Of course they don’t want to lower property values. If you reduced house prices to pre covid cost plus a more standard increase, say 25% vs the 53% google tells me that has happened in Ottawa. Anyone that has bought recently would be absolutely screwed. If they end up having borrowed more than the house is worth, the bank isn’t going to let them renew. That’s a lot of people whose down payment would have evaporated.

We’ve gotten those warnings before. The question is do they stick to their trade deals when we disagree on foreign policy.
