Canada is starting to act on trade barriers—now we need to match that momentum with nation-building investments in infrastructure. That’s how we build a stable and resilient Canadian housing market, and more homes across Canada. 🏘️🇨🇦. 📖 Read more:

🚧 Interprovincial transportation constraints are holding back housing progress. Upgraded West-to-East rail, highways, and deep-sea ports could unlock better use of domestic supply—and bring materials to where housing is needed most.

📦 Canada produces enough core construction materials—like wood, steel & aluminum—to support more housing. But we’re not using them to their full potential. Distance & transport costs stop firms from buying across provinces. That’s a missed opportunity.

🏗️ New CMHC modelling shows that eliminating #TradeBarriers could result in 30,000 more housing starts per year. That’s a 15% boost toward closing Canada’s #SupplyGap—helping meet demand, increase access to ownership, and free up rental units for others.

🚛 Removing interprovincial trade barriers is a win for #HousingSupply, but it’s only part of the solution. We also need infrastructure, like railways, highways, and ports to move materials where they’re needed most.

Both Montreal and Toronto saw year-over-year decreases in actual housing starts. On the other hand, Vancouver recorded a 74% increase in starts in June, driven by higher multi-unit starts.

Latest housing starts data show that in June the 6-month trend increased 3.6%, driven primarily by strong purpose-built rental construction in western Canada. But #TOR and #VAN saw significant declines due to a weakening condo market. Let’s look at June housing starts data (a🧵)

📉 Slower migration + a soft labour market = less demand. 🧑‍🎓 Caps on international students & high #YouthUnemployment are cooling pressure on rents in some markets. But shared living is on the rise as affordability remains tight. #AffordabilityCrisis #HousingTrends. /4
