So essentially 35% less people are able to get a mortgage & fulfill their aspiration of having a home? Aren't our governments just wonderful in helping banks & their shareholders maintain their record profits?

Reason: Interest rate hikes, inflation and your usual “alarming” article titles 😂

Looks good on you.

I honestly ask myself everyday, why people re-elected JustinTrudeau. He has done nothing other than making Canabis legal and doing black face. Yet, he not a racist because the word liberal is next to his name, so let’s forgive and forget 🙄

But, Canadians have the $10 a day! That should keep the economy going?

Greed and gouging and foreign 'investors' are to blame.

cost of living cooled ? rising rates adds to the cost of doing business. My restaurant bill has dropped? NOT! Plumber cheaper NOT......

More to come.
