Housing Crash, Immigration Crisis & Economic Ruin | Rabidoux & Temprile

- Canada entered technical recession in Q4 2025 and Q1 2026, driven by declining population and negative private sector employment.

Single-family homes may stabilize soon; rental declines will persist for years. - Consumer and business confidence are at 2008 financial crisis and pandemic lows, despite headline data suggesting stability. A K-shaped economy is widening the gap between public and private sector workers. - Immigration fraud and asylum backlog have spiraled: 525,000 asylum claimants (one per 77 Canadians), with 300,000 unprocessed claims allowing bad actors to operate legally for years. Inland claims from expired students should be blocked. - Bill C-22 exploits real concerns about teen social media harm to introduce digital ID backdoors and encryption overreach, along with unilateral regulatory bodies exempt from judicial review. - Bank of Canada monetary policy hinges on whether Iran conflict continues and energy prices stabilize; inflation expectations data in July will determine whether rates rise or fall.
