This episode features Dr. Marie-Claire Arrieta PhD from the University of Calgary (Canada), speaking about development of the early life gut microbiome, both in preterm and non-preterm infants. Across the field, it has been established that the early days and months of an infant's life are very determinant of immune system development as well as chronic disease later in life. In this period, environmental cues are important, with some of these cues coming from the gut microbiome – both bacteria and fungi. Preterm infants show a very different gut microbiome than non-preterm infants. Ample evidence shows probiotics given to preterm infants can bring clinical benefits such as a reduced risk of necrotizing enterocolitis, but this is separate from investigations into the infants' gut microbiomes. Dr. Arrieta's work has shown that probiotics can guide the gut ecosystem of preterm infants toward approximating the non-preterm gut microbiome. One gap in the research is to know more about the effects of specific strains; their work found that although bifidobacteria were more effective at colonizing in the gut, lactobacilli drove some aspects of microbiota maturation. Dr. Arrieta speculates that the case for probiotic use for preterm infants will become stronger as trials increasingly focus on health outcomes not just during the neonatal intensive care unit stay, but also later in life. Overall in healthy infants, different patterns of gut microbiome and immune development can lead to the appearance of diseases later in life. The latest insight is that disease is linked not to specific microbes or metabolites, but to the pace of gut microbiome development. Misalignment of gut microbiome development (too early or too late) with stages of immune development is associated with later emergence of allergic disease. Several factors such as C-section birth and antibiotics may contribute to this misalignment, but breastfeeding seems to mitigate it. Dr. Arrieta has an ongoing longitudinal study on the early life microbiota and disease associations in preterm and non-preterm infants that is likely to reveal more details.

HEALTH NEWS   Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidanc       Probiotics emerge as a potent tool against depression and anxiety University of Calgary (Canada), January 14 2026 (Natural News) For decades, the standard pharmaceutical approach to treating depression and anxiety has dominated treatment options, despite significant drawbacks including delayed effects, debilitating side effects and high relapse rates. Now, compelling new research is challenging this paradigm by pointing to a surprising source of relief: the gut. A comprehensive scientific analysis, synthesizing data from over 1,400 clinically diagnosed patients, reveals that probiotics—beneficial bacteria readily available as supplements—can produce substantial reductions in both depressive and anxious symptoms.   The analysis major findings include:     A major analysis of 23 clinical trials finds probiotics can significantly reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety in clinically diagnosed patients.   The benefits, appearing within 4-8 weeks, were comparable to some conventional antidepressants but without the same side-effect profile.   The gut-brain axis, a communication network largely ignored by conventional psychiatry, is central to understanding this connection.   Single-strain probiotic supplements, particularly certain Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium species, showed the strongest mental health effects.   This research supports a holistic view of mental wellness, where gut health is a foundational component of treatment.     Altered microbiome: Oral bacteria play a role in chronic liver disease, study reveals Technical University Munich (Germany), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) Each year, more than two million people die from advanced chronic liver disease (ACLD). Previous research has linked gut microbiome disruptions to this condition and suggested that bacteria typically found in the mouth may colonize the gut. A new study published in Nature Microbiology now shows that identical bacterial strains occur in both the mouth and gut of patients with advanced chronic liver disease and also reveals a mechanism by which oral bacteria affect gut health. The researchers also found that this process coincides with worsening liver health. Researchers analyzed bacterial populations in saliva and stool samples from patients. The team found that both the gut and oral microbiome undergo significant changes as liver disease worsened, where changes to the oral microbiome were already detectable at earlier disease stages. In healthy individuals, bacterial communities differ substantially between body sites. In patients with liver disease, however, oral and gut microbiomes became increasingly similar as the disease progressed and nearly identical bacterial strains were recovered from the mouth and gut of patients. "These strains are typically found in the mouth and are rarely present in the healthy gut. However, we observed increases in the absolute abundances of these oral bacteria in patients with advanced chronic liver disease. This strongly suggests that these bacteria translocate from the mouth and colonize the gut," explains Melanie Schirmer, Professor of Translational Microbiome Data Integration at TUM.   