    We need to treat primary residence mortgages like taxes. I get the increase in borrowing rates to prevent people from buying things to combat inflation, but it really doesn’t help the cost of living crisis when you price having a place to live out of many Canadians’ budgets.

      That’s what I don’t get. Can’t they subsidize lower rates for mortgages on primary residences?
