Governments don’t tax first — they study first. In this first episode of Tap the Maple, we break down how Canada’s Liberal government has already funded and normalized research into taxing real estate and home equity. From CMHC-backed studies on taxing homes over $1M to focus groups testing public reaction, much of the groundwork is already in place. We explain why the principal residence exemption isn’t guaranteed, how “fairness” language expands policy reach, and why housing wealth is an obvious future target. This isn’t speculation — it’s policy sequencing.
