🧵#Canada's politicians have been talking a lot about #affordablehousing.

But, to quote @ronmortgageguy "All Levels Of Government Talk About AFFORDABLE Housing But None Of Them Will Ever Say Houses Prices Must Come DOWN"

Why is this? Could there be a conflict of interest?

Below is a list of #Ontario politicians that meet 1 or more of the following criteria:

1) #residentialrental property that they earn an income from
2) residential rental property without disclosing any income
3) non-residential property
4) other involvement in #realestate

All of this information can be found on the website pages of @EthicsCanada, which is #Canadian governments Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner. The annual review was completed 2 days ago.

Let's take the time to go through each MPs disclosures, posted below one by one.
