Ken Coates, director of the Macdonald-Laurier Institute's Indigenous Affairs Program, is joined by journalist and economist Edgardo Sepulveda, an expert data storyteller. Sepulveda's new study for MLI analyzed data for church arsons in Canada and around the world. He found that following reports in 2021 of unmarked graves at residential schools, Canada saw a spike in church arsons compared to other Anglosphere countries, suggesting a correlation to news of the unmarked graves. He says the lack of serious policy response puts reconciliation at risk. Please like, share, and subscribe to Inside Policy Talks for thought-provoking analysis on the key issues facing Canada!

In the wake of President Trump's executive order on DEI, debates in America have renewed a conversation around DEI in this country. And while the baseline value of greater inclusion is one that many of us share, some DEI programs have proven controversial. Our guest on this bonus episode is the author of a recent report that dives into DEI practices in Canadian federal granting agencies — and asks if they impede political and ideological neutrality and research excellence. Dave Snow is an associate professor of political science at the University of Guelph. He's also a senior fellow at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, and the author of a new MLI report, “Promoting excellence … or activism? Equity, diversity, and inclusion at Canada's federal granting agencies.” You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

We have my old friend Ming Lim of Volition Properties, Toronto Realtor and investor extraordinaire and the name volition is about living your life on your own volition thanks to financial peace from a great real estate portfolio.  The nice thing about investing in Toronto is one can't really beat the number of high quality tenants to choose from.  In my experience, the ideal tenant is gainfully employed and optimistic about the future as their credit history is valuable to them as they want to be able to get car loans and mortgages hence they can both afford the rent AND be motivated to be a quality tenant. But Toronto is a top two least affordable city in Canada and one of the least affordable in the world so unless you have deep pockets for negative cash flow condos, you're going to have to adopt an investment model of intensification and densification and that's exactly why we have Ming Lim on as today's guest. Ming and I go back over ten years, he's an engineer by training so he's a bright guy, he doesn't hide truths hence Ming share's how some Toronto investors are faring holding pre-condo construction condos, very sad stuff. On the positive, Ming shares how CMHC's MLI select program (read cheap, 50 year amortization financing) can be used to optimally invest and develop into multifamily properties in and around downtown Toronto. For all you Toronto investors, you've asked “when will Erwin be downtown to meetup?” well Ming has invited me to speak at his meetup.    https://www.meetup.com/volition/events/297931009/ Tuesday, May 28, 6:00-9:00 pm The Kingston House (676 Kingston Rd, Toronto), google maps: https://maps.app.goo.gl/VKQLkSEc5cVxoa9j8 4.6/5 Google reviews   I'll be sharing my journey of being a landlord in Ontario for the last 20 years and how I've started selling properties here to diversify to the landlord friendly areas of the USA.

Elizabeth Shick graduated summa cum laude from the University of Georgia with a degree in Scientific Illustration, then went on to study Medical Illustration at the Medical College of Georgia. She was the senior medical illustrator at MLI before opening her own company, Medical Visions, Inc., in 1991. She is one of the top medical legal illustrators in the country with extensive experience, personally producing over 15,000 exhibits. "You can't just have a degree in art to be a medical illustrator. You have to have half art and half science. And that's difficult because a lot of artists don't like math or science. We don't like the technical aspect of things. And a lot of scientists have problems with visual communication. So we're kind of a rare breed because we've got to be good at both."Elizabeth's motto is: “Do what you love and delegate everything else.”  

Axel shares a FULL breakdown of all the documents required to be able to apply for CMHC's MLI funding and explains in detail what each one is for. They fall into 4 categories: project information, third party reports, borrower information and guarantor information.   Additionally he talks about the importance of a guarantor's brief summary, why and how you should be organized when sending the docs and the importance of real estate education.    The CMHC MLI program offers scaling flexibility to encourage the preservation and creation of affordable, accessible and climate compatible units. It focuses on providing term financing to apartments and multifamily buildings in Canada and facilitating construction.    You can go up to a 95% LTV (loan to value) on your construction project and can benefit from an extended amortization as long as you meet certain requirements that fall into the categories of accessibility, affordability and energy efficiency. This program has a point-based system; in each category you score a certain amount of points and depending on the total amount of points you qualify for certain criterias and features of the program.   Dive in!
