Justin, what do you think of the Victory Bond idea today floated by NDP, especially if lots of it went to housing?

I think it's a bit cute. Government of Canada bonds are already quite popular, and I'm not sure the practical impact of issuing a bond specifically for critical infrastructure. In all liklihood, the long life of these bonds would probably make them impractical.

But I confess I haven't studied it that closely. Thanks for the suggestion. I plan on breaking down some of the specific fiscal plans of each party, so I'll include the Victory Bond idea!

Great. Like many boomers, IтАЩm looking at how to move market investments that will fund my retirement into Canada instead of the US. If there was a way to invest my rrsp/rrif in those modular houses/apartments the government wants to build, IтАЩd love to do so.
