Carney taps Evan Siddall, critic of ‘glorified’ homeownership, for housing role
Siddall was once the CEO of the CMHC, where he pushed for the implementation of a home equity tax and questioned Canadians' "glorification" of home ownership.
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.