Health issues linked to cosmetic jab complications Anglia Ruskin University (UK), January 9 2026 (Eurekalert)   Patients with chronic illnesses face a significantly higher risk of complications from cosmetic botulinum toxin injections, commonly known as Botox, according to a major UK study. Researchers from Anglia Ruskin University (ARU) surveyed 919 adults who had received botulinum toxin treatments for aesthetic reasons. The study, published in Aesthetic Surgery Journal, is the largest of its kind to have been carried out in the UK. Botulinum toxin injections are among the UK's most popular cosmetic procedures, with an estimated 900,000 treatments performed every year. Researchers found that underlying conditions such as type 1 diabetes, thyroid disorders, chronic migraine and skin disease dramatically increase the likelihood of adverse effects. According to the study, people with type 1 diabetes were 92 times more likely to experience nausea after treatment compared to those without the condition. Those with thyroid disorders and chronic migraine sufferers had an approximately 10-fold increase in the risk of nausea. Other complications associated with pre-existing conditions included headaches, bruising, muscle weakness and persistent eyelid droop (ptosis). Patients with cataracts were 30 times more likely to report headaches, and those with prior injuries had a 21-fold increased risk of losing facial expression.   From yoga to awe walks: Many paths lead to better mental health, largest analysis of well-being interventions finds Swansea University (UK), January 15 2026 (Medical Xpress) New research by Swansea experts has provided the largest ever comparison of well-being-focused interventions delivered to adults. The team reviewed 183 randomized controlled trials, representing almost 23,000 participants, and evaluated 12 categories of interventions ranging from psychological, physical, mind–body, and nature-based approaches to find out more. Their research was the first interdisciplinary comparison carried out across psychological, physical, mind-body and environmental interventions. The study gives an integrated view of how different disciplines contribute to well-being. By focusing on general adult samples rather than clinical groups, it provides evidence that will be relevant to developing public health, education, workplace well-being, and community programs. The researchers' key findings were: Most interventions improved well-being compared with inactive control groups; Strongest effects were found for combined exercise plus psychological interventions (for example, awe walks or meditation combined with walking); Mind–body interventions showed consistently moderate, reliable effects; Exercise alone produced similar benefits to many psychological interventions; and, Positive psychology interventions—both single-component and multicomponent—were also effective. The analysis shows that there is no single route to improving well-being. Mindfulness, compassion-based approaches, yoga, exercise and positive psychology interventions all showed moderate benefits compared with control groups, and combining physical activity with psychological interventions appeared particularly promising.   Weight loss drugs may cause nutritional deficiencies without proper guidance     University College London & Cambridge, January 7 2026 (News-Medical) People prescribed the new generation of weight loss drugs may not receive sufficient nutritional guidance to support safe and sustainable weight loss, leaving them vulnerable to nutritional deficiencies and muscle loss, say experts at UCL and the University of Cambridge. In research published today in Obesity Reviews, the team found a lack of robust evidence surrounding nutritional advice and support and the impact this has on factors such as calorie intake, body composition, protein adequacy, and patient experiences. Weight loss drugs such as semaglutide and tirzepatide – available under brand names including Ozempic, Wegovy and Mounjaro – mimic the naturally-occurring hormone glucagon like peptide-1 (GLP-1), released into the blood in response to eating. The drugs suppress appetite, increase a feeling of being full, and reduce food cravings. These drugs can reduce calorie intake by between 16-39 %, making them a powerful tool to help people living with obesity and being overweight. However, there has been little research to examine their impact on diet quality, protein intake, or adequacy of micronutrients (vitamins and minerals). The researchers identified just 12 studies that looked at nutrition and diet alongside treatment with semaglutide or tirzepatide. Given the widespread – and increasing – use of these medications and the urgency of providing advice to individuals using the drugs, there was insufficient evidence from the studies to recommend strict low-fat diets to complement the weight loss drugs. Some observational studies found that people on the treatments often consumed excessive levels of total and saturated fat. These medications are transforming obesity care, but we know very little about how they shape people's daily lives, including changes in appetite, eating patterns, wellbeing, and quality of life.

