I have had two conversations with CRA this year asking for clarification on some things and was told they could not tell me what what to do because "we have a self electing tax system" and I should consult the guide, then offered to email a link to the guide. Absolutely useless! They do not have a problem telling you when you have done something wrong. Why is it so hard for them to tell you how to do it right? 3300 pages, we need some tax reform.
We have too many useless DEI CRA agents that can only you to their website. You can hear background noises you know they working from home. Get high pay and pension.
It’s good that Vancouver developers are now forced to cater more to the local market . Rather than trying to sell luxury units to foreign buyers for $2500 per sq ft.
I disagree Rich, the police and hospitals are required and cannot really be replaced by a private entity. Canada Post, however, can be replaced by a private sector enterprise.
How come nobody is highlighting Gov't finance(taxpayers) buying $30 Billion worth of Big Bank already CMHC insured(taxpayers) Mortgage Backed Securities back in March forming a good portion of this years Federal Deficit (the Fiscal update now delayed being presented to Parliament).... this $30 Billion of Gov't money obviously being reflected in Bank earnings ?

Meaning at an even 3% immediate BoC rate assumption and current variable rate spreads(FORGET any fixed rate).... a maximum $5-$6/sq ft is about all that is viable within GTA median income servicing potential ? You can't 'push on a string'.... these condo projects are not viable devoid of the low-rate fueled speculative sentiment false demand/elevated price discovery they were initially financed under = receiverships/onsolvent !
The problem is developers overbullilt the wrong product tiny units like in manhattan and hk. The condo crash is just starting, bottom 5 years out regardless of rates
Very good discussion on precons. I was in Tokyo in 1990. My oh my does this sound familiar. 30yrs later and decades of drip, drip, drip in real estate. The burnt out carcasses in Tokyo investment community really looks like this country.
They don't get it and as real estate professionals they really should. The "condo investors" are not in a bubble. The vast majority are people who leveraged their homes to buy a condo or 5, or investment property of some kind. When they can't close, or can't afford multiple mortgages, they will not be able to sell a condo and will have to take a $400,000 haircut on their primary residence. They believe this is almost over. None of the things that are going wrong have even happened yet! It has not even begun! High unemployment recession hasn't happened yet! Mortgage renewal wave hasn't happened yet! 40,000 condos with owners who can't afford them hasn't happened yet! They're blinding themselves! They just don't 'want' to believe it!
@@datruth4766 It's Ok. They know it they just can't say it. The Japanization of real estate is real possibility and usual outcome from such a distorted market that was created. There are far better asset classes to invest in than this. No big deal really. The debt and malinvestment needs to clear. Until it does it'll drip like Japan possibly for decades.
@@mogulrider I was too young at that time and half a world away. Must be interesting watching this with a model. Many other people could, but they are looking at it as... "bu, bu, but this time is different"
@@mogulrider this is just the Canadian problems, when you factor in the various globe destabilizing events(some of which are mentioned in the video), it is hard to envision a housing market that doesn't drop another 50%.

You guys should really have a little noise effect at the end of the show. Thrown in the bass line, or the record scratch effect from the intro song - just like a 2 second callback to the intro music. Would be waay better than just ending the show in silence.
You guys should speak to those who experienced the early 90s RE crash from the finance side. I paid a visit to an agent recently and flat out told him these selling prices are way too high. Even worse for in process construction. I maintain the occupancies and rental figures are not accurate. You have a classic bubble.
as long as there are transactions at the current prices then the levels are fine. The Gov needs prices to stick in order to keep the financial system a float. You already got 20% pull back from peak, we are probably done.
@@miggio0 But inventory are rising steadily every month. Sure there is transaction but there's alot more supply and supply coming on market. If you think its the peak, then your falling for hindsight bias. Better look at the prospect/forward thinking. Look at unemployment data, immigration contraction/quality, birth rate, exchange rate, people sentiment, income, foreign policy. Which area do you think is positive moving forward.
There is going to be a massive bifurcation in the residential housing market. The quality, livable housing stock will not crash, but instead more or less keep up with inflation. The dog crates and other bottom tier dwellings will absolutely crater. How this works its way through the financial system and the government's response to it is still TBD
Rich you can't really compare the Post Office with Police and the Hospital...Post Office is low skilled labour..wages should at least be comparable to the private sector... much easier to replace mail carriers than Hospital staff or Police..
The BoC is facing outright currency "debasement" based resurgent inflation under further rate cut deviation from US Fed Policy. Canadians are carrying just FAR too much DEBT ! No point sugar coating the effects of further BoC rate policy cuts into a diverging Canadian economy where 8.9 Million Canadians(StatsCan) are now experiencing Food insecurity/Food Banks etc., with 50+% of Canadian Households struggling with unsustainable Debt loads. The BoC will lower rates.... but careful what you wish for because that 'fix' will merely postpone and worsen the inevitable inflation.
Most condos complete in spring or summer (not the winter).... so 50% of future supply is finishing in the next 6 months in gta...... then down to nothing being built for the next decade as cost of construction exceeds sellable price. Nothing was built in the 80s for this reason.
The Titans of Stupidity have FINALLY broken the back of the economy. Unemployment rate has ratcheted up to 6.8%, auto industry is about to crap the crib, and of course the TO condo shitstorm is about to become legendary. The tides gone out, and turns out there are HORDES of skinnydippers.
Regarding Canada Post making or losing money, is the organization a Crown Corporation, if so why was it made a corp instead of a government service like police or health?
Workers rights should always be important. I work for a railway here and we've been forced back to work yet again. As did the long shoreman just within the last couple months. If workers' rights, as a whole, increase, then one would assume it'd put upwards pressure on other businesses to stay competitive and offer good incentives for good employees. Having this government just force us back to work thoroughly disgusts me as it sets a terrible precedence.
Hey Rich, I almost choked on my wine, when you said "why don't they just rent those condo's out". But then I realized that you don't live in British Columbia, where these nice Communistic Socialist NDP folks have made significant changes (little by little) to the Residential Tenancy Act which has now effectively changed the RTA dramatically and these changes, these new laws, have taken away a great many fundamental rights of property owners and landlords in general. NO ONE IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WOULD WANT TO BE A RESIDENTIAL LANDLORD IN BC. Read the ACT, or ask Steve. As someone once told me, the goal of communism and socialism is to end private ownership and have everything state owned. It doesn't take a genius to see that our goverments are going in that direction and want more and more government control of everything. I mean really, a government can enact laws and make tax changes that can put any private enterprise out of business, if they want to.
Then again, define "bundle", does that mean if I purchase the paint and glue at the same time that I purchase the model or does the paint and glue have to part of the same package?
Well, 12% of people in Canada have their temporary visas expiring in 2025 to I'm gonna say we'll have a 50bps cut; if we get Trump tariffs our economy is coked
Is Icecap getting audited? Keith seems to have a real thing for the Income Tax Act as of recent haha. Worst part is that Act doesn’t even include sales tax, you would need to add the Excise Tax Act in the mix for that.

Looking at the salaries the postal workers get it’s no surprise they’re striking given the weather they have to ensure. These guys love to whine about not getting services, but they’d never work in rain, snow, sleet, and hail for 50k either.
