🌟 The Highlights
🏠 Housing is Thriving — Not Just Surviving

⏳ The Hard Part is Almost Over

📊 Missed Payments? Under Control.
Yes, some Canadians are behind on payments — and that's real for those families. But nationally, this was
fully expected and planned for. Routledge called it
"quite manageable" — an earnings issue for banks, not a system-wide threat. No crisis here! ✅

Remember all those scary headlines about a looming renewal cliff? Thanks to proactive regulation, that risk was
cut by more than half. What we're experiencing is a
speed bump, not a catastrophe — and the system is handling it beautifully. 🚧➡️🛣️
