  • When the Bubble Bursts Surviving the Canadian Real Estate Crash

    Creator

    MacBeth, Hilliard

    Abstract

    Starting in 2008, investors, upset by the stock market collapse, started to see real estate as a "safe haven" investment. While talking with numerous clients, investment manager Hilliard Macbeth realized that Canadians have far too much of their investment capital and savings tied up in expensive real estate when better opportunities are about to appear in other asset classes. He argues that Canada is in the midst of a real estate bubble, and there will soon be a crash in house prices.

  • Touch Five Factors to Growing and Leading a Human Organization

    Blevis, Mark

    Abstract

    In today’s technology-led pursuit of efficiency, we’ve removed the humanity from business. Here’s how to correct that. For better or worse, digital business has fundamentally changed how organizations hire staff, market their services, and connect with stakeholders. The problem is, in an effort to use technology to connect with people more effectively, we have lost the humanity - that critical person-to-person connection - that is the engine of commerce: Hiring is done by automated keyword searches. Offices have regressed to sterile, highly controlled environments.

  • Stalled Jump-Starting the Canadian Economy

    Creator

    Hlinka, Michael

    Abstract

    For the fifty years following the Second World War, Canada enjoyed a period of spectacular economic growth — the economy quadruple in size and the living standard of most Canadians steadily improved. However, in the years since, Canada has suffered from economic stagnation. Businesses keep closing, and Canadians find it harder to get and keep a good job. Increasingly, Canadians have relied on consumer debt to help mask the underlying problems, but for many even that temporary form of relief is no longer an option.
