This means there&#8217;s no extra money left to make things better for each worker. Even if the economy has more money overall, the amount of money and resources for each worker doesn&#8217;t increase and can actually decrease.\u00a0 Think of it this way &#8211; if all the money needs to be spent to build more housing, how will businesses grow and\u00a0Canadian\u00a0productivity increase? The result is a declining standard of living, unaffordable housing and a stressed healthcare system.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-490\" src=\"https:\/\/advisor.wellington-altus.ca\/evansfamilywealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2024\/04\/Canada-standard-of-living.jpg\" alt=\"a chart of Canada standard of living compared to the U.S\" width=\"1281\" height=\"936\" srcset=\"https:\/\/advisor.wellington-altus.ca\/evansfamilywealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2024\/04\/Canada-standard-of-living.jpg 1281w, https:\/\/advisor.wellington-altus.ca\/evansfamilywealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2024\/04\/Canada-standard-of-living-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/advisor.wellington-altus.ca\/evansfamilywealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2024\/04\/Canada-standard-of-living-1024x748.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/advisor.wellington-altus.ca\/evansfamilywealth\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/205\/2024\/04\/Canada-standard-of-living-768x561.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1281px) 100vw, 1281px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>https:\/\/www.nbc.ca\/content\/dam\/bnc\/taux-analyses\/analyse-eco\/etude-speciale\/special-report_240115.pdf<\/p>\n<p>Wondering how it&#8217;s come to this?\u00a0 Canada&#8217;s population grew by more than five times the OECD average in 2023 &#8211; increasing by 3.2% compared to the OECD average of 0.6%.\u00a0 Incredible.\u00a0 Canada added another 1.2 million people in 2023 &#8211; worsening the housing and healthcare shortage.\u00a0 These shortages will require many years of intense spending to remedy.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Oh Canada!
