Canadian housing prices are higher than levels consistent with current fundamentals in some provinces. The empirical estimates suggest that a 10 percent decline in housing prices would lead to a 11⁄4 percent decline in private consumption. The high level of household leverage and housing prices could prove to be a source of vulnerability. The rebound in debt and housing prices after the crisis largely reflects the resilience of the financial system and the stronger economic recovery in Canada, as well as historically low interest rates.

Mortgage Freedom will save the average Canadian homeowner tens of thousands of dollars and help shave years off the mortgage. In this book Alexander Aitken offers readers a comprehensive method to structure their debt in a way that will provide tax deductions and tax refunds for most Canadians. The book explains - the type of mortgage required, - ways to accelerate the plan, - the investments used, - how to use tax refunds, - recent tax rulings, - and much more. In the simplest terms, Canadian homeowners make regular mortgage payments, which creates home equity. That equity can be borrowed back in a line of credit and used for investment purposes. Interest on an investment line of credit is tax-deductible and the tax refunds, along with the net income from these investments, can be used to pay off a mortgage much faster. Foreword by Jonathan Chevreau.

Now that this compendium is published, if any consultant or business promoter, anywhere in the world (at least in 119 countries where ISO 9000 is considered a National Standard class of family of standards) on matters claims to know what he or she is talking about and has not proven to you that they have read this important work of public disclosure, then they really don't know scientific-based, historically-accurate, information timeline. -> Learn how the Author has been telling CyrptoExchange CEO's to learn the MQCC Standards™, so they can make their cryptoexchanges better, safer and more efficient for the inexperienced global public and regulatory community -- months (and years) before sad events occurred when some exchanges suffered catastrophic shutdowns because Top Management did not have and still do not have, the historically proven systems that they need to assure better, safer and more efficient cryptofinancial operations; which MQCC developed. --> Learn how some CEO's or Top Management of Banks and Public Securities Exchanges have been explained that an over 14 year-old fully functional system built on the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" exists and will prevent corporate shareholder financial loss caused by risk due to uncertainty created by nonconformity events like mortgage fraud and ineffective public (reporting securities issuer) company operators. -> Learn how a proven regulatory-integrated framework of co-existence between public securities regulators and non-public securities regulators and regulatees has evolved since at least as early as August 14, 2001. -> Learn how the term Bungay Unification of Quantum Processes Algorithm also represented as the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" was abstracted from observation of the originating object or phenomenon. -> Learn how to find out who is a competent consultant and who is not a competent consultant on matters related to the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" -> Learn how to the global community has misunderstood the origins and wasted (in some cases, literally) millions of dollars in ideas that are "BlockChain-in-Name-Only". -> Learn how "The Principles of 'BlockChain'" have nothing to do with computer programming language C++; which was used to program the bitcoin, alpha-state, experimental software program. -> Learn about the discovery and commercialization of SYSTEMS-LEVEL Artificial Intelligence (SL) by the yours sincerely. -> Learn how commercially available suite of systems, technology, services and products work for any size organization: 1 owner-operator to an organization with 1,000,000 million employees and more. This encyclopedic authoritative reference will be your best investment in this subject matter, ever. More about this encyclopedic authoritative reference The "Principles of 'BlockChain'" were naturally discovered out of a need to create a governance and operating system for the world's first "peer-to-peer (P2P) electronic finance system-network" for the trade in non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; commencing from at least as early as August 14, 2001. As a reminder, before you invest or spend any money on "BlockChain"-anything, or "crypto"-anything; learn from from the person who first discovered and then commercialized it, since at least as early as April 9, 2005 at www.privatelender.org; a person who also happens to be the world's leading authority on National and International Standards-Class NISC™ (in at least 119 countries), Quality Management System-integrated, regulatory-integrated, litigation-tested, BlockChain-based Systems, Technology, Services and Products. WARNING: If you have any question of comprehension or understanding, seek professional counsel before you - another friendly reminder - spend even one more unit of fiat currency ("real" money) on any "BlockChain" or "Crypto" project. Ask your local legislator, lawyer or, in the future your local conformity scientist and PROFESSIONAL BLOCKCHAINEER™/®. Remember this authoritative encyclopedic reference is written by the person who developed the world's