Strongly agree

No

The Liberal Party has historically maintained the principal residence exemption and has not proposed ending it; recent Liberal housing measures have targeted speculation/misuse rather than ordinary primary-residence sales.

Strongly agree

Yes, but only if the house is sold shortly after purchase to discourage house flippers

Liberals have pursued anti-flipping/anti-speculation approaches (e.g., the federal anti-flipping rule taxing certain quick resales as business income, introduced in recent budgets), aligning with taxing short-hold resales rather than ordinary long-term primary residences.

Agree

No, taxing the family home would destroy the retirement nest egg of millions of Canadians

Liberals would likely agree with protecting typical homeowners/retirees and have avoided policies framed as taxing the family home; they tend to emphasize affordability tools that don’t broadly hit primary residences.

Slightly agree

Yes, but only on luxury mansions valued over several million dollars

Liberals sometimes support progressive/targeted taxation, but they have not advanced a clear policy to tax gains on high-value primary residences; at most this is a plausible but not established Liberal position.

Slightly disagree

Yes, the current exemption is a tax shelter that drives up housing prices for everyone else

Liberals have acknowledged speculation and tax non-compliance issues, but they have not characterized the principal residence exemption broadly as a tax shelter to be removed; they’ve focused on targeted rules (anti-flipping, vacancy/foreign buyer measures) instead of ending the exemption.

Disagree

No, the government has no right to take a cut of the equity families spent decades building

While Liberals often avoid taxing primary residences, they generally do not use rights-based anti-tax framing; they support progressive taxation and government revenue tools, so this rationale is less aligned.

Disagree

Yes

Federal Liberals have generally defended the principal residence capital gains exemption and have not campaigned on taxing primary-home sale profits; their housing plans have focused more on supply, anti-speculation, and enforcement than a broad new home-sale tax.
