Fourplex spat between Queen’s Park and Ottawa has local implications

Local

Premier Doug Ford has been in a recent back-and-forth with the Trudeau government in Ottawa about whether the province should force all municipalities to allow for the construction of all proposed fourplexes.

Earlier this month, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced $5 billion to help fund infrastructure related to housing.

The money is to be divided among Canada’s provinces and territories, but requires provincial governments to take action on a list of items laid out by the federal government, including a requirement that all provinces adopt a policy of allowing fourplexes as-of-right.
