Is Canada’s red-hot real-estate machine finally seizing up? In this road-trip edition of The Loonie Hour (Ep. 192) we roll with housing analyst Ben Rabidoux to unpack a $900 million mortgage-fraud scandal, the cracks spreading through Canada’s economy and property market, and what higher rates, shrinking household cash-flow, and souring construction loans really mean for Canadians in 2025. Buckle up - this one’s shot in Ontario on location, five-camera 4K, amid limestone cliffs and cottage-country calm, but the data is anything but chill.
