Tackling Canada's housing crunch: Peter Copeland and Ross McKitrick

Tackling Canada's housing crunch: Peter Copeland and Ross McKitrick

Welcome to Inside Policy Talks, where we dive into the ideas and policies shaping Canada's future!

In this episode, Peter Copeland, Deputy Director of the Domestic Policy Program at the Macdonald-Laurier Institute, sits with Ross McKitrick, professor of economics at the University of Guelph.

In a recent commentary series for MLI, McKitrick looks at income levels, demography and population change, and housing construction and price data, from the 1970s and ‘90s onwards, to get a sense of what’s causing the ‘housing crunch’, as he calls it.

McKitrick explains that the issues confronting Canada in 2025 go beyond mere setbacks, and that unless they are resolved quickly, we face a deep and potentially permanent loss of our national standard of living and quality of life.