Colette Hamon grew up as a farm girl in an all-French-speaking town. Those days, her world revolved around wheat farming and the Catholic Church. Entrepreneurship, business growth, love, intimacy, gender roles, psychology – none of them were topics orbiting in her universe. After moving to the "big city" and earning her MBA, Hamon worked her way up the corporate ladder and saw success. But none of it fueled her fire. She founded BraTopia after recognizing a gap: the "big players" who dominated the lingerie industry were creating spaces that were not fit for the modern woman. They created discomfort, whereas Hamon wanted to promote self-acceptance and self-love. None of the brands served the woman she was or the woman she wanted her daughter to be. She has three children, two dogs, and no lack of interesting stories with regards to her life's adventures. Join Our Community of Canadian Entrepreneurs!

Scott Barras, Head of Work Dynamics, Canada, for JLL, discusses a recent survey by the commercial real estate company on the Future of Work. The video can be seen here. Press Release JLL's Future of Work Survey uncovers new opportunities for corporate real estate as two-thirds of business leaders expect their CRE budget to increase between now and 2030  CHICAGO, Sept. 9, 2024 – Despite the challenging commercial real estate landscape and mixed economic environment, global business leaders are bullish on the future, with two-thirds (65%) expecting their CRE budgets to increase between now and 2030, as revealed in JLL's (NYSE: JLL) Future of Work survey. The biennial, global survey explores the evolving world of work by assessing the key priorities, challenges and strategies that are top of mind for more than 2,300 business and CRE decision makers. This year's findings are unveiled through a series of articles exploring key areas of focus for corporate real estate teams: Managing the implications of shifting work patterns; Partnering with the C-suite to support CRE investment; Identifying CRE activities for ‘AI copiloting'; Moving from ambition to action on sustainability commitments; and Defining the future-fit CRE function. The first two articles, launched today, dive into the effects of shifting work patterns on workplace expectations, and what the changing world of work means for the way the CRE function operates as more than 64% of leaders expect to increase and rebalance their headcount by 2030, in an attempt to recruit the right skills for the future. “Since our 2022 survey, the CRE landscape has become increasingly complex and dynamic, evolving toward better office use. We see that in these results, and in our conversations with clients,” said Neil Murray, Global CEO, Work Dynamics, JLL. “Looking ahead, business and CRE leaders working to drive talent and efficiency throughout their organization must consider the unique needs of their organization, and leverage tools such as tech, AI, and upskilling, as well as strategic partnerships across the value chain to enable the CRE function to reach its full potential as a powerful agent of transformation.” Competing visions on the most efficient workstyles create renewed CRE challenges Business leaders are mainly focused on three corporate goals over the next five years: growing revenue through expansion and M&A (57%), attracting and retaining talent (53%) and achieving organizational efficiency (54%). However, the juxtaposition that lies between driving revenue growth through top talent and increasing efficiency requires leaders to delicately balance priorities and assess the role of offices as places that enable employees to deliver their best work. Strong momentum toward office-based work since 2022 has brought forth expectations among respondents to increase use of office space (62%), where more than half of leaders plan to grow their total footprint over the next five years. Today, 44% of organizations are considered “office advocates,” who would like to see staff in the office five days a week – as compared to 2022, when just 34% of employees were working in the office full time. Hybrid work is here to stay, but the office is central to work again. Today, 85% of organizations have a policy of at least three days of office attendance per week, and 43% expect the number of in-office days to increase by 2030 Globally, hybrid work is more likely to take place at large organizations in EMEA, where hybrid workstyles are considered a key part of the employee value proposition, and largely in sectors including e-commerce, energy & renewables, technology and life sciences. Office advocates alternatively tend to be small-to-medium sized companies in APAC or the Americas, across sectors such as healthcare, retail and manufacturing. Beyond those big trends, the reality is often more complex, with different