In this episode, I discuss the pressing issue of housing in Canada with mortgage broker and thought leader Ron Butler.
Despite the constant dialogue around making housing more affordable and increasing supply, progress remains sluggish. Is it all just smoke and mirrors?

Whether you're a homeowner, aspiring buyer, or simply interested in real estate, this episode offers invaluable insights. Tune in and stay informed on the real state of housing in Canada.
