Today’s episode is a feed swap with Hard Truths, the podcast from Generation Squeeze, whose founder Dr. Paul Kershaw you might remember from our housing episode.
In this conversation, Paul shares surprising new data: home ownership among young Canadians (under 35) has climbed to 44%—the highest level in five decades—with 18% owning mortgage-free. What does this means for the future? Canada is shifting away from a meritocracy toward a kind of landed aristocracy—where access to secure housing and wealth increasingly depends on the family you’re born into.

Erica deconstructs the arbitrary limits we place on reproductive choices and challenges the stigma around abortion, especially when you need more than one. “I remember saying to him, ‘I can't do a third one. Like, three abortions? Non-negotiable — I'm not doing that.’ Why’s there a number? It shouldn't matter. And I talked myself out of it and was like, ‘Erica, don't be ridiculous. That's the patriarchy speaking. You do what you gotta do. It's not a big deal. Like, people get their wisdom teeth out every day. If you need an abortion, you get an abortion.’”