workstyles coexisting within many organizations. Today's office advocates also make a concerted effort to address diverse workplace needs – they are more focused on making accessible workplaces (49% vs. 36% of hybrid adopters), tailored to meet the needs of different generations, cultures, and neurodiversity specificities, and may even pay a premium to occupy buildings with leading health and wellbeing credentials. With office attendance may also come new opportunities for compensation and career advancement– more than a third (39%) of respondents could envision introducing different pay and benefits to employees who attend the office regularly. “The future of work looks different across companies and regions, reflecting the unique nature of organizations and employee needs. It keeps shifting and requires building evolutionary office programs and spaces, able to adapt to continuous changes in the workstyles,” said Cynthia Kantor, CEO, Project & Development Services, JLL. “Globally, as CRE budgets and footprints receive new investment, the corporate real estate function must effectively partner with the C-suite to demonstrate the desired value.” The corporate real estate function can serve as a powerful agent of transformation, particularly with the use of technology, AI and the support of strategic partners  The value the corporate real estate function can deliver will vary depending on the needs of the organization and regional priorities. Globally, business leaders believe CRE can add the most value by supporting business growth (41%), enabling organizational efficiency (38%) and reducing operating costs (37%). Environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors are also an area in which the CRE function is expected to add value, especially in EMEA. Organizations in the Americas are more likely to expect CRE to support business growth, innovation and efficiency, while companies in Asia Pacific are more focused on digitization. These varying expectations around value require agility throughout CRE functions, in a context where 41% of CRE decision makers report challenges with thinking and investing for the long term due to the pace of organizational change. The same percentage believe CRE is perceived as a cost center, rather than a value driver. Identifying the right metrics and ways to demonstrate value, in addition to strengthening relationships with the C-suite, will ensure CRE is more integrated into the wider business and positioned to quickly adapt to changing priorities – 46% of CRE leaders say influencing and leadership will be critical skills in the future. Technology is also emerging with greater impacts for CRE, as more decision-makers expect to report to business transformation or technology by 2030. CRE leaders believe that 70% of their activities will be at least partially supported through the use of AI by 2030, and a quarter of the CRE function could be initially completed through automation – freeing up time for more strategic work. Nearly two-thirds (62%) of decision makers see technology and AI adoption as critical for enhancing the value that CRE delivers in the future. A ‘future fit' CRE team should focus on high value-add tasks internally, while automation and AI take on routine and repetitive tasks and outsourcing partners are brought in for specialist tasks and individual projects.

Nick Palucci, Senior Director, Home Equity Finance Acquisition & Distribution, RBC, discusses a recent report indicating home ownership is still a goal for many Canadians despite affordability challenges and inflation. The video interview can be seen here. Nick Palucci PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, April 23, 2024 – Despite affordability challenges and inflation continuing to impact how and when Canadians buy a home, confidence in making the move to purchase a home is rising. According to RBC's 30th annual Home Ownership Poll, conducted among Canadians under the age of 65, 60% believe owning a house or condo is a good investment (up from 53% in 2023) and 29% are looking to buy in the next two years (up from 22% in 2023). Two-thirds (64%) say they have always dreamed of owning a home. At the same time, the research found that half (50%) of Canadians say inflation is eroding their ability to save for a home. This challenge is acutely felt among those planning to purchase a home within the next two years. Among these potential buyers, there has been a 37% decrease in the total amount they have saved to put towards buying a home. Among those who have saved some amount, 36% say they aren't putting aside money every month for a home purchase (up from 8% in 2023). Even with this setback, 41% of overall potential home buyers say it will take them four years or less to save enough for a down payment. “Canadians have a lot of