This week’s Hub Roundtable discusses the bizarre state of housing in Canada, where an income near the top ten percent is necessary to get into the Toronto market. Is this creating divisions in our society down class and age lines? We also talk about the growth of the global middle class and what it means for Canada’s ability to compete in the world.
The Roundtable features Hub executive director Rudyard Griffiths, Hub editor-at-large, Sean Speer, and Hub editor-in-chief, Stuart Thomson. The Roundtable is produced and edited by The Hub’s content editor, Amal Attar-Guzman.
