Episode 68: Population Shrinking + Jobs Drying Up… What Happens Next?
Canada’s inflation held at 2.2%—but coffee is up 33% and groceries are still squeezing households. We break down whether this is true inflation or price gouging in a market dominated by a few major players.
On housing: November sales dipped, fixed rates have stayed stubborn, and banks are now shrinking variable-rate discounts—a signal worth paying attention to. We also talk about where different regions sit from peak prices, and why inflation-adjusted home values are trending back toward 2017 levels.
Plus: vacancy rates rising in BC (hello renters’ market), job-market pressure building (and why trades may be the next wealth path), Ford’s EV pivot, and the latest on BC land-title financing concerns.
