Today's news of PM Trudeau's resignation reaffirms that Ontario will (very likely) have two elections in 2025. As an association, what is your election strategy? This week we want to share our five association election strategy tips: 1️⃣ Review Regulations: Elections in Canada (and Ontario) are heavily regulated with serious penalties for non-compliance. Before you launch your strategy - get to know the rules. For example, if your association plans on spending ad dollars or doing public opinion research during the pre-writ or writ-period it may need to register as a third-party with Elections Canada or Elections Ontario. This is a complex process that I would suggest getting legal advice on. There are also specific rules pertaining to registered lobbyists participating in elections and conflicts of interest.

Home ownership is in retreat. Governments are putting more red tape on real estate & the national policy consensus on housing is shifting. What should the RE industry do? Three strategic opportunities: ✅ Invest in advocacy. ✅ Promote real estate professionalism. ✅ Champion home ownership. Read CEO's @D_MThorn column: lnkd.in/gRAtjYpb

I wrote a piece for @REM_Online that will appear tomorrow on three strategic opportunities for 🇨🇦's RE industry in '24. #staytuned One of the contributing factors IMO is the need to respond to the ⬆️ regulation of real estate. #onpoli #realestate

Minister @SeanFraserMP delivering a strong speech for 15 mins at the @Empire_Club with no notes or prompter. Only about 2% of politicians are able to do that. Talent level = high.

WECAR™ believes that Windsor must go forward on housing supply and affordability, not backward. Read President Maggie Chen's column in the Windsor Star for more info: windsorrealestate.com/wecarb…

Three things from Minister @PaulCalandra's speech to the ON Housing Forum today: 1. Recommitted to 1.5 million homes by 2031 2. Signalled a doubling down on cutting red-tape 3. Struck a more collaborative tone towards municipal leaders #onpoli
