What is compensation?

Millennials and Gen Z deserve a larger share of the $1.5 trillion in housing wealth their economic pain has helped build. Our plan would deliver $14 billion without any new taxes, so it’s time for young people to think BIG about how they want their share paid out. So tell us your ideas!

Would you like…

  • A Housing Wealth Dividend that pays every adult aged 18-39 $1,000 a year?
  • Billions more invested in postsecondary education to bring down tuition and shore up student housing?
  • To pay no income tax on the first $200,000 to $500,000 of lifetime earnings, as proposed by thought leaders like Sean Speer and Max Fawcett?
  • Billions more invested in speeding up the roll out of $10 a day child care, so no family faces rent- or mortgage-sized child care payments?
  • Every child born to receive a Head-Start Fund of $10,000, as proposed by Build Canada?

We compensate workers hurt on the job to minimize the social and economic costs of their injuries. Compensating young people for protecting homeowner wealth will similarly reduce the social and economic burdens our housing policy choices have imposed on them.
