Description
We don’t have to tell you that Canada is still mired in a housing affordability crisis. But will newly announced government measures make a dent? The House hears from someone trying to make affordable housing work in Ontario, and Toronto Mayor Olivia Chow weighs in on what she wants to see from the feds.
The fiscal update this week also gave us a look at the state of Canada’s books, and the ballooning deficit. Two people who know the issue inside and out talk about what the new number means.
The House also travels to the U.S. border to find out how the CBSA is fighting back against the importation of fentanyl and its precursor chemicals — with the help of some canine companions.
This episode features interviews with:
- Bruce Davis, development consultant
- Olivia Chow, mayor of Toronto
- Lenny Zhou, Vancouver city councillor
- Robert Asselin, economist, Business Council of Canada
- Kevin Page, economist, Institute of Fiscal Studies and Democracy
- Matt Patterson, CBSA dog handler and his partner Loki
- Aaron McCrorie, VP of Intelligence and Enforcement, CBSA
