CPC proposes housing growth ties to grants in round-table
Conservative housing critic MP Scott Aitchison told a Medicine Hat audience that cities could face conditions on infrastructure grants to spur housing growth. Leader Pierre Poilievre seeks private-led housing and less bureaucracy, with smaller centres also targeted for new rules. Aitchison noted infrastructure money should be evaluated through a housing lens and suggested upsize needs for aging utilities. a Conservative government would emphasize lowering inflation via reduced government spending while engaging private and non-profit sectors.

Carbon capture projects rise in Canada after Polaris approval
Federal Natural Resources Minister Jonathan Wilkinson says Shell Canada’s Polaris CCS project signals a wave of investments. He expects 20 to 25 commercial scale CCS projects to break ground in Canada this decade as a 50 percent tax credit now backs capital costs. Polaris will capture about 650,000 tonnes of CO2 annually at Edmonton area facilities. Industry groups estimate Canada must triple CCS capacity by 2030 to hit national emissions targets.
