David Hulchanski class discussion

Summary:
I recently participated in a panel discussion in David Hulchanski’s graduate-level social housing and homelessness course at the University of Toronto. Points raised in the blog post include the fact that all English-speaking countries of the OECD have relatively low levels of public social spending, relatively low levels of taxation, and serious affordable housing challenges. The link to the full blog post is here. Nick Falvo is a Calgary-based research consultant with a PhD in Public Policy. He has academic affiliation at both Carleton University and Case Western Reserve University, and is Section Editor of the Canadian Review of Social Policy/Revue canadienne de politique sociale. You can check out his website here: https://nickfalvo.ca/.

Topics:
Nick Falvo considers the following as important: Australia, Canada, cities, COVID-19, financialization, fiscal policy, homeless, housing, municipalities, Poverty, Privatization, progressive economic strategies, public infrastructure, real estate, Role of government, social policy, taxation
