Tonight on the Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Richard Lyall, President of RESCON, the Residential Construction Council of Ontario, about our Housing Crisis in the GTA and across Canada. Brian closes with his ten point plan to solve our housing crisis. Richard Lyle discusses the current housing situation in Canada, describing it as a crisis and even a catastrophe in some areas. He emphasizes that it's not just a housing crisis but also a growth management crisis, particularly in Ontario. Richard covers the significant decline in GTA new home and condo sales, noting a 90% drop to 345 units in May, down from a typical 2,700 units monthly average. Despite ongoing construction activity, Richard highlights that the market has reached a critical point where new projects are not being announced, indicating a long-term decline in the industry.Richard expresses concern over high unemployment rates predicting potential layoffs of 200,000 to 300,000 people in Ontario's new home and condo building sector, which could lead to a 1.5 to 2.5% GDP hit. Richard discusses the housing affordability crisis, highlighting that housing costs to income ratios remain unacceptably high, with numbers as high as 14:1 in some areas, compared to the ideal ratio of 3.5-4:1. He attributes the high costs to a combination of factors including excessive taxes, development fees, and regulations, noting that while some costs are beyond government control, others can be addressed through policy changes.Additionally, he expresses concerns about the need for urgent action this fall to address the decline in housing projects and potential layoffs in the construction industry. He emphasizes the importance of preventing Toronto from becoming unaffordable and unattractive for growth. Richard suggests removing sales taxes on new housing, reducing land transfer taxes and development charges, streamlining the planning and zoning process, and standardizing rules across the province.

In this week's Vancouver real estate update, we dive into the latest data and indicators painting a complex picture of the market. We start with the Housing Affordability Index, a measure of median household income against mortgage payments, taxes, and utilities. According to this index, Canadian homes have never actually been considered affordable—not once in the last 40 years. The most affordable period came in the late 1990s, when the metric dipped to 34%, just shy of the “ideal” target of 33%. Today, affordability sits at 55%. While that's a meaningful improvement from the record high of 63.5% in Q4 2023, it still remains well above the threshold of sustainable home ownership.Interestingly, Canadian affordability is now at the same level it was in 1990—just before a decade-long improvement in affordability followed. Whether or not that trend repeats remains to be seen. RBC's latest forecast doesn't think so. They project affordability will bottom later this year around 52%, then begin worsening again in 2026.On the inflation front, May CPI came in at 1.7%, unchanged from April. This marks the 18th consecutive month within the Bank of Canada's 1–3% target range. Core inflation registered at 2.9%, the upper end of the band but still acceptable. Mortgage interest costs remain a key driver, adding 0.4% to the CPI. It's important to note that most other countries exclude mortgage interest from their inflation basket. Without it, Canada's inflation would have been closer to 1.3%. Rented accommodations contributed 0.3%, but StatsCan's data appears to lag. While they report rents up 4.3% annually, Rentals.ca shows a 3.3% decline in the last year. Turning to interest rate expectations: markets are only pricing in a 30% chance of a rate cut at the July 30th Bank of Canada meeting. And as of now, there is just one more rate cut expected for the remainder of 2025. That outlook has cooled considerably, given earlier projections of more aggressive easing.Now to the July 2025 housing stats. Total home sales in Greater Vancouver hit 2,186 units in June, down 9.5% from last year and a staggering 26% below the 10-year average. It was the second slowest June on record—worse than the Global Financial Crisis and COVID shutdowns. This follows what was already the slowest May on record. The spring market never materialized, and current indicators suggest a muted summer and fall ahead.New listings reached 6,301 in June, up 10% year-over-year but down 5% from May. Inventory sits at 16,852 active listings, down 1% month-over-month but still 19% higher than a year ago and 44% above the 10-year average. At the time of reporting, inventory has climbed to over 18,200 active listings. The Sales-to-Active-Listings ratio remains at 13%—signaling a balanced market—for the 13th straight month. Detached homes are at 10%, townhomes at 17%, and condos at 14%.Prices continue to slide. The Home Price Index (HPI) dropped for the third straight month in 2025, down 0.3% month-over-month to $1,173,100. That puts prices 2.8% lower than one year ago. The median price stayed flat at $985,000, but remains up $70,000 year-to-date. The average price rose $9,000 to $1,275,000, its highest point in 2025, and up $68,000 YTD.The Vancouver housing market remains stable but sluggish and perhaps increasingly so. Affordability is slowly improving but remains historically poor _________________________________ Contact Us To Book Your Private Consultation:

Tonight on The Brian Crombie Hour, Brian interviews Don Wright. Don is a senior fellow at the C.D. Howe Institute and senior counsel at Global Public Affairs. He previously served as deputy minister to B.C.'s premier, cabinet secretary and head of the public service. Don talks about his article: "The Canadian Promise is Broken.” He writes: “Canada's performance in terms of generating steady, year-over-year increases in real wages fell off dramatically after the late 1970s, how housing has become essentially unaffordable for most younger Canadians, and how this has led to a high degree of pessimism about the prospects for the next generation.”

