- OFF THE CLUFF: Rennie's Ryan Berlin on the ever-changing #VanRE market
The B.C. real estate market continues to slow, thanks to unprecedented government intrusion into the market.
One recent report estimated the loss of equity at $89 billion over the past year alone – a number which would have a staggering impact on both the B.C. economy and the provincial treasury.
Ryan Berlin is the senior economist for Rennie, and joined Rick Cluff in studio to talk about where we are at.

Gas prices continue to be a hot topic around B.C. as constrained supply, high taxes, and onerous regulations conspire to drive up costs.
Premier John Horgan has tried to stop the political bleeding over this issue by referring it off to the BC Utilities Commission to analyze everything – except provincial government taxes and policy.
Blair King is an environmental scientist who works out of Langley, and blogs at both his website, A Chemist in Langley, and on The Orca, on evidence-based environmental decision-making. Blair joined Rick Cluff via Skype.

About The Orca Podcasts
From the publisher's feed
Nothing is more important to our democracy and our politics than open discussion. Free debate about the ideas and policies that shape our province and country.
For a long time, B.C.'s online media landscape has consistently pulled in the same direction, leaving an obvious gap in the marketplace – or if you prefer, an opportunity.
The Orca's podcast network looks at B.C.'s competitiveness in a global marketplace, creating jobs and opportunity, and what it takes to create, attract, and retain talent and investment.
Our focus is on public policy, issues, and ideas that affect the B.C. economy, investment, jobs and long-term prosperity and opportunities for everyday British Columbians.
What matters most isn't whether we agree, but how we engage with each other. The Orca believes in intelligent, reasoned debate; fresh thinking; and a combination of common sense and new ideas.
