This Isn’t a Pivot. It’s a Warning

In this episode, I unpack why the Bank of Canada’s rate pause isn’t just routine—it’s a red flag. If you only saw the headlines, you missed the real story. Behind the hold is a warning about inflation, trade chaos, and a possible recession. The future just got a lot more unpredictable.

Also in this episode:

  • Home sales fell for the fourth straight month across Canada, as CREA reports widespread market cooling and rising inventory.
  • The average home price in March dropped 3.7% year-over-year, with Ontario and BC seeing the steepest declines.
  • Inventory climbed to the highest level since early 2020.
  • CREA warns the housing rebound is faltering fast, with economic fallout replacing tariff worries as the new threat.