Welcome back to another Future-Focused Weekly Update where hopefully I'm helping you stay 10 steps ahead of the chaos at the intersection of business, tech, and the human experience. This week's update is loaded as usual and includes everything from disturbing new research about AI's inner workings to a college affordability crisis that's hitting even six-figure families, a stalled job market that has job seekers stuck for months, and Google doubling down on a questionable return-to-office push. With that, let's get into it.⸻AI Deception Confirmed by New Anthropic Research:Recent research from Anthropic reveals that AI's chain-of-thought (CoT) reasoning, the explanation behind its decisions, is inaccurate more than 80% of the time. That's right, 80%. However, it doesn't stop there. It finds 99% of shortcuts or hacks to achieve its goal. However, it only tells you when it did less than 2% of the time. I break down what this means for explainable AI, human-in-the-loop models, and why some of the most common AI training methods are actually making things worse.⸻College Now Unaffordable — Even for $300K FamiliesA viral survey is making waves with some pretty jaw-dropping claim. Apparently even families earning $300,000 a year can't afford top colleges. Now, that's bad, and there's no denying college costs are soaring, but there's more to it than meets the eye. I unpack what's really going on behind the headline, why financial aid rules haven't kept up, and how this affects not just elite schools but the entire higher education landscape. I also share some personal stories and practical alternatives.⸻Job Market Slows: 6+ Month Average Search TimeOut of work and struggling to find anything? You're not alone, and you're not crazy. New LinkedIn data shows over 50% of job seekers are taking more than six months to land a new role. I dig into why it's happening, what industries are still hiring, and how to reposition your skills to stay employable. Whether you're searching or simply staying prepared in case you find yourself in a search, my goal is to help you think differently about the environment and opportunity that exists.⸻Google Pushes RTO — 60 Hours in Office?I honestly can't believe this is still a thing, especially from a tech company. However, Google made headlines again with a recent and aggressive return-to-office policy, claiming “optimal performance” requires 60 in-office hours per week. I break down the questionable logic behind the claim, the anxiety driving these decisions, and what it means for the future of hybrid work. While there's lots of noise about “the truth” behind it, this isn't just about real estate or productivity, it's about misdirected executive anxiety.⸻If this resonated with you or gave you something to think about, drop a comment, share with a friend, and be sure to subscribe so you don't miss what's next.Show Notes:In this weekly update, host Christopher Lind navigates the intersection of business, tech, and human experience. Key topics include the emerging trend of companies adopting AI-first strategies, a detailed analysis of Anthropic's recent AI research, and its implications for explainable AI. Christopher also discusses the rising costs of higher education and offers practical advice for navigating college affordability amidst financial aid constraints. Furthermore, he provides a snapshot of the current job market, highlighting industries with better hiring prospects and strategies for job seekers. Lastly, the episode addresses Google's recent push for in-office work and the underlying motivations behind such corporate decisions.00:00 - Introduction 01:10 - AI Trends in Business: Shopify and Duolingo03:31 - Anthropic Research On AI Deception23:29 - College Affordability Crisis34:48 - LinkedIn Job Market Data43:47 - Google RTO Debate49:36 - Concluding Thoughts and Advice#FutureOfWork #AIethics #HigherEdCrisis #JobSearchTips #LeadershipInsights

Hundreds of thousands of Canadians exist on the edge. Renters fear eviction, homeowners feel trapped, and both are vulnerable to becoming homeless with a single stroke of misfortune. Unaffordable housing in Canada is tearing communities apart as long-time residents seek affordable housing elsewhere and businesses shutter because they cannot find staff who can afford to live nearby. For two generations, Canadians have watched affordable housing vanish while other nations have been tackling the problem. In Home Truths: Fixing Canada's Housing Crisis (On Point Press, 2024), housing expert Carolyn Whitzman reviews the decades of policy that have gotten us into this mess and shows how all levels of government can work together to provide affordable housing where it is needed. Her compelling arguments for policy solutions are backed by ideas from researchers, planners, politicians, developers, and housing advocates at home and abroad. Home Truths addresses Canada's crisis from all sides, including exploring what adequate housing looks like, providing ideas on how to resolve homelessness, explaining why nonmarket housing is crucial for Canada, and showing how and why to tackle ever-growing wealth disparities between renters and those who own. From policymakers, planners, developers, and observers needing to understand Canada's housing struggles through to Canadians seeking ideas for a new way forward, Home Truths is a critical read for a nation on edge. Carolyn Whitzman is a leading housing and senior policy researcher. She has authored, coauthored, or lead-edited six previous books, the most recent being Clara at the Door with a Revolver. She has undertaken research for the Office of the Federal Housing Advocate, the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation, the Alliance to End Homelessness Ottawa, and many other organizations.
