How Real Estate Swallowed Canada’s Economy (The Housing Trap)

Canada didn’t lose its economy overnight. It sold it — one house at a time. Beneath the surface of rising prices and paper wealth, Canada built an economy increasingly dependent on real estate speculation instead of productive growth. What looked like prosperity was, in reality, leverage. In this video, we expose how housing didn’t just overheat — it absorbed the entire economic engine. We break down how capital stopped flowing into businesses, innovation, and productivity — and was instead vacuumed into condos, land, and debt-fueled price inflation. GDP kept rising. GDP per capita quietly fell. This is the anatomy of a real estate trap. We examine how borrowing against home equity turned households into financial intermediaries — using HELOCs as synthetic income, sustaining consumption without growth. How immigration became a demand lever without a matching supply response. And how illicit capital quietly distorted housing markets, pricing locals out while masking structural weakness. This video also follows the consequences: – A shrinking productivity base – An economy addicted to asset inflation – Talent quietly exiting south – And a future shaped more by balance sheets than output The question is no longer “Will housing correct?” The real question is: 👉 What happens when an economy mistakes price for progress? 👉 Is this a crash — or a lost decade in slow motion? This isn’t a story about bad actors. It’s a story about incentives that rewarded speculation over creation. 🔔 Subscribe for deep dives into money, power, and the hidden mechanics behind modern economies.
