Chris Chopite on Canada’s Housing Crisis Is Bigger Than Ownership | with Jessica Barrett

Описание: What if Canada’s housing crisis is about more than just high prices?

In this episode of True Patriot Love, housing and real estate expert Chris Chopite speaks with author and journalist Jessica Barrett about her new book, No Place Like Home, and the deeper meaning of housing, belonging, stability, and community in Canada.

Jessica shares her personal journey from Alberta to Vancouver and then Calgary, explaining how rising housing costs, instability, and redevelopment pressure shaped her understanding of what “home” really means. Together, Chris and Jessica explore why housing in Canada has become so heavily tied to ownership, wealth creation, and speculation — and what that has cost us as a society.

This conversation dives into:

Why housing is not the same as home

Whether home must mean ownership

How Canada’s housing system was built to protect the real estate economy

Why countries like Austria and Germany approach housing differently

The role of co-ops, nonprofit housing, and community-led housing

Why renters and homeowners alike are feeling disconnected

What real housing reform in Canada could actually look like

Jessica also explains why solving the housing crisis means rethinking more than affordability alone — it means rebuilding communities, creating long-term stability, and making room for people to truly belong.

If you care about housing, affordability, real estate, community, and the future of Canada, this is a conversation you need to hear.
