@MikePMoffatt As a student trying to understand Canada's housing crisis — do you think young people will ever realistically be able to afford homes in cities like Toronto, or has that ship sailed without major structural reform?
@MikePMoffatt Hi Dr. Moffatt! I'm a university student studying Canada's housing crisis for a class project. In your opinion, what's the single biggest policy change that would make housing more affordable for young Canadians in the short term?
The attached image demonstrates the severity of the housing crisis in Canada - and how it is affecting Canadians ability to buy and rent residential properties.
A detailed OECD report highlights how rising housing prices, limited supply, and regulatory barriers are key economic and financial drivers of Canada’s housing crisis — important for understanding affordability challenges. #EM203Research

#em203problems@haven203wlu Hi Haven! I really liked your mind map on the impact of tech on society. One additional issue to consider is the environmental impact of technology—like e-waste, energy use from data centers, and the carbon footprint of constant device upgrades.
@EM203CHutchins That is the issue, it seems effective because you are still completing what needs to be done, but maybe with longer times taken and less focus on the task at hand.
@EM203MiriamAbde Same here Miriam, it's important we are learning how the internet is shaping how people learn because we are living through this as well!
@CharlotteEM203@EM203geddlesto I agree Grace, I also enjoyed picking up a new skill with Sudoku through this course! Something I may not have done in my free time.
@EM203timran I love your point about how effective learning depends on matching tools to the learner. Everyone tends to learn differently and it's important that you establish what that is to be able to put yourself in the best position possible!
