The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

Like, just to see all these – many of these brain-dead policies getting reversed years later.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

True, but we also, I mean, I don't know, I brought it up.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

what eight, nine months ago saying like, like it, it was originally a big concern, but I mean, as the data start to play, I think the biggest thing, and that's what Keith and I were talking about being in the podcast is that like, it was a much, much bigger concern, uh,

The Loonie Hour

when mortgage rates were like literally, I mean, they got as high as about six and a half percent.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

Right.

The Loonie Hour

I mean, if you have people renewing off, you know, 1.2 and renewing at six and a half, that's a real problem.

The Loonie Hour

Going from 1.2 to four is, it's tough, but manageable.

The Loonie Hour

Um, you know, I think a lot of the concern was, Hey, six and a half, is it going to seven and a half?

The Loonie Hour

But, I mean, it's still really interesting just looking at a lot of the data.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

I mean, we didn't really touch about it on the event or anything, but looking at the number of court-ordered foreclosures, the delinquency rates in Canada –

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

they're still like, I think nationally, like 0.6% nationally, which I think in the U.S.

The Loonie Hour

global financial crisis, delinquency rates hit like 5% in the U.S.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

So like Canada is nowhere even remotely close, but delinquency rates are rising.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

What's interesting about that,

The Loonie Hour

Point six percent, though, is they don't capture pretty much anything outside of the big banks.

The Loonie Hour
The Canadian Economy Slips into Recession

They don't typically capture.

The Loonie Hour

Right.
