@floydmarinescu can you shed some light on the key factors driving the current housing crisis in Canada? What potential solutions do you see on the horizon? Also, do you think that this is an employment issue rather than a cost issue?
@trevortombe Do you think the current housing crisis can be solved by increasing employment in Canada? Will hiring Canadians first rather than outsourcing jobs bring back money into the economy and lower interest rates?
This website by the government of Canada goes into depth about how high interest rates in Canada will impact your finances and affordability. canada.ca/en/financial-c…#EM203problems

A significant problem associated with climate change is water scarcity, since changes in precipitation patterns and the melting of glaciers affect the availability of freshwater resources. #EM203problems@EM203BHo_
A significant problem associated with sudden weather jumps, or rapid changes in weather, is the increased risk to human health and safety. These abrupt changes can lead to infrastructure damage. @EM203Sheffield#EM203problems
@EM203rcampbell A problem associated with Inflation can be reduced purchasing power. As prices for goods and services increase, the value of money decreases making it more expensive for buyers #EM203problems
@em203Valeri I totally agree! The first few weeks of #EM203Robin have been quite informal yet incredibly informative. I'm also excited to continue diving into new concepts in the upcoming weeks!
In the beginning weeks of #EM203Robin has been very informal! I have learned about the digital age of media and about the unique characteristics of the internet. I am very excited to continue learning new concepts in this course within the next couple weeks!
@EM203Min I agree! The first three classes have been engaging! Making cartoons to introduce ourselves was a creative way to connect with classmates. This course is one of the most unique experiences in my academic journey over the past four years. Looking forward to what comes next!
#EM203Robin The first three classes of EM203 are very interesting and easy to focus on. I enjoyed making cartoons to introduce myself in the first week, which was very attractive to my classmates. This course is the most unusual in my four years of study.
Just got done with the first couple lessons of EM203!
We explored how technology has changed the digital natives' way of learning. We were also able to engage and got to know about our fellow peers in the course by making comic strips about ourselves through Pixton!
