"Young people" are not buying "1 million McMansions" in Kitsilano, they're stretching to buy condos in Maple Ridge because that's all they can afford.

I'm not sure how you can look at all the economic numbers and conclude that Canada is a "bright light". We're literally the worst developed economy in the world. I can only guess you're too busy living it large off the HELOC from your "$1 million Mcmansions" to have noticed.

Good post
