In 2018, Doug Ford promised to end overcrowding in hospitals so that patients aren't relegated to hallways and other unconventional areas. Each party leader during this election has pledged considerable health care spending. Including more primary care doctors, and additional beds. But there may not be a one-size-fits-all solution. So, how does a new government tackle this complex issue that's been decades in the making? For insight, we welcome: Dr. Samir Sinha, director of health policy research at the National Institute on Ageing; Joanna Frketich, health reporter for the Hamilton Spectator; Rosalie Wynoch, associate director of research at the C.D. Howe Institute; Natalie Mehra, executive director of the Ontario Health Coalition; and Paul Woods, CEO of Southlake Health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The financial trouble the Trudeau Liberals have put Canada in looks disturbingly unlike previous debt and deficit hangovers, as William Robson tells Brian Lilley this week. The losses Ottawa has pushed onto the Bank of Canada are choking off desperately needed income, explains Robson, president and CEO of the C.D. Howe Institute. Wages are losing ground. Business investment indicators are the worst since the 1940s. Unfunded pensions are soaring. Federal spending keeps rising. And the government continues adding enormous immigration inflows to a strained economy. Canada, Robson says, is “going down a very strange path” — and Ottawa seems not to care.

High cost of regulation makes housing in Canada unaffordable Hardly anyone disagrees that housing prices and rents have been unaffordable in Canada for decades, but there's agreement about why housing prices have moved out of step with incomes. A recent report by think-tank C.D. Howe Institute analyzed housing prices and construction costs and concluded that excessive regulatory burden contributes to prices being much higher than the cost of producing new dwellings. The gap should not exist or be small in competitive markets with little or no undue regulatory burdens, but that's not the case in Canada. The report estimated that... View Article

Monetary policy is not done. That is the key takeaway from the April 12th Bank of Canada press conference following their decision to hold its key interest rate at 4.5%. This is the second consecutive pause for the Bank of Canada, and if you're in the camp that's hoping for, or projecting a rate cut later this year, Governor Tiff Macklem swiftly squashed that idea saying, that it “doesn't look like the most likely scenario.” Joining us today to unpack what the latest Bank of Canada decision means for growth, housing, and the real economy is renowned economist Don Drummond. Don has held several senior roles at the Federal Department of Finance where he was responsible for economic analysis, fiscal and tax policies. He later served as Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at TD Bank, and is currently Fellow-in-Residence at the C.D. Howe Institute. Don speaks with host Pamela Ritchie today, and he is not surprised by the Bank of Canada's decision, since they're far from getting inflation down to 2%. However, he says “pleasantly surprised” they communicated that further hikes are a possibility in the future, and put an end to the speculation that cuts could be coming in 2023. We also hear today from Don that globalisation, including companies lowering costs by moving production overseas, allowed us to keep inflation low with strong growth in the past, but a lot of that has run its course for the moment. Don believes 1.5-1.7% is a reasonable sustainable long-term growth rate. Recorded on April 13, 2023.

The Bank of Canada has raised their benchmark interest rate by a quarter of a percentage point to 4.5% - the highest it's been since 2007. This is the eighth consecutive interest rate hike for the Bank of Canada, but Governor Tiff Macklem signalled that it might be the last hike of the cycle. One of the most significant announcements by the Bank of Canada in their policy report is that they are confident in bringing inflation down to the target of 2% by 2024. We're joined today by renowned economist Don Drummond to unpack if this timeline is advantageous. Also, to see what this 25-basis point rate hike means for housing, markets, consumer spending and the real economy. Don has held several senior roles at the Federal Department of Finance, including Associate Deputy Minister, where he was responsible for economic analysis, fiscal and tax policies. He later served as Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at TD Bank and is currently Fellow-in-Residence at the C.D. Howe Institute. One key takeaway today that Don shares with host Pamela Ritchie are that inflation has peaked and should continue dropping under 6% year-over-year as we get into this spring. Stay tuned for all of this and more. Recorded on January 26, 2023.

We're pleased to welcome a special guest on today's podcast - renowned economist Don Drummond, to discuss the health of Canada's economy. Don has held several senior roles at the Federal Department of Finance, including Associate Deputy Minister, where he was responsible for economic analysis, and fiscal and tax policies. Don later served as Senior Vice President and Chief Economist at TD Bank, and he is currently Chair of the Canadian Centre for the Study of Living Standards; Fellow-in-Residence at the C.D. Howe Institute and a member of the Expert Advisory Group to the Canadian Institute for Climate Choices. As the Canadian economy has changed rapidly over the last few years, investors continue to grapple with how to navigate its volatile landscape. With Canada's annual inflation rate sitting at 7%, pushing food and gas prices higher, how can policymakers slow inflation and grow Canada's economy? We pose these questions and more to Don today, with Don sharing his unique perspectives with host Pamela Ritchie. Recorded on October 5, 2022.
