It’s been a long time coming, longer than Ted Michalos and I predicted in our past year-in-review podcasts. We predicted that 2014 and 2015 consumer insolvencies would remain flat, and they did. However, last year, we predicted that the seeds of a debt crisis had been planted, and we fully expected consumer insolvencies to begin to rise. And they did, albeit not until the end of the year. As of October 2018, year-to-date Ontario bankruptcies and consumer proposal volumes were up 0.6%. That growth came mostly in the latter part of the year, with 5 of the previous 7 months showing year-over-year.

We believe a consumer debt crisis will hit us in 2019; on today’s show we analyze the numbers, and give you our predictions for 2019.
