Very strongly agree

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

Very consistent with NDP housing policy: the party has advocated anti-flipping measures and cracking down on speculation to cool housing markets, including proposals to tax or penalize short-term resales.

Strongly agree

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

This aligns with NDP-style progressive taxation—protecting typical homeowners while asking more from the very wealthy. The NDP has repeatedly advocated higher taxes on the wealthy and measures aimed at luxury/wealth concentration rather than broad-based homeowner taxes.

Agree

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

The NDP is receptive to the argument that tax preferences can function as shelters and worsen inequality, and it has pushed to close loopholes; however, it has not made eliminating the primary-residence exemption a central plank, so agreement would be partial rather than full-throated.

Agree

No

The NDP has not typically campaigned on ending the principal-residence capital gains exemption; its housing platforms have emphasized affordability measures and targeting speculators, so it would lean toward keeping the general exemption—though not necessarily as an absolute principle.

Agree

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

While the NDP is less likely to use this framing, it is attentive to seniors and retirement security; it would be cautious about policies perceived to hit ordinary homeowners’ nest eggs, even if it supports taxing high-end or speculative gains.

Slightly agree

Yes

The NDP often supports more progressive taxation and closing loopholes, but it has generally focused on taxing wealth/speculation (e.g., anti-flipping, foreign buyers, luxury measures) rather than broadly taxing gains on all primary residences, which is politically sensitive for middle-class homeowners.

Disagree

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

This is a rights/anti-tax framing more associated with conservative/libertarian arguments; the NDP generally accepts a strong government role in redistribution and would not endorse the idea that government has ‘no right’ to tax equity gains.
