The late Bill Teron was right.

Many homeowners have told CPBH over the decades that they have no energy/appetite to pursue yet another process after fighting Tarion for years - and losing.
It's long overdue for a systemic examination by @Ont_Ombudsman.

After 20 years of homeowners losing 85% of the time at the LAT when appealing Tarion decisions, it's long overdue for a systemic investigation. Read our Open Letter request to .@Ont_Ombudsman:

EXCLUSIVE: The Ford government has spent five years, and an untold amount in taxpayers dollars, fighting to keep their 2018 mandate letters a secret.
Here - in full - are all 24 sets of directives, leaked to and verified by Global News.

The uncomfortable truth about buying pre-construction in Ontario?
You could put down $250,000, the builder goes bankrupt, and you lose $150,000.
For new freehold homes, Tarion deposit protection is capped at $100,000. Not every dollar you hand over is guaranteed.
The craziest part? Builders can use your deposit to finance construction.

Why is the .@fordnation gov't not focused on the safety of the occupants, Min. @Andrea_Khanjin?
We continue to hear from Ontarians who have code violations in their newly built homes.

Building Ontario Faster Act (2026) is about less red tape, faster approvals, and a stronger Ontario.
We are cutting red tape and permit processing delays to speed up approvals, fortify our supply chains and create the most competitive economy in the G7.

.@hcraontario again refused to hold a hybrid annual meeting in 2026. CPBH wanted to attend in person to ask questions of its leadership.
We submitted questions via HCRA's process, but still have not rec'd a response.

LAT’s an important part of the new home construction &warranty regime sham in Ontario.
It’s window dressing so people think they can appeal a Tarion decision & win.
How it works:
* Tarion protects selves &builders w lawyers there
* Homeowners lose 95% of the time
That’s it.

Falling prey to this scam could cost you years of your life, more money that you can imagine, your mental health, your relationships and more.
See what happened to the eight families in Canada’s Other Housing Crisis.
Information is a consumer’s best friend.
How about ensuring that all newly built homes meet code?
These families could all afford to purchase a newly built home. What happened to them as a result of code violations is heartbreaking - & unacceptable.

In Saskatoon, there is a 92% approval for bylaw variance applications before the Development Appeal Board. Since the former Chairman was also working for the Saskatoon & Region Homebuilders Association, it’s not that surprising especially when members ask for variance.

Buying a new home in Ontario? You need to know this.
Ontario’s Auditor General exposed serious weaknesses in HCRA’s oversight of builder licensing in October 2025.
Consumer protection must begin BEFORE an agreement is signed.
A licence should mean protection not just permission.

So many questions about the Greenbelt scandal.
How did a developer whose proposal reached the housing minister’s office in June 2021 end up having that exact property removed from the Greenbelt in November 2022, and who was involved in making that decision? #onpoli

We're cutting red tape and building a stronger, more competitive and self-reliant Ontario!
These reforms will speed up archaeological approvals, helping get homes and critical infrastructure built faster while protecting Ontario's archaeological heritage.

It’s always just one more time! My neighborhood is full of these one time basis examples. What’s interesting is that they always seem to involve multi million dollar homes and well connected builders.
