From David Pugliese at the Ottawa Citizen:
■ Military housing at Goose Bay, Newfoundland and Labrador, Toronto, Vancouver and Winnipeg will be shut down.
The story appeared on April 11.
Biggest take away from that right up front is that all those Conservative promises for the last half dozen years about Goose Bay remain the total bullshit they always were.
Someone should ask Leo Abbass, John Hickey and other federal Conservative backers all about that. After all, if DND sheds all that housing, that battalion or the UAV squadron or all the other BS that Leo and John campaigned for just isn’t showing up.
Then someone should contact local developers and see what a sudden dump of good affordable housing will do to the local market.
Potentially very good for consumers.
Likely not so good for speculators.
