The Cowichan Case, Rent Control Reversal & The Bank of Canada's Mixed Signals
We cover three major shifts in Canadian real estate: BC Land Ownership: The Cowichan Tribes won a land title ruling in BC Supreme Court, challenging ownership certainty since 95% of BC is unceded land. This creates risk for developers and lenders due to legal ambiguity. Ontario Rent Control: The government quickly abandoned plans to consult on "security of tenure" rules, showing the political power of tenants — over 50% of Toronto households rent. This reflects a shift toward renter-driven housing policy. Interest Rate Uncertainty: The Bank of Canada is signaling fewer rate cuts than expected, with markets pricing in a "pseudo-pause". This creates challenges for both homeowners and renters. The common theme: power is shifting in Canadian real estate — Indigenous nations reclaiming land, tenants reclaiming policy, and the Bank trying to reclaim inflation control.

How Long Will This Recovery Take?
In this news episode, BMO warns that Canada's housing market has been falling for three years, similar to the 2007 US crash. Recovery will take a long time. CMHC says today's Toronto condo slowdown is different from the 1990s crash because lending rules are tougher and buyers are more financially tested, meaning things won't get as bad. On the positive side, the federal government plans to cut development charges in half in the November 4 budget. Canada's hottest housing markets have moved to the Prairies and Atlantic Canada, with Newfoundland leading with 12.3% price increases.
