The Hidden Tax That’s Killing Toronto Housing
Want to know the biggest real scam in Toronto real estate? It’s not greedy developers or foreign investors — it’s your own government. Right now, up to 27% of every new home’s price in the GTA is made up of government charges. That’s not land, not steel, not bricks — it’s bureaucracy. On a million-dollar townhouse, that’s up to $270,000 in fees — and you’re the one paying for it every month through your mortgage. While City Hall talks about “equity” and “justice,” Toronto’s housing market is ...

Canada’s Household Debt Crisis: Why Interest Is Eating Our Future
Canada’s Debt Crisis Is Here — And It’s Worse Than You Think. Canadians are drowning in debt — and no one wants to admit it. Household debt in Canada just hit $2.9 trillion, with the debt-to-income ratio soaring to record highs. For every dollar we earn, we owe $1.80. And now, rising interest costs are eating up our paycheques — not groceries, not savings, just interest.

The $2 Scam Banks Don’t Want You to Know!
What if I told you Canadian banks convinced you to “save” $2 a month… and in return, you gave them hundreds—sometimes thousands—every year? This isn’t about fees. It’s not about interest. It’s about blindness. Banks and credit card companies pushed us into digital statements under the disguise of “going green.” But here’s the truth: it’s not about the environment—it’s about hiding the money dripping out of your account every month. From forgotten streaming services to unused gym memberships, ...

The BANK OF CANADA is Ringing the ALARM!
Canada is in trouble — and nobody wants to admit it. The Bank of Canada is about to cut interest rates for the 8th time, and while some people are cheering for a “housing rebound,” the truth is much darker. This isn’t a sign of strength. It’s a warning siren for just how weak our economy really is. For more information, be sure to visit https://www.owlmortgage.ca/ & https://wealthbuilders.realpm.ca/

Canada’s Productivity Crisis: A Slow-Motion Train Wreck
Canada’s economy is in crisis mode—and it’s not just inflation or interest rates. It’s productivity. Bank of Canada Deputy Governor Carolyn Rogers just called it a “crisis”—and she’s right. Productivity in Canada is collapsing, the gap with the U.S. is at record highs, and unless we wake up, the fallout will hit jobs, wages, and housing.

Nationalizing Rent: How Canada Killed the Dream of Home Ownership
Canada’s “housing boom” is a scam. We’re not building homes for families — we’re building rentals for corporations. In Toronto, over 80% of new builds are purpose-built rentals. CMHC is backing billions for landlords, while first-time buyers are locked out and priced out. This isn’t just bad policy… it’s generational theft. If we keep replacing homeownership with rentals, we’re locking in a future where equity, stability, and the middle class disappear. Here’s why the system is rigged, how it...

Toronto’s Housing Crisis Has a Hidden Villain... Development Charges!
It’s not just high interest rates or immigration. The real reason homes are unaffordable? Development Charges (DCs) — a quiet, crushing tax adding over $150,000 to new homes. Meanwhile, Montreal builds smarter—with lower costs and fewer fees. This week, Vince breaks down how Toronto’s broken system is killing affordability—and what we need to fix it before it’s too late.

Toronto Bought $63M Electric Ferries… WITH NO CHARGERS?!
Toronto: a global city with third-world governance. In this episode, I break down one of the most insane examples of civic incompetence you’ll ever hear — the City of Toronto spent $63 million on electric ferries… and forgot to build the charging stations. Yes, this actually happened. And yes — their solution is to run the electric ferries on diesel. You can’t make this up.
