Hi Reader,
Kitchener Centre is in the middle of a housing crisis.
Rents are skyrocketing, homeownership is slipping out of reach, and small landlords are pulling their properties off the market—making the situation even worse.
The establishment parties have caused this mess with overregulation, endless bureaucracy, and policies that punish homeowners and landlords instead of fixing the root issues.
New Blue’s Plan for Housing in Kitchener Centre
At the New Blue Party, we believe in common-sense solutions that put people—not government—at the center of housing policy.
Here’s how we’ll fix the housing crisis:
✅ Protect Property Rights – We will fight against government overreach that drives up housing costs and discourages development. The more interference, the less housing gets built.
✅ Reform the Residential Tenancies Act – Small landlords are leaving the rental market because they can’t evict non-paying or destructive tenants. We will introduce a fair and equitable system that balances and protects both the landlords and tenents rights, ensuring that responsible landlords can keep offering housing.
✅ Lower the Cost of Living – We will cut the HST from 13% to 10%, reducing costs across the board—from rent to home maintenance to new construction.
How This Benefits Everyone in Kitchener Centre
🏠 More Housing Supply – With fair landlord protections, more rental units will become available, easing competition and lowering rent prices.
💰 Lower Costs for Families – The HST cut will put more money in your pocket, making housing-related expenses more affordable.
🔨 Encouraging Development – By protecting property rights and cutting red tape, we’ll allow builders and homeowners to create more housing options in Kitchener Centre.
The establishment parties created this mess. It’s time for a real solution.
If you want a government that fixes the housing crisis instead of making it worse, help us get the message out.
