      I wonder how this would have gone over had PP been in power and done the same thing?

      Any ideas?

      I also find it interesting how municipalities just won’t take the necessary steps to help address the housing crisis, yet everyone shits all over Ottawa as if that’s the only source of the problem from the government side of things.

      >“We will not go to a blanket zoning position in order to get the $12 million,” said Red Deer Mayor Cindy Jefferies. “I’ve heard that loud and clear from my council and from our community that that’s a non-starter.”

      Sounds like the City was okay with not getting the housing accelerator fund.

      Man… NIMBY’s have way to much power in this country. Why can’t we just let things get built.

      Can anyone speak to why those other municipalities only had their funding partially reduced while Red Deer lost their entire sum? The article didn’t make that clear. To me, that’s the real issue here.

      >The caution comes after Red Deer’s $12-million Housing Accelerator Fund (HAF) agreement was terminated by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation [effective Jan. 16](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/red-deer-housing-funding-zoning-9.7052412) after the city was found to have failed to meet the conditions needed to receive the grant.

      >In Ontario, when Toronto and Vaughn were found to have not complied with the conditions of their HAF agreements, those cities had their funding reduced by $10 million (out of $471 million) and $7.4 million (out of $59 million), respectively.

      Okay well that is 12 million more for another city that is okay with the zoning rules…. What’s the issue? It is every cities choice to participate or not…

      Perhaps Red Deer should get its collective zoning requirements together, instead of spending their time campaigning on separating from Canada. Even a backward government like Marliiania’s should realize that the requirements stipulated were developed for a reason. And that reason is to actually make affordable housing space available.

      “ We will not go to a blanket zoning position in order to get the $12 million,”

      Then stop complaining?

      As always, Federal “gifts” come with unreasonable strings attached. It’s all political theatre.

      If the Federal government gives free money and beggars become choosers, then by all means take that money back.
