Data shows only a 0.4% decline in Canadian construction employment between January 2025 and January 2026, far from 'catastrophic.' Industry outlooks for Q1-Q2 2026 remain generally optimistic, with ~1.65 million actively employed and strong civil/infrastructure demand, directly contradicting the prediction.

Canada's national housing starts rose 6% in 2025 to ~259,000 units (CMHC), far above the ~170,000-level 1990 historic low. While condo segments weakened, record rental construction drove overall gains, making the '1990 disaster' comparison clearly inaccurate. (https://storeys.com/spring-2026-supply-report-cmhc/)