headwinds to face as they look to purchase a home today, whether they are a first-time buyer or searching for their next home,” says Janet Boyle, senior vice president, Home Equity Finance & Newcomer Strategy, RBC. “While affordability anxiety remains, our research found that many home buyers are exploring different approaches to realize their dream of home ownership.” Canadians explore various strategies to cover the cost of home ownership Despite it being harder to save for a home, potential buyers are searching for additional ways to supplement their savings. The majority (57%) say they would need a side hustle or second job and more than a quarter (27%) have had to or would have to live with their parents longer to afford a home. Almost half (45%) also say they would need to overhaul their spending and saving habits to buy a home. Family also continues to play a big role, with 62% saying financial support from family is necessary to buy a home and 19% saying they have or will need to buy a home with their family/parents. But support from family might not always be available with 39% of respondents saying they want to give family members money for housing or rent, yet can't afford to do so. The majority (54%) also say they would prefer to have their child/family live with them to help them save money rather than provide financial support. Mounting costs and inflation putting pressure on next-time home buyers Two-thirds (66%) of next-time home buyers (i.e. those who currently own a home and are likely to buy again in the next two years) are concerned about covering the costs of home ownership. Additionally, half (51%) of next-time home buyers say they are worried about their ability to buy their next home due to inflation. The research also found that three-quarters of next-time home buyers (76%) believe the housing market in their community is overpriced. Two-thirds (64%) say they wouldn't be able to purchase their first home in today's market and the same proportion (64%) believe they would need to move out of the city they are currently living in if they wanted to buy a larger home. Newcomers are eager to buy in the near future Among newcomers who arrived in Canada in the past five years, 73% say they have always dreamed of owning a home and 65% say they are likely to purchase one in the next two years (compared to 29% nationally). The majority also believe there is only a small window of time to take advantage of lower house prices (56%). “Whether it's your first or next home, with so many decisions to make it's easy to feel overwhelmed when thinking about buying a home,” adds Boyle. “Whether in person or online, getting expert advice and having conversations early can help take a lot of the unknowns and stress out of the home buying process. Having a financial expert on your side who has a full picture of your finances can also help you build a home buying plan that aligns with your finances, goals and lifestyle.” RBC resources to help home buyers at every step: RBC True House Affordability Tool: See how much home you may be able to afford and learn about different mortgage options.

While average residential sale prices are likely to increase in the majority markets analyzed, there are a couple of outliers where prices are anticipated to be flat or decline, including Toronto, Hamilton, Burlington, Kitchener-Waterloo, Charlottetown, North Bay and London, it said. The report said 25 per cent of Canadians expressed that saving for a home purchase is one of their top three priorities when it comes to financial savings, despite high cost of living and affordability challenges. In a video interview, Christopher Alexander, President of RE/MAX Canada, talks about the company's latest report – the Fall Housing Market Outlook. The video can be seen here. PRESS RELEASE TORONTO, Sept. 3, 2024 /CNW/ — With the long-anticipated decline in interest rates finally starting to materialize, early indicators from RE/MAX brokers and agents across Canada suggest steady housing market activity this fall. Average sale prices across all housing types are expected to increase between one and six per cent in the majority of regions by year's end, according to RE/MAX's 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook. Ahead of the next Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate announcement on September 4, two in 10 Canadians (16 per cent) said they will feel more comfortable engaging in the real estate market once they see there is more than a 100-basis-point cut to the BoC's lending rate between now and the end of the year, according to a Leger survey commissioned by RE/MAX as part of the report. Chris Alexander “The fall market is usually a good early indicator for activity as we look ahead to early 2025, and we're headed toward more healthy