Canada’s affordability crisis has become entrenched. Despite years of concern, the cost of living keeps rising, revealing a deeper structural problem: affordability is not just a symptom to be managed with subsidies and short-term spending, but a predictable result of a persistently underperforming economy.
Peter Copeland and Philip Cross examine the policy choices behind decades of weakening productivity and falling purchasing power — from regulatory burden and tax competitiveness to barriers on investment and growth — and how these decisions have made everyday life more expensive.
Building on the Macdonald-Laurier Institute’s latest work, this webinar moves beyond diagnosis to solutions, outlining practical, market-oriented reforms to restore productivity, strengthen the dollar, and improve living standards
