Prime Minister Mark Carney has tapped Evan Siddall to be the inaugural chair of Build Canada Homes, someone who has stated that he’s wary as to why Canadians have “glorified this idea of homeownership”
While serving as the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation’s CEO, Siddall also spent $250,000 to study proposals to implement a home equity tax, a levy that would have taken major shares of proceeds when families sell their homes, leaving them with less to buy a new home or provide for retirement.
