau Bad.
