Results of Merge[edit]

I have merged with information from Canadian Mortgage and Housing Corporation. This has resulted in some poor prose, (duplicated info, etc.) which should be fixed up. I also created a section (Large Projects) which can be expanded upon. — Preceding unsigned comment added by David Henderson (talk • contribs) 14:17, 17 August 2005 (UTC)[reply]

CMHC Influencing Calgary[edit]

Are you sure that it was NE Calgary that was influenced by the CMHC? After all the article stated that the NE quadrant of the city has a view of the mountains, but the mountains are to the WEST of Calgary... rasblue 03:57, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The NE is actually at a higher elevation than the west aparently. I learned about this in a Canadian Studies class at the U of Calgary from renowned professor and writer Max Foran, who's been studying Calgary's history for decades. Kilter 22:56, 11 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

New image of headquarters building[edit]

I've just uploaded File:CMHC headquarters Building A.jpg to the Wikimedia Commons, and I offer it as a replacement for File:CMHC building.JPG which is currently on the article page. However, I'm new here and don't want to step on anyone's toes, so I would rather someone else make the substitution if it's warranted. --Robkelk (talk) 00:13, 15 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

It's been a half-month, and nobody else has made this replacement. Is the replacement image not wanted, or does nobody read this talk page? --Robkelk (talk) 16:31, 28 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It's been another half-month, and there have been no replies. I assume nobody cares; I'll make the replacement myself. --Robkelk (talk) 16:11, 13 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

References to CMHC in text[edit]

CMHC should never be referred to as "the CMHC" as it is not mentioned this way at all by CMHC or any other Government texts. The standard way to address it should be Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation or CMHC, but never THE CMHC or THE Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation.

Just a small style note. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.49.245.180 (talk) 00:51, 31 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Problems with lack of citations[edit]

This article has big problems. Almost nothing is cited. There are several unfounded POV statements about "conservative government" and radical new policies, etc... A lot of it seems like original research in places, specifically the recent developments section. JettaMann (talk) 14:48, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Use of adverbs[edit]

This article uses adverbs inappropriate for an informational article. For example "drastically increased" should merely be "increased" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.66.249.182 (talk) 19:25, 5 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral Point Of View Issue[edit]

The list of references shows that this article draws heavily from documents produced by the CMHC itself. Many parts of the article seem to come directly from a brochure praising the CHMC, for example in Section History:

"The 1990s introduced a new era of science and technology, including the development of FlexHousing™, barrier-free housing, and Healthy Housing™, a concept of energy efficiency and resource conservation in home construction."

"In 1996 CMHC introduced emili, an automated insurance underwriting system that moves application approval times from days to seconds—making it easier for Canadian homebuyers to obtain mortgage loan insurance."

In the second excerpt, the claim of a causal link between the implementation of a faster underwriting system and the difficulty of Canadian homebuyers to obtain mortgage loan insurance is not clear and would require further justification. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Magicbretzel (talk • contribs) 06:32, 14 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree; the article has way too much sourced to primary sources. The {{POV}} tag is reasonable and I've added {{Primary sources}}. Wikipedia doesn't need to detail all of the CMHC's programs - readers can go to the official website for that. I hope to make an attempt to clean it up myself... -M.nelson (talk) 11:12, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removed general references from article[edit]

The article has had {{More footnotes}} and {{Citation style}} tagged since 2016, but almost all of the article is well-sourced with inline citations. Since inline citations are doing the legwork, I've removed this list of general references from the article. If any of them can be used to source the article, please add them back using inline citations. -M.nelson (talk) 11:04, 24 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
