Today’s episode is a feed swap with Hard Truths, the podcast from Generation Squeeze, whose founder Dr. Paul Kershaw you might remember from our housing episode.
In this conversation, Paul shares surprising new data: home ownership among young Canadians (under 35) has climbed to 44%—the highest level in five decades—with 18% owning mortgage-free. What does this means for the future? Canada is shifting away from a meritocracy toward a kind of landed aristocracy—where access to secure housing and wealth increasingly depends on the family you’re born into.

As a healthcare provider working with families through pregnancy loss and terminations, Diana offers a compassionate perspective on these deeply personal and complex decisions. Drawing parallels to her own experience, she discusses the shared emotional journey of relief, sadness and all the emotions in between. “No matter the reason, no matter the gestation, all those emotions are similar to what I went through in terms of that roller coaster of making the decision that feels right, even though it's not an easy decision in any way.”
