This week, opposition councillors blocked a decision that would've unlocked 4,100+ housing units for Vancouverites while creating a new non-tax revenue source that could have gone towards funding city services and critical infrastructure. To say their decision was shortsighted and irresponsible would be an understatement. We won't lose sight... show more

Today, the opposition voted against unlocking 4,100 new rental homes for Vancouverites. This was a once-in-a-generation opportunity to seriously address affordability by building thousands of homes for middle income folks while creating tens of millions in non-tax revenue for parks, community centres, and infrastructure - all at no cost to taxpayers. Today's vote shows Vancouverites that ABC is the only party focused on real solutions for housing and affordability.

Vacant small lots sprinkled throughout our city could be the answer to unlocking tens of thousands of new units of housing. The Council’s new Advisory Group on Housing Affordability is working to turn these overlooked spaces into homes — and make a big impact on our city’s housing supply.

My goal in this budget process has always been to make sure we’re funding core, basic services in a balanced and disciplined manner. We know there is an inherent tension between asking people to pay rates, fees and taxes— and the issue of affordability. We want to make sure our city can provide the quality-of-life services that our residents deserve, but we also want to make sure we’re putting affordability first in our community. While I worry a lot about affordability, I also worry about the ability of our city to deliver quality services without more revenue. I strongly believe that if we're not making the kinds of investments we need to make in our people and our services, we will be managing decay in Austin in a very short period of time. This budget will not meet everyone’s concept of perfection. Truthfully, there are parts of the budget that I don’t like. That goes with living in a big, diverse city—different people will have different priorities, and we need to make room for all of us. Now, it is time for us to trust our voters. Voters have an opportunity in November to make a very important decision. From my perspective, the best part of this budget is that we fully fund our homeless strategy office. That was my greatest emphasis, and we've achieved it. It will make a world of difference in getting homeless people off the street in a very short period of time. I'm also very pleased with what we’ve added to funding for public safety, EMS, and wildfire prevention. A positive vote in the November tax rate election will allow us to pay for these needed services. And we make a significant investment in our parks. I look forward to a result that will be the best benefit of our community.

The race for the White House is going to be close and could come down to one electoral vote. The decision in front of the Nebraska legislature is a critically important one, and one that will be done through the democratic process. Their decision on this issue will have both national and global implications.

Another new tax is being proposed by the City of San Diego. This time the City is considering an annual $5K per bedroom tax on Airbnbs in addition to the 11.75-13.75% tax on revenue they already pay. The $5K per bedroom tax would also apply to second homes. Proponents say Airbnbs reduce longterm rental availability and drive up housing costs. However, the same Councilmember that is supporting this new tax, voted in 2022 for the existing regulatory structure that allows 1% of the housing stock to be rented on a short-term basis. Today, just 0.85% of housing stock in the City of San Diego are short-term rentals which is less than the current cap. If policymakers really wanted to force Airbnbs to convert to longterm rentals, they could simply amend the existing ordinance and lower the allowed cap on Airbnbs. By passing a new tax, instead of amending their current ordinance, this proposal seems less like a play for more housing and more like another money grab to bail out a city struggling to balance its budget.

Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani recently announced an initiative to build thousands of units of housing on city-owned property. We should do the same in San Francisco. Building on city-owned property is faster and cheaper. State laws afford streamlined entitlement processes, and no land acquisition costs mean saving 10-30% on development. Accordingly, NYC has just announced the LIFT system to track 100 city-owned property that could be used to build 50,000 units of housing. But in San Francisco we have no comparable public database. That's why I have submitted a formal letter of inquiry to city departments to compile for the first time a public record of all city owned property, its vacancy status, size, and potential uses. Amidst an affordability crisis affecting our housing and food security goals, we must think bolder in our solutions. Leveraging our city-owned property to build affordable housing or expand a food bank, can make that possible.

Labor has just passed their heartless Emergency Services tax, with the help of the Greens and other callous crossbenchers. This new tax is 189% higher than the previous tax it replaces! This tax will be taken from farming families and regional & rural communities, with no real guarantee that any of their money will come back to their areas. Councils will be forced to be the unwilling tax collectors of the Labor State Government, shifting all the political push-back and administrative burden onto them. Keeping people safe is a basic responsibility of government that should be funded out of consolidated revenue. Victorians should not be slugged with an extra property tax for the 'privilege' of keeping them safe. This tax will even target many of our desperately needed Emergency Services volunteers, who should be receiving a medal, not a new tax and a slap in the face!

