A pleasure to lead that excellent panel of industry leaders - Anne Morash of GWLRA, Brett Miller of Canderel, and Scott Hutcheson of Aspen Properties - and discuss some of the 2022 REALPAC Prospective Survey results with them. Thx also REALPAC

Stats Canada just announced that Canada’s population grew by over one million people in 2022, a record high and the most amongst advanced economies… There remains no housing plan in place.

I'm told that the fundamental cause of our housing crisis is the restrictive zoning policies (and NIMBYs) that are suddenly constraining the supply of new housing But I'm not convinced, what do you think?

A great thread from Alex. A finite construction labor pool, continuing slow approvals processes, and high development taxes and fees will continue to be barriers, for social and market housing.

Romy we will miss your leadership and grace under pressure. You made a very positive difference at CMHC. May Romy 3.0+ find more Ikigai at the IMF.

A powerful indictment of a major global university. Others are also not standing up against hate. I've been to Israel. A democracy surrounded by hostiles. I #standwithIsrael and all my Jewish colleagues.