territory. With interest rates starting to ease, buyers are beginning to come off the sidelines,” says Christopher Alexander, President, RE/MAX Canada. “That's not to say the fall market will be in full swing according to historic standards. Consumers will drive that trend, so we'll need to see a bigger move by the Bank of Canada for that to happen.” Consumer Sentiments Going into the Fall Market Ahead of further anticipated interest rate cuts by the Bank of Canada, it seems that even the mere prospect of lower rates has boosted confidence among first-time homebuyers, with one-quarter of Canadians (25 per cent) actively saving for a home purchase and confident they will be able to buy soon (with the majority being younger Millennials and Gen Zs aged 18-24, at 35 per cent). On the flipside, dropping interest rates now may prove too little, too late for some current homeowners, with 14 per cent saying they need to renew their mortgage soon, and with the current higher interest rate, they may need to sell their home. When it comes to financial savings, the Leger survey revealed that while a home purchase is listed among the top three priorities for 25 per cent of Canadians, it has taken a back seat to day-to-day expenses such as utilities and food (58 per cent), and travel (45 per cent). In the search for affordability, one-quarter of Canadians say that they are considering moving to another country (28 per cent) and 25 per cent say they are reconsidering whether to have children or start a family due to housing affordability challenges. “Despite some consumer confidence starting to return to the market this season, the reality is Canadians are still grappling with some serious housing affordability challenges rooted in lack of supply. Yes, borrowing is becoming less expensive, but this won't make housing affordable in the long run,” says Alexander. “Markets ebb and flow, and as buyers re-enter the market and absorb inventory, we'll see more upward pressure on price. “Ultimately, for the long-term health of Canada's housing market, we need a national housing strategy developed in collaboration between all levels of government, that's more strategic and visionary in how we can use existing lands and real estate to boost supply. In the meantime, buyers would be wise to work with an experienced real estate agent to help navigate those cyclical market ups and downs that often accompany this push and pull of supply and demand.” Regional Market Insights As part of the 2024 Fall Housing Market Outlook Report, RE/MAX brokers and agents in Canada were asked to share an analysis of their local market between January and July 2023 and 2024 and share their estimated outlook for fall 2024. The majority of regions (76 per cent) anticipate an increase in sale price between one to six per cent, including Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; Winnipeg, MB; Halifax, NS; St. John's Metro, NL; Truro/Colchester, NS; Fredericton, NB; Timmins, ON; Sudbury, ON; Brampton, ON; Mississauga, ON; Niagara, ON; Ottawa, ON; Durham, ON; Barrie, ON; Muskoka, ON; Peterborough, ON; York Region, ON; Kingston, ON; Windsor, ON, and Thunder Bay, ON. Exceptions to the upward trend include Toronto, ON; Hamilton, ON; Burlington, ON; and Kitchener-Waterloo, ON, where a moderate decline between two and three per cent is expected, and Charlottetown, PEI; North Bay, ON, and London, ON, where prices will likely remain flat. When it comes to listings, a majority of regions surveyed (82 per cent) saw the number of listings increase between 2.3 and 34.7 per cent between January and July (2023 – 2024). The number of sale transactions also increased between 3.1 and 7.4 per cent in Atlantic Canada, 3.4 to 30.9 per cent in Western Canada, and between 0.6 and 14.8 per cent in Ontario, except for some larger Ontario markets like Toronto, Brampton, Durham Region, Mississauga, Peterborough and York Region, where sales trended downward. According to RE/MAX brokers' insights, 33 per cent of housing markets are expected to be seller's markets, but this may shift as competition increases and market conditions evolve. To view the regional data table, click here. Western Canada and Prairies The Prairies continue to skew towards a seller's market (Edmonton, AB; Calgary, AB; Saskatoon, SK) which is consistent with 2023, except for Winnipeg, MB, which is a balanced market. On the other hand, in Western Canada, inclusive of the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC, a mix of balanced and buyer's markets are anticipated. Heading into the fall, prices are forecasted to increase by two to six per cent in regions like the Greater Vancouver Area, BC, and Kelowna, BC; Calgary, AB; Edmonton, AB; Saskatoon, SK; and Winnipeg, MB. Sale transactions are anticipated to increase by five to 15 per cent in the