If the Canadian housing crisis improves at all in the next three years, it won't be because of any Trudeau (or any provincial) housing policies or government spending -- it will happen because the federal government is slowing immigration substantially. ![]()

WELLNESS WEDNESDAY #147: Economic Advocacy is a Mental Health Issue![]()
![]()
ICBA is Canada’s largest construction association and we grew to this size largely due to our strong advocacy for the conditions that help builders succeed: a strong economy, less red tape, lower taxes, and open, fair bidding. ![]()
![]()
We also run an award-winning workplace wellness program, designed specifically for construction. ![]()
![]()
These two streams of work combine more often than one might realize. For example, a recent survey found Metro Vancouver residents report worse mental health and lower life satisfaction than other Canadians.![]()
![]()
Experts point to Vancouver’s housing crisis and absurdly high cost of living as factors why mental health would be worse. It makes sense – if you’re constantly worried about housing or making ends meet, it’s tough to feel mentally healthy.![]()
![]()
We know growing the economy, building more homes, and leaving more money in every taxpayer’s pocket can help: it’s time for politicians to connect the dots on these important issues.![]()

Each week, ICBA’s Jordan Bateman reflects on what we’ve learned as we participate in ICBA’s Workplace Wellness Program.
