Could the issue be that too many politicians both Federal and Provincial are themselves heavily invested in residential investing and profits?

The Economy is still CIRCLING THE SHITTER like it has been for years.

It’s nice to have long form platform where issues can be discussed rather than just absorbing soundbites that are often taken out of context. Great job keep up the good work and I hope your viewership increases because I think Canadians have gotten to use to the soundbites and rhetoric that are southern cousins have been adopting are no longer looking very deep into issues so that they understand the difference between reality and foolish hyperbole of political parties and their pundits

Thank you for this report, engaging and covering many things I have thought of for years. I have not seen it discussed elsewhere without something to be gained by those who discussed it.

Most Conservative politicians and some Liberal politicians have invested greatly in Real Estate pushing up housing prices and decreasing supply.

Consume, consume, consume, growth, growth, growth. Our view of how we are supposed to inhabit a planet with finite resources in the face of ecological collapse is ludicrous.

Yay to de-financialization of housing!

Good luck on the soft landing

Pandemic ends, Ukraine war starts, Saudi Arabia cuts oil production…… And now inflation is just under 4%. Given all this, I don’t think we’re doing too bad. We can’t go to sleep steady as she goes.

Why not just build more houses.

I as a minority can no longer vote left-wing it's all about hating and blaming whatever identity you identify as majority around you for all of your problems. I refuse to hate and blame Europeans for all the world's problems.

Confiscate private property. Communism 101. Thanks tips.

WAKE UP. Canada is in a depression.

Older people who worked their whole lives to create a decent retirement portfolio just had a robbery in their portfolios by Trudeau's inflation. Now they are getting a double whamy with higher interest rates. Even if you don't borrow you are paying higher prices because most companies do borrow so their expenses rise and they pass them on to the consumers. Trudeau's central planning and overspending has been a disaster as it always is when government interferes in the economy. Please report GDP without government spending, governments that overspend artificially raise GDP but it is a fraud GDP.😂 Is de-financialize code for communism Amanda? Don't tell me you are still a Trudeau supporter at this point? So at 22 mins. you are advocating for communism. Wow! Have a great day anyway!
