The obvious difference between equity investing and real estate is that outside of a TFSA, the investments are subject to capital gains and income tax, however primary residences are not.

With high levels of inflation in real estate, Canadians are being forced into an investment path with high maintenance and exit costs, to protect their hard earnings which are daily getting watered down.

Were Trudeau or Morneau really that concerned about 'parity' in the tax system, the individual could choose either the option of the unlimited primary residence capital gains exemption, or the option of the unlimited TFSA exemption.

This would achieve 'parity' by offering the same tax advantages to renters and to home owners.
