Canada's Infrastructure Problem

from Calm Money Coach · host Brian Orlando

Every new home in Canada starts $107,000 in the hole before anyone picks up a hammer. Not the house. Just the pipes, the roads, and the water underneath it. And we need 3.5 million of them. In this episode, I break down the real math behind Canada's housing crisis, why municipalities own 60% of infrastructure but only get 8 to 10 cents of every tax dollar, how Toronto's development charges went up 906% in 15 years, and what countries like Japan, Vienna, and New Zealand actually did to fix it. I'm a CPA with 15+ years in finance. I don't have all the answers, but I know how to read the numbers. And the numbers are telling a pretty clear story.Free calculators and guides: calmmoneycoach.comFollow Calm Money Coach on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube. @calmmoneycoach is my handle everywhere.
