Budget 2026 kept most housing rules in place. One change for small builds starts February 1, 2027.

Insured construction loans on new triplexes and fourplexes can cover up to 90% of value, with no price cap and no owner-occupancy rule.

Last week’s federal budget had plenty for rental and social housing.

It had very little for families trying to buy a home. In 2021, CMHC says 69% of the homes started in Canada were meant for ownership. By 2025, that share had fallen to 45%.

I build for people who want to own.

We need rentals too, but owning is still how most families build a life and their wealth. Put them back in the plan for Canada's housing.

Building codes should protect people and make homes safe. Every proposed change also needs a clear rationale: what problem does it solve, can it be applied in practice, and is the benefit worth the added cost?

The 2025 National Model Codes review is open until Dec. 21. Have your say through the CBHCC.

Alberta's unemployment was 5.8% when the NDP took office in May 2015. Statistics Canada had it at 8.9% by July 2016 and 6.7% when they left. If every bad month belongs to the premier, those ones belong to them.