Greater Vancouver Area, BC; Edmonton, AB; and Winnipeg, MB; and a decrease of one per cent in Saskatoon, SK, due to inventory shortages, while Calgary, AB anticipates sales will remain flat. RE/MAX broker feedback in Regina, SK indicates that many factors will dictate how the market pans out for the remainder of the year, including government election cycles, The Bank of Canada interest rate announcements and inventory levels. Historically, Regina, SK sees the markets cool from mid-September through the end of the year. All markets in Western Canada and The Prairies – apart from the Greater Vancouver Area, BC – continue to experience supply challenges, with increased activity in the market, as consumers benefit from recent interest rate cuts. Lower mortgage rates have bolstered consumer confidence in the market but paired with low supply, RE/MAX brokers and agents in the region are reporting aggressive offers in conjunction with sellers raising asking prices for residential homes. Ontario Despite The Bank of Canada's interest rate cuts, low housing supply continues to impact multiple markets across Ontario, keeping prices high. However, some buyers are gaining more confidence as mortgage rates decrease and are slowly re-entering the market heading into fall, keeping prices relatively stable in comparison to the year prior. Housing supply is expected to become a larger issue once further interest rate cuts motivate buyers on the sidelines to re-enter the market and spark more competition. Although some homebuyer confidence is starting to return, buyers in Toronto remain hesitant as affordability continues to be a challenge, especially for first-time homebuyers. Across Ontario, 12 regions are expecting average residential prices to remain flat or increase modestly heading into the fall. Increasing markets include Timmins, Sudbury, Brampton, Mississauga, Thunder Bay, and Barrie (each rising five per cent), Peterborough, York Region and Kingston (rising three per cent), Niagara (up two per cent), Durham Region and Ottawa (up one per cent), and London (rising a nominal 0.5 per cent). The outliers to this upward trend are Toronto, Kitchener-Waterloo, Hamilton, and Burlington, which are expecting a price decrease. In Ontario, seven markets are expected to experience balanced conditions this fall, while four are anticipated to be seller's markets, and five are buyer's markets. Four markets are expecting a mix, with three buyers/balanced conditions, and one sellers/balanced market. Atlantic Canada Echoing similarities to other regions across Canada, Atlantic Canada is also reporting low inventory supply and increased competition when it comes to buyer activity. Buyers are competing aggressively on affordable housing and new listings, causing prices to spike. This is likely a result of current supply challenges and an increase in out-of-town buyers from Western and Central Canada. Unlike in 2023, average residential prices in Atlantic Canada are expected to increase for the remainder of year, by five per cent in Truro and Colchester, NS, one per cent in Halifax, NS, 1.5 per cent in St. John's Metro, NL, and two per cent in Fredericton, NB, while Charlottetown, PEI is anticipated to remain flat. All markets in Atlantic Canada with the exception of Charlottetown – which is a buyer's market – are considered to be seller's markets. Quebec Like other regions across the country, Montreal's housing shortage coupled with interest rates have resulted in a seller's market, with buyers making multiple offers on properties to remain competitive or opting to wait on the sidelines. Pricing and marketing are crucial for sellers looking to attract hesitant buyers. Additional survey findings: Majority of Canadians (77 per cent) believe steps taken by municipal, provincial, and federal governments to improve housing inventory and affordability are not enough to solve our affordability crisis and more needs to be done 60 per cent of Canadians believe building more diverse types of housing are the key to solving Canada's housing supply challenges For 16 per cent of Canadians, rising cost-of-living and affordability challenges have not deterred them at all, and they plan to purchase another home beyond their primary residence soon (or have recently) 40 per cent of Canadians feel Canada is one of the best countries in the world to purchase/invest in real estate (notably this number is higher at 52 per cent, for new Canadians that have been in Canada for less than 5 years) One-third of Canadians (32 per cent) said they are relying on their home as their only financial plan for retirement.

