Two generations!
We are often asked why governments won't fix these issues.
It seems that its a case of "follow the money".

Pls start to make meaningful positive change for Ontario's consumers .@stcrawford2 @sandhuamarjot1 & @BR4CambridgePC. High priorities shd be DAAs like Tarion & HCRA.
I am pleased to welcome @sandhuamarjot1 as our new Parliamentary Assistant at the Ministry of Public and Business Service Delivery and Procurement, alongside @BR4CambridgePC.
Together, their knowledge and experience will strengthen our team as we advance meaningful results for Ontarians.
Another Ontario homeowner fighting the mandatory monopoly Tarion at the LAT.
This is an on-line public hearing.
CPBH extends our best wishes to Pawan Kumar.

🚨 BREAKING 🚨 Another Ford bombshell
Conservative MPP caught in cash for access scandal.
Lobbyist Mr. X organized a $25,000 fundraiser for Conservative MPP Laurie Scott. In exchange, she helped the lobbyist override planning laws for one of his developer clients.

Keep up the good fight @CPBH01. Time for an overhaul. Canadians and Ontarian’s deserve better. Hold them accountable. They are a conflict of interest. And they ruin people’s lives!
Many homeowners have told CPBH over the decades that they have no energy/appetite to pursue yet another process after fighting Tarion for years - and losing.
It's long overdue for a systemic examination by @Ont_Ombudsman.

After 20 years of homeowners losing 85% of the time at the LAT when appealing Tarion decisions, it's long overdue for a systemic investigation. Read our Open Letter request to .@Ont_Ombudsman:

EXCLUSIVE: The Ford government has spent five years, and an untold amount in taxpayers dollars, fighting to keep their 2018 mandate letters a secret.
Here - in full - are all 24 sets of directives, leaked to and verified by Global News.

The uncomfortable truth about buying pre-construction in Ontario?
You could put down $250,000, the builder goes bankrupt, and you lose $150,000.
For new freehold homes, Tarion deposit protection is capped at $100,000. Not every dollar you hand over is guaranteed.
The craziest part? Builders can use your deposit to finance construction.

Why is the .@fordnation gov't not focused on the safety of the occupants, Min. @Andrea_Khanjin?
We continue to hear from Ontarians who have code violations in their newly built homes.

Building Ontario Faster Act (2026) is about less red tape, faster approvals, and a stronger Ontario.
We are cutting red tape and permit processing delays to speed up approvals, fortify our supply chains and create the most competitive economy in the G7.

.@hcraontario again refused to hold a hybrid annual meeting in 2026. CPBH wanted to attend in person to ask questions of its leadership.
We submitted questions via HCRA's process, but still have not rec'd a response.

LAT’s an important part of the new home construction &warranty regime sham in Ontario.
It’s window dressing so people think they can appeal a Tarion decision & win.
How it works:
* Tarion protects selves &builders w lawyers there
* Homeowners lose 95% of the time
That’s it.
After 20 years of homeowners losing 85% of the time at the LAT when appealing Tarion decisions, it's long overdue for a systemic investigation. Read our Open Letter request to .@Ont_Ombudsman:

Falling prey to this scam could cost you years of your life, more money that you can imagine, your mental health, your relationships and more.
See what happened to the eight families in Canada’s Other Housing Crisis.
Information is a consumer’s best friend.
How about ensuring that all newly built homes meet code?
These families could all afford to purchase a newly built home. What happened to them as a result of code violations is heartbreaking - & unacceptable.

In Saskatoon, there is a 92% approval for bylaw variance applications before the Development Appeal Board. Since the former Chairman was also working for the Saskatoon & Region Homebuilders Association, it’s not that surprising especially when members ask for variance.
