Tarion is on LinkedIn promoting its Ombuds. But Tarion won't accept comments to that post - we wonder why. Here is key information related to Tarion's Ombuds from its 2025 annual report. What more do you need to know about Tarion's Ombuds? #onpoli #EndTarionMonopolyNOW

Just reading the book excerpt on Amazon was eye-opening! How easily this could happen to any one of us when making a major purchase?! Oversight and regulations are lip-service in Ontario where insurance companies and builders have the ear of our government. We need a Consumer Watchdog

Another situation that has gone from bad to worse with the Ford gov't. CPBH relies on #FOI requests to try and find out what is really going on with organizations like Tarion and HCRA, given the lack of transparency with those organizations. #FreedomOfInfo #onpoli globalnews.ca/news/1204843...

The Ford government made the unprecedented decision to pause all transparency requests for more than a week. Here's what happened behind the scenes.

Thanks to consumers/consumer advocates, Ontario is FINALLY moving forward Jan. 1/27 with a cooling off period for new freehold homes! CPBH has been among those who have advocated for this change for many years. Let's celebrate! #CoolingOffPeriod #FreeholdHomes #onpoli

Why is this allowed to continue in Ontario today?One person called it "smoke & mirrors". While Ontarians are still stuck with the mandatory monopoly Tarion, at least have a completely independent office like the ON Ombudsman w/ these responsibilities. #onpoli #Tarion #Ombuds #EndTarionMonopolyNOW

A paid ad published in the Toronto Sun in Aug. by Tarion's CEO, Peter Balasubramanian, says that Tarion "is celebrating 50 years of protecting consumers in Ontario." With a mandatory monopoly - & those compensation packages - who wouldn't be celebrating? #EndTarionMonopolyNow #onpoli
