Recent federal legislation and proposed policies in Canada are reshaping the landscape for landlords and real estate investors, particularly in Ontario. While aimed at improving housing affordability and tenant protections, these measures are creating significant challenges for property owners and investors. Below, we explore key laws and their implications, highlighting how they may hurt landlords and real estate investors.
Overview: Enacted on January 1, 2023, and extended to January 1, 2027, the Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act bans non-Canadians from purchasing residential properties in Canada. This applies to detached homes, condominiums, and buildings with up to three dwelling units in Census Metropolitan Areas (CMAs) and Census Agglomerations (CAs). Amendments effective March 27, 2023, relaxed some restrictions, allowing non-Canadians to purchase vacant land for development and permitting work permit holders with at least 183 days of validity to buy one residential property.
Impact on Landlords and Investors:
Overview: The Underused Housing Tax Act imposes a 1% annual tax on the value of residential properties owned by non-residents that are deemed underused or vacant. Owners must file annual returns, even if exempt, with penalties ranging from $5,000 to $10,000 for non-compliance. Exemptions apply to properties used as primary residences or rented out for at least 180 days per year, but the tax targets speculative holding of vacant properties.
Impact on Landlords and Investors:
Overview: In 2024, the federal government introduced significant mortgage reforms, including increasing the insured mortgage price cap from $1 million to $1.5 million and extending 30-year amortizations for first-time homebuyers purchasing new builds. Additionally, the 2023 Fall Economic Statement denies income tax deductions for short-term rental operators not compliant with provincial or municipal regulations, effective January 1, 2024.
Impact on Landlords and Investors:
Overview: Announced in 2024, the Canadian Renters’ Bill of Rights aims to protect tenants by requiring landlords to disclose rental price histories, providing legal funding to fight unfair practices, and allowing rent payments to contribute to tenants’ credit scores. Ontario’s Residential Tenancies Act (RTA) amendments and Toronto’s new renoviction bylaws (effective July 31, 2025) further strengthen tenant protections, requiring landlords to obtain licenses for renovations, pay tenant relocation costs, and offer the right of first refusal to return at the same rent.
Impact on Landlords and Investors:
Overview: While primarily a provincial measure in British Columbia, the federal government’s policies align with efforts to curb speculative real estate investment. British Columbia’s speculation and vacancy tax (2% for non-residents, 0.5% for residents) has expanded to 13 new communities, requiring homeowners to declare property usage starting in 2025. Ontario’s Non-Resident Speculation Tax (NRST) imposes a 25% tax on residential property purchases by non-residents in specific areas.
Impact on Landlords and Investors:
The federal government’s new and proposed laws, while designed to enhance housing affordability and tenant rights, pose significant challenges for landlords and real estate investors in Ontario and Canada. The Prohibition on the Purchase of Residential Property by Non-Canadians Act and Underused Housing Tax limit foreign investment, potentially reducing market liquidity and property values. Mortgage reforms and short-term rental restrictions increase competition and compliance costs, while the Renters’ Bill of Rights and Ontario’s tenant protections raise operational and legal risks. For small-scale landlords and investors, these changes could lead to reduced profitability, higher administrative burdens, and limited flexibility in managing properties.
To navigate this evolving landscape, landlords and investors should stay informed about regulatory changes, consult legal and financial advisors, and consider diversifying into markets or property types less affected by these policies. For more information on federal housing policies, visit Canada.ca or CMHC. For Ontario-specific regulations, refer to Ontario.ca or contact the Landlord and Tenant Board.
In a striking conversation on the Breaking Battlegrounds podcast, Daniel Buck, a research fellow at the American Enterprise Institute and director of the Conservative Education Reform Network, didn’t hold back when asked what he would do if handed the reins to American education.
With 54% of U.S. adults unable to read beyond a sixth-grade level and 18% considered functionally illiterate, Buck called the situation a “travesty.” His solution? Begin by eliminating the federal Department of Education altogether.
Buck argues that much of the $26 billion spent annually on teacher professional development is wasted on “crackpots, consultants, and salespeople” peddling the latest fads instead of proven teaching methods. Phonics, rote memorization, and silent reading—what Buck calls “tried and true” techniques—are neglected because they’re not trendy or profitable.

As August 1 quietly slipped by, so did Canada’s last, best chance to avoid a sharp escalation in trade tensions with its most important economic partner. Unlike Mexico, which secured a temporary reprieve, Canada is now fully exposed to a 35% tariff imposed by the United States on a range of non-USMCA-covered goods. For the Canadian agri-food sector—and for consumers from coast to coast—this is less a policy adjustment and more a gut punch.

How the 2025 Stablecoin Framework Impacts Financial Systems, Digital Currencies, and Global Dollar Dominance
The GENIUS Act, signed into law on July 18, 2025, establishes a regulatory framework for stablecoins—cryptocurrencies pegged to assets like the U.S. dollar. Here’s how it impacts the banking system and cryptocurrency:
The GENIUS Act fosters innovation by integrating stablecoins into the financial system, benefiting banks with new revenue streams and crypto with legitimacy. However, it risks deposit outflows, market concentration, and potential crises if oversight fails. While it strengthens the U.S. dollar’s global role, unresolved consumer protection and stability concerns could limit its long-term success.