Trump’s petty and pathetic decision to illegally withhold funding for Gateway is undermining union jobs, the American economy, and the safety and economic wellbeing of the hundreds of thousands of New Jerseyans that rely on this critical infrastructure every day.

When you pay sales tax, your money goes up to Ottawa and Queen’s Park. I’m moving a motion for Toronto to finally receive a share of the HST, to invest in the services you rely on here in your city, every day. Please sign the petition: It’s budget season again in Toronto and the cracks are showing between the City’s revenue and the services that the City is expected to provide. For decades, provincial and federal governments have downloaded responsibilities to the City including roads, shelters, courts, daycare, public health and more. Today, approximately 27% of Toronto’s property tax revenue is spent funding extensions of federal and provincial responsibilities. But even as Toronto is told to take on more, the province prescribes what revenue tools are available to the City, and has restricted them almost exclusively to taxes on property. Toronto is one of Canada’s primary economic engines. The Toronto region generates 20% of the national GDP, 20% of Ontario’s jobs, and attracts more than 28 million annual visitors. This level of economic activity is enabled by the investments our city has made in social and civic infrastructure, including affordable housing, public health, roads and transit. We host people from across the country and around the world at events like Taylor Swift concerts, the World Series, and the FIFA games, which generates tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue for the provincial and federal governments. Meanwhile, the City shoulders the costs of additional policing, emergency services, transit, and crowd management that make these events possible. The math doesn’t work. Without any other source of revenue, municipalities have been forced to hike property taxes, cut vital services and delay critical infrastructure investments just to stay afloat. If Toronto is expected to continue driving national prosperity, it must be granted access to revenue tools that are predictable, reflect our investments, and grow with the economy. No more “new deals”. No more begging for one-time ad hoc program funding. It’s time for Toronto to have a fair share of the HST.

Greene: Do you think it’s acceptable for billions of taxpayer dollars to be spent on housing people invading our country… Criswell: We have been directed by Congress to administer the shelter and services program. If Congress chooses to change that direction. We will follow that law. Greene: Congress is changing that direction.. Housing illegal aliens while Americans suffer with Americans’ taxpayer dollars, that’s not equatable. As a matter of fact, that’s the biggest failure that could be ever done to the American people. It’s such a failure, it should be treason

During a Russian "Military Review" radio program (this show aired on July 10, 2025), a listener suggested striking the Polish city of Rzeszów, where the main hub for military aid to Ukraine is located. "That would be considered an attack on a NATO country. And then, Volodya, we won't have 'Military Review' anymore, and you and I will be gone. Poland will be gone too," one of the hosts responded.

Housing is a human right. No one in this city should have to worry about losing their home or end up on the streets due to systemic issues. Homelessness and the housing crisis are not two different problems, they are two sides of the same coin. And they have the same solution – permanent affordable housing. Trickle down economics is a fallacy. The market cannot provide affordable housing. Prices are only going up, driving people into homelessness, or out of the city entirely. Rae will build social housing on public lands and speed up housing production citywide, cutting red tape while keeping in place tenant and homeowner protections to ensure that people are able to keep their homes. Rae will streamline the city’s housing strategy, creating a Mayor’s Office of Housing For All to consolidate these different departments under one roof, with a public dashboard to track progress and hold us accountable.

Development charges increase the cost of homes for everyone. They are a housing tax. During a housing crisis, we don’t think you should raise taxes on housing. That’s why provinces and cities must freeze the fees in order to get federal infrastructure funding. Conservatives have no plan to address these taxes. RT if you agree that cities should freeze this tax on housing.

Maybe you have to say to people we all have to pay for this" Zack Polanski, "It's right that we start our focus on the super wealthy. Once we start to move to a better footing as a society where we have better infrastructure and services, it is legitimate to say paying tax is patriotic" "We should be proud of contributing to this country. making sure we have an NHS that works.

Building a house just across the street in Burnaby can cost roughly 25% less than building the same home in Vancouver. At a time when affordability is already crushing families, City Hall shouldn’t be adding more costs and delays. Today, we’re taking action to modernize Vancouver’s building rules and bring them more in line with the Province of BC. • Less red tape • Faster approvals • Lower building costs • More affordable housing Vancouver is the only city in BC with its own standalone building code — creating extra costs, delays, and complexity that ultimately get passed on to you. Our promise is simple: every decision we make should help make life more affordable for Vancouverites. Mike Klassen 麥嘉信 🇨🇦 #affordability #abcvancouver #vancouver #respectingyourtaxdollars

There's now a hotline people can call to report illegals in public housing. This is the way 👏👏
