Economy & Affordability

Economic prosperity and affordability in Canada are fundamental values, reflecting principles of social justice and equality. Policies promoting fair wages, affordable housing, and accessible healthcare align with these ideals, ensuring a more equitable and prosperous society for all. If the LPPC is elected, below are the issues that we will tackle.

  • Limit and strengthen rent so tenants are not being forced out of their houses.

    • Expand rent control to cover more housing types.

  • Providing stable housing for homeless individuals, this will help address homelessness more.

  • Offer more financial help to those who can commit to building housing units.

  • Have more tenant protections and strengthen rights so Canadians are aware they are safe.

    • Offer legal support or programs.
