Podcasts about premier david eby

This week, the podcast starts with news on the West Coast oil pipeline. On July 2, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Alberta Premier Danielle Smith announced that a pipeline project exceeding 1 MMB/d was ready to be submitted to the Major Projects Office. Earlier that same day, PM Carney and B.C. Premier David Eby announced a Canada–B.C. Cooperative Prosperity Agreement, and, as part of the broader economic agreement, B.C. would not oppose a southern marine terminal for the oil pipeline. On July 6, there was more pipeline news, with Ontario Premier Doug Ford and Premier Smith announcing an early-stage feasibility study for a pipeline connecting Alberta to Ontario's refining region in Sarnia.  Peter and Jackie then welcomed Michele Harradence, Enbridge's Executive Vice President and President, Gas Distribution and Storage, and the new Chair of the Board of the Canadian Gas Association (CGA), to the podcast. Peter and Jackie asked Michele about municipal bans on natural gas, the role of natural gas in cold-climate reliability, and natural gas's GHG emissions. They also discussed the outlook for North American natural gas demand growth, including demand from AI data centres, and whether supply can keep pace. Finally, they compared the regulatory process for major projects in Canada with that in the United States. Content referenced in this podcast: Canada and British Columbia's new cooperative prosperity partnership (July 2, 2026) Canada and Alberta advance west coast pipeline project proposal and Pathways Project Carbon Capture Initiative (July 2, 2026) Prime Minister Mark Carney forward guidance video on Canada's energy future (June 30, 2026) ARC Energy Ideas heat pump podcast “Decarbonizing heat: Are air-source heat pumps the solution for Canada?

Vancouver's housing market just delivered one of its strongest signals in nearly two years, but beneath the improving sales numbers, serious cracks remain across Canada's real estate and development landscape.June home sales across Greater Vancouver reached 2,383 transactions, jumping 11% from May and 9.6% year-over-year. That marks the highest monthly sales volume since October 2024, a 20-month high. Yet context matters. Despite the rebound, this was still the third-slowest June in 26 years and sales remained 12.4% below the 10-year average.The bigger story may be what is happening with supply. New listings declined for a second consecutive month, while total inventory fell 3.6% from May, the first monthly decline in six months, and is now 11% lower than a year ago. After three years of rising inventory, the market may have reached peak supply in 2025. The sales-to-active listings ratio climbed to 14.8%, with improvement across detached homes, townhouses and apartments.Prices are also showing surprising resilience. The benchmark HPI slipped just 0.1% in June to $1,099,100 and is only $2,800 below January. After 12 months of declines, Vancouver has now recorded roughly five months of price stability. The median price held at $975,000, just 2.5% below its all-time high, while the average price rose for a third consecutive month to $1.247 million.But stability in the resale market stands in sharp contrast to mounting pressure in the development industry.British Columbia's controversial condo conversion initiative, widely dubbed the “condo bailout”, is facing growing political scrutiny. New reporting indicates Premier David Eby was briefed for a planned meeting with prominent Vancouver condo marketer Bob Rennie during the same period Rennie hosted a fundraiser for Prime Minister Mark Carney attended by major developers. Four months later, governments announced a multi-billion-dollar initiative aimed at purchasing more than 2,200 unsold condos and converting them into affordable housing.The released documents do not establish what was discussed, or whether the planned meeting occurred, but Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre is now calling for an ethics investigation. The controversy is raising larger questions about which projects could qualify, which developers may benefit, who makes those decisions, and how much of the intervention ultimately protects lenders exposed to distressed projects.Meanwhile, another developer has entered creditor protection. Mortise Group's 93-unit Nova project near the future Bakerview, 166 Street SkyTrain Station ran into trouble despite nearly two-thirds of the homes being pre-sold. Construction delays, rising costs, expired purchaser timelines and a nearly $48-million construction facility helped push the project into restructuring.In downtown Vancouver, Bonnis Properties has now listed its landmark Granville Street redevelopment site after receiving rezoning approval only months ago. The ambitious proposal envisioned more than 520 rental homes, hotel and retail space, while preserving the Commodore Ballroom and heritage buildings. With the properties assessed at roughly $151 million, the decision to sell underscores a harsh reality: even approved projects can become economically unfeasible when construction costs, financing and market conditions move against them.There are brighter signals in the broader economy. Canada's GDP grew 0.5% in April, its strongest monthly expansion since July 2025, with 14 of 20 major industries advancing. Construction posted its first increase in five months, while real estate agents and brokers recorded their first monthly growth since August 2025.Financial stress, however, remains elevated. Canada's mortgage arrears rate held at 0.28%, with 13,752 mortgages currently in arrears. British Columbia remained at 0.25% and Ontario at 0.31%. At the same time, the share of Canadians behind on at least one credit product rose to 2.17% in Q1, the highest level in more than a decade.Foreclosure inventory across the market now totals 555 properties, down 9 from the previous count but dramatically higher than the 230 recorded in October 2024. The decline may represent an early sign of stabilization, but distress remains far above recent levels.The picture heading into the second half of 2026 is increasingly complex: Vancouver sales are improving, inventory is declining, prices have stabilized, and the economy is regaining some momentum. Yet developer insolvencies, elevated arrears, weak job vacancies and rising foreclosure levels continue to expose serious vulnerabilities.The market is no longer simply falling. It may be entering something far more complicated, a period of stabilization where opportunity and financial stress exist at the same time._________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:
