We break down the numbers behind Canada's housing crisis and reveal how 13% of the country's GDP comes from real estate - more than the entire manufacturing sector. From the post-2008 decisions that inflated the bubble to the productivity crisis nobody talks about, this video explains why Canadian house prices tripled in 20 years and what happens when an economy is built on asset inflation instead of real value creation.

Topics covered:

Why Canadian housing is unaffordable

This isn't just about expensive houses. It's about what happens when a wealthy nation mistakes asset price inflation for economic growth, and why Canada's economic future depends on solving a problem that benefits too many people to change easily.

If you're wondering why housing is unaffordable, why wages feel stagnant, or how Canada's economy actually works, this video breaks down the uncomfortable truth about modern Canadian economics.
