Is Canada becoming too expensive to live—and too costly to run a business?

In today’s episode of The Ryan Holtz Show, Ryan breaks down the rising frustration many Canadians are feeling about the cost of living, housing affordability, and the growing conversation around businesses leaving Canada. With Prime Minister Mark Carney now leading the country, Canadians are asking tough questions about what has changed, what hasn’t, and what it means for the future of the Canadian economy.

Ryan dives into the real issues Canadians are talking about at kitchen tables, online forums, and boardrooms across the country—including rising grocery prices, housing shortages, taxes, and the pressures facing entrepreneurs and small business owners. This episode explores whether current policies are helping everyday Canadians or leaving people feeling squeezed financially.

You’ll hear a balanced look at:

• The biggest concerns Canadians have about the cost of living in Canada
• Why housing affordability continues to dominate national conversations
• The reality behind claims that businesses are leaving Canada
• What leadership under Mark Carney means for Canadian families and entrepreneurs
• How global economic pressures are impacting Canada’s economy
• What Canadians should watch closely in the months ahead

If you're a Canadian homeowner, entrepreneur, investor, or working professional feeling the pressure of rising costs, this episode will give you clarity, context, and perspective on what’s really happening in Canada right now.

This conversation is especially relevant for:

• Canadian small business owners
• Entrepreneurs and investors
• Families struggling with inflation and rising expenses
• Anyone concerned about Canada’s economic future
• Listeners interested in Canadian politics and leadership

Ryan brings his signature real-talk perspective to one of the most important conversations happening in Canada today—cutting through headlines and focusing on what matters to everyday Canadians.