Failles alignées Bookmakers #29 - L'autrice du mois : Nancy Huston.Née en 1953 à Calgary (Canada), Nancy Huston est l'autrice de plus de 70 livres depuis 1979, publiés pour la plupart aux éditions Actes Sud. Parmi son flot de romans, essais, poèmes, pièces de théâtre, scénarios, chansons et traductions, citons « Journal de la création » (1990, captivante étude de couples d'écrivain·e·s), « Instruments des ténèbres » (1996, Goncourt des lycéens et du prix du Livre Inter, vendu à 130 000 exemplaires), « Lignes de faille » (2006, prix Femina, écoulé à 400 000 exemplaires rien qu'en France et traduit en quarante-cinq langues) ou « Bad Girl » (2014, formidable « autobiographie intra-utérine » qui éclaire toute son œuvre). Depuis 1973, elle vit et travaille à Paris. Nancy Huston (1/3)C'est une Calamity Jane du Canada qui s'installe presque sans un sou à Paris, à 20 ans, avec le besoin « de comprendre, de réparer, de lever l'interdit de la discrétion et de la politesse », en faisant « l'éloge de tout ce qui déstabilise ». Pour ce trentième numéro de « Bookmakers », place à Nancy Huston, cowgirl bilingue « sauvagement honnête » venue des plaines de l'Alberta, « à l'aise dans ses santiags » et pourtant allergique aux chevaux. Féministe historique, elle a « toujours vécu frénétiquement, avec son carnet à la main, des horaires de travail extrêmement stricts et un patron intérieur incroyablement sévère ». Dans ce premier épisode, elle revient sur l'événement de son enfance qui l'a « ébréchée » au point d'écrire si souvent des histoires de familles déboussolées, meurtries, recomposées. Sur son personnage-totem : Alice au pays des merveilles. Sur les leçons du redouté Roland Barthes, sous la direction duquel elle écrivit un mémoire sur les insultes. Ou sur les revues « Sorcières » et « Histoires d'elles », dans lesquelles elle publia ses premiers textes, qui « fourmillaient de calembours ».  Enregistrement : mars 2024 - Entretien, découpage : Richard Gaitet - Prise de son : Mathilde Guermonprez - Montage : Juliette Cordemans - Réalisation, mixage : Charlie Marcelet - Musiques originales : Samuel Hirsch - Clavecin : Thomas Loupias - Illustration : Sylvain Cabot - Remerciements : Emma Bouvier, Victoire Tuaillon - Production : ARTE Radio - Samuel Hirsch

Branchée sur 100 000 virevoltes Bookmakers #29 - L'autrice du mois : Nancy HustonNée en 1953 à Calgary (Canada), Nancy Huston est l'autrice de plus de 70 livres depuis 1979, publiés pour la plupart aux éditions Actes Sud. Parmi son flot de romans, essais, poèmes, pièces de théâtre, scénarios, chansons et traductions, citons « Journal de la création » (1990, captivante étude de couples d'écrivain·e·s), « Instruments des ténèbres » (1996, Goncourt des lycéens et du prix du Livre Inter, vendu à 130 000 exemplaires), « Lignes de faille » (2006, prix Femina, écoulé à 400 000 exemplaires rien qu'en France et traduit en quarante-cinq langues) ou « Bad Girl » (2014, formidable « autobiographie intra-utérine » qui éclaire toute son œuvre). Depuis 1973, elle vit et travaille à Paris. Nancy Huston (3/3)Pendant vingt ans, Nancy Huston a écrit tous ses textes en français, sa langue d'adoption. Puis – à partir de « Cantique des plaines » (1993), l'intrépide Canadienne s'est remise à écrire directement dans sa langue maternelle, l'anglais, avant… de traduire elle-même en français le roman du moment, avec de très nombreux allers-retours entre les deux versions. Au final, seule la version française parvient à ses éditeurs et éditrices. C'est « deux fois plus de boulot », mais les problèmes rencontrés dans une langue solutionnent ceux rencontrés dans l'autre. « Être dedans-dehors, dit-elle, c'est la position idéale. Si on se confond trop avec sa culture, on ne peut pas se mettre à distance pour l'analyser. » Une tournure d'esprit qu'elle partage avec l'Irlandais Samuel Beckett, désigné comme son « frère » et son « pied » dans un curieux livre hommage, « Limbes / Limbo ». Il sera aussi question d'un autre exilé grandiose, l'auteur de « La Promesse de l'aube », à propos duquel Nancy imagina le très précis « Tombeau de Romain Gary », qui lui montra qu'il fallait « non pas laisser derrière soi deux ou trois livres, mais toute une étagère ». Dans ce troisième et dernier épisode, l'autrice de « La Virevolte » raconte également sa routine quotidienne. « Être seule du matin au soir, ne vivre qu'avec des personnes imaginaires, vous trouvez cela normal ? Les gens normaux vivent dans un monde à trois dimensions. Moi, j'en ai une quatrième. Avec une autre circulation des significations. Si je n'ai pas ma dose de solitude dans la journée, je deviens très malheureuse et méchante. »  Enregistrement : mars 2024 - Entretien, découpage : Richard Gaitet - Prise de son : Mathilde Guermonprez - Montage : Juliette Cordemans - Réalisation, mixage : Charlie Marcelet - Musiques originales : Samuel Hirsch - Clavecin : Thomas Loupias - Illustration : Sylvain Cabot - Remerciements : Emma Bouvier, Victoire Tuaillon - Production : ARTE Radio - Samuel Hirsch
