They also discuss B.C.’s plan to buy unsold condos, concerns around government bailouts for developers, Canada’s growing brain drain problem, potential digital-surveillance legislation, mortgage-rate expectations, and the rising cost of delayed infrastructure projects like the Massey Tunnel replacement.

Canada Added Jobs. People Still Left. | Episode 92

Send us Fan Mail Schedule a call: http://www.calendly.com/alexpangmortgage  Canada added 88,000 jobs in May and unemployment dropped — but at the same time, a record number of people are leaving the country. So what’s really happening? In this episode, Alex Pang and Alex Shanks discuss Canada’s confusing economic signals: stronger-than-expected job numbers, falling rents, frozen interest rates, rising affordability concerns, and growing frustration from Canadians who feel priced out, taxed out, or pushed out. Is the Canadian economy actually improving? Or are the headline numbers hiding a much weaker reality? They also cover the Bank of Canada’s latest rate hold, the decline in asking rents across major markets, new telecom rules, and the Greg Martel mortgage fraud scandal.
