Are there any surveys or statistics to back this up besides Ipsos' survey? It's frankly hard to believe half the country is on the brink of insolvency.

I linked http://greaterfool.ca higher up, but I think it's the best source for Canadian financial info. Garth Turner does a really great service cutting through the bull with a blog article every day of the week!.

Search his site on google for "canada debt" for plenty of articles with links to real data / surveys.

I really like his blog and it’s in my RSS feed.

I wish his writing style was a bit more serious. I personally like it, but when I share articles with friends and family - nobody can take him seriously.

Yea, he writes so much, you have to be willing to read him for a while and get to know him and his lingo.

For me back in 2011, I was “house horny” at the time, and looking for an opposing viewpoint.

Now he’s my financial advisor and I’m a millionaire renter :)
