Would you vote for a policy that makes homes more affordable, but noone could profit much from rising home prices? This is the trade-off we need to ask for future generations.

B.C. could eliminate taxes on income, property, transfer, and SVT with a single tax on land value. It could leave most households ahead and make the tax system much fairer.

"The uncomfortable truth is that Canada's high home prices are a deliberate policy choice. Our system encourages housing as an investment rather than a basic affordable need." — John Pasalis, President of Realosophy Realty

One Aussie says what all Canadian politicians won't. "As more of the population bought into housing as a wealth-building tool, price increases became not only inevitable, but politically desirable." Can you imagine an elected official saying this?

Many people wonder why land value tax won't just raise rents. Answer: you can't create or destroy land. That's why economists consider it the 'least bad' (even 'perfect') tax. It could lower income or property taxes and encourage more housing supply.

We could virtually eliminate income tax for Canadians if we better taxed land and resource rents instead. Instead, working families are getting the snot taxed out of them while rents rise.

Workers are overtaxed and 'double-billed': they pay tax on income, which funds public goods that raise their rent. The late economist Fred Foldvary said this is a major cause of income inequality and why we should tax land instead of wages.

Our current tax system punishes development and work. Land value tax is the only tax that doesn't do that.

BC land value "increased by over $1 trillion over a decade. It tripled." — Paul Finch, President of BC General Employees' Union This is the largest transfer of public to private wealth happening before our eyes.

Greece's former Finance Minister Yanis Varoufakis says publicly created wealth is being privatized at scale, which could be paying us dividends instead. "We are producing capital collectively but only Google gets the profits."

Hannah Spencer’s victory in Gorton and Denton was such an extraordinary moment — I was in tears when the result was announced. Zack Polanski’s leadership is bringing real energy and momentum to the Greens, and I’m confident we’ll see that reflected in the upcoming local elections.