first commercialized an application of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" in Commerce for a peer-to-peer electronic finance system. A body of transmundane knowledge encompassing a variety of knowledge disciplines. Having built "it" first and having built "it" right, means - despite being the CEO of a commercial finance sector organization - the Author is more or less "under the radar" from the scrutiny of the general public due to successful application of the sub-principle "effective disintermediation"; as such, nobody on Earth has really been afforded an opportunity to "look behind the history" - in a single, primary source compendium - to see how delicate, comprehensive, complex and beneficial conformity science and the "Principles of 'BlockChain'", truly are. Not to mention the painstaking diligent years of maintaining the momentum. If you, your family, your company or your country is even "thinking" about investing limited sovereign resources and valuable time into the "Principles of 'BlockChain'", "crypto"-anything, "token"-anything and related matters (or want to be an authority on the subject), then learn about its origins, its regulatory-scrutinized, litigation-tested commercial applications of the present-day, and its future. Especially if you are (or will be, one day) employed as a Head of State, Legislator, Policymaker, Regulator, Lawyer, member of "Top Management" (Chief Executive Officer (CEO) or Board Member of a regulated or non-regulated Organization, Academic (student, undergraduate, graduate, doctoral, post-doctoral research), Journalist, Professional Liability Insurer, Investor, Head of a Family Office; or, if you are your normal, everyday person, just curious about the world. This work of scientific-commercial-regulatory-financial literature is both a public service and an introduction to the foundational body of knowledge that led to the discovery of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'", the birth of binary digit non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow securities and related financial instruments; Binary Digit Financial Instruments or Digital Assets and the Discovery of Conformity Science. It is the foundation of evolutionary digital commerce (a new field of science for the study of the evolutionary (revolutionary, perhaps?) processes related to the discovery of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" and production of binary digit financial instruments (digital assets), systems, technologies, services and products. The body of evidence - as you would expect from the creator of a system built on principles that creates trust through transparency, immutability, validation, traceability and verifiability - is itself, traceable, verifiable, immutable and transparent. You will not find this content anywhere else. MQCC is the point of origination. The Bungay Unification of Quantum Processes Algorithm: when Quantum Unification Theory met Commerce. A revolutionary paradigm shift in how commerce is transacted, allowing for realizable quality, conformity and control goals to be achieved; resulting in long term, sustainable inflows of money. And lots of it. If you agree that the "Principles of 'BlockChain'" offer the utmost level of immutable data (knowledge) veracity, validity, verifiability, transparency, proof and truth; then you will understand the non-trivial implications of this history of the discovery of the "Principles of 'BlockChain'". Origin of a Specie™: an authoritative encyclopedic reference that only the discoverer of the world's first globally accessible, regulatory-recognized, regulatory-integrated and regulatory-trusted, commercialized "Principles of 'BlockChain'"-based system for the trade in non-bank, non-institutional, non-syndicated, non-regulated or regulatory exempt, free trading securities and related financial instruments; also known as Peer-to-Peer (P2P)/Private/Crypto/Secret/Shadow securities and related financial instruments (Binary Digit Utility Tokens for Digital Assets), could write. 

This paper assesses the impact of high household debt on economic volatility in Canada. The debt per se may not necessarily be a risk for economic activity; it can amplify other shocks as well. A few studies have emphasized the link between the growth of household debt before 2007 and the severity of the Great Recession. Economies with debt tend to experience more severe housing busts and recessions. If household debt ratios are not stabilized, the vulnerability of the Canadian economy is likely to be high.

The analysis of the mortgage market is a specialised field but examines a financial market with extremely wide-ranging implications; it affects the stability of the whole economy. The key thing about this analysis is the increasing importance of the secondary mortgage market – which in the US is now several times larger than the market for government debt. The UK secondary mortgage market is also growing and the book will provide a timely resource to those active and interested in this important financial market. The 1990s saw an enormous growth of mortgage market analysis as an academic subject and there is a vast literature scattered among the key real estate journals. There is now a great need to not only bring this very complex subject area together, but also to abstract the main issues and to render them intelligible. The book will provide an organised research resource and also inform and motivate further research into the microeconomics of mortgage markets.
