The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Radley: Hamilton's light rail transit project needs more land — extra slivers from at least 122 properties — to make room for “public realm” improvements. Are the Blue Jays okay…? What does the death of Iranian president Ebrahim Raisi, known to many as “The Butcher of Tehran,” mean for the Middle East at this point in history? Federal Information Commissioner Caroline Maynard says the Trudeau government has cut her budget by 5 per cent, a move that will make it even more difficult to press Ottawa for information that Canadians request or to take the government to court. One-third of Canada's debt will be refinanced this year at elevated interest rates, a significant cost to taxpayers that Conservatives argue could have been avoided if the government had issued more of the country's debt in the form of long-term bonds when rates were lower. New home construction in Ontario has slowed to a pace not seen since 2018, putting Premier Doug Ford's government further off track from hitting its housing targets.

In today's episode, John talks to Murtaza Haider about rent controls in Canada and their potential impact on rental supply. Murtaza is a professor of Data Science and Real Estate Management at Toronto Metropolitan University.   In the lively chat, we discuss why Ontario has seen very little growth in rental housing even though the new rental supply is not rent controlled. We also discuss the differences in approach to rental housing between North American and European economists and governments. North Americans lean more towards a free market approach to rental housing, while Europeans have coupled adequate rental supply while maintaining policies that protect tenants.    Today's show links:  Watch this episode on our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/movesmartly Ricardo Tranjan in the Toronto Star: https://www.thestar.com/opinion/contributors/rent-controls-work-they-don-t-reduce-housing-supply-but-they-do-limit-profit/article_77ca720a-dfd5-11ee-982b-3ba3433ea220.html Murtaza Haider in the Financial Post: https://financialpost.com/real-estate/rent-controls-hurt-rental-supply Rent Controls, Rental Prices and Rental Supply - CMHC Summary https://tinyurl.com/2efscwuw Study of the Impacts of Rent Control Policies - CMHC Report https://tinyurl.com/458svhzj Follow Murtaza Haider on Twitter: @regionomics   Contact Us John Pasalis, President and Broker, Realosophy Realty, Toronto | Email: askjohn@movesmartly.com | Twitter: @JohnPasalis Urmi Desai, Editor/Host, Move Smartly | Email: editor@movesmartly.com | X-Twitter: @MoveSmartly About This Show The Move Smartly show is co-hosted by Urmi Desai, Editor of Move Smartly, and John Pasalis, President and Broker of Realosophy Realty.

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: The Importance of radio news has been highlighted by the wildfires during the Meta news block. It's the time of year for the Burlington Ribfest!! That is to say, Canada's Largest Ribfest begins today! Canadian Conservative Member of Parliament Michael Chong, who was earlier in the year a subject of China's pressure campaigns, will speak to the United States' Congressional-Executive Commission on China. The New StatCan report say that Canada's economy stalled in this year's second quarter. Michael Chong is set to talk with the U.S. Congressional-Executive Commission on China. The fact that the U.S. is taking these steps is likely to irk Xi Jinping's government, and to see Canada combined is certainly eyebrow-raising: what sort of reaction can we expect to come out of this? As the conversation around the Greenbelt continues, and rightfully raises eyebrows in some cases, we can't lose sight of the fact that we still are in a housing crisis and need to be able to build our way out of it. With some rough poll numbers in the news, multiple crises and unresolved issues, as well as the associated grumblings from (anonymous) Liberal MP's all in mind… we ask, could the Liberal party soon send someone to try to convince Justin Trudeau to step aside?

The Hamilton Today Podcast with Scott Thompson: When Jen Schuringa starts pedaling her recumbent bike along the Camino de Santiago in northern Spain this September, her route will become part of a 10-year journey of perseverance since suffering a traumatic brain injury in 2013 when her car lost control and she hit a tree head on. Athletes, as well as some celebrities, will no longer be allowed to appear in commercials promoting online gambling in Ontario. We get the latest developments on the Greenbelt story, which includes new of developers looking to sell land rather than develop it. Understandably, Premier Ford is not happy. A new federal report predicts Russian intelligence services and police will help cybercriminals operate with “near impunity” against their targets — including Canadians — in the coming months. The high gas prices may be in for a break tomorrow – and we are getting some relief this week as well – but the tumultuous pumps are still an ongoing reminder of troubles with how we handle our energy sector.

One way to cut housing costs is for multiple generations of a family to live together: often children, their parents and their grandparents. The concept isn't new and it has many benefits, including affordability in expensive housing markets. But how do you make it work both financially and personally? We hear from a family that moved three generations into a home they designed and built in North Bay, Ont. Plus, Rob talks to Murtaza Haider, a professor of real estate management at Ryerson University, and real estate consultant Stephen Moranis about what multigenerational housing looks like in Canada.
