Australia’s current run has been going from 1990 when they experienced a recession in the early part of the year and has continued to this day. That in itself is a feat that demands a little closer inspection and then some thorough introspection to see what they have done right and if any of it can work in your situation.

They also rode out the 2008 financial crisis with relative ease compared to most other countries. While some countries implemented strict austerity measures and others thought they were shielded with low debt to income ratios, Australia came out smiling the other end with none of that.
Comparing Australia to Canada
There is actually quite a lot we have in common with our cousins all the way on the other side of the world. Climate not being one of them. Here are just a few factors:
- Both countries run on a democratic socialist system, although Canada could be considered leaning more to socialist policies than Australia.
- Both enjoy some of the best living standards in the world and regularly features cities on the world’s “Best cities to live in” lists. Melbourne currently holds the top spot.
- They are ranked side by side as the 12th (Canada) and 13th (Australia) largest economies by GDP.
Among developed nations, Australia has the second highest household debt-to-GDP ratios in the world. Currently, it stands at 123% which is only behind Switzerland at 128%. Switzerland in the lead doesn’t say much either as it is a very small country with a unique economy. Closer to home, Canada’s household debt-to-GDP is only now at around 110%.
While Canada is also one of the few countries that didn’t suffer greatly because of it, we still recorded three consecutive quarters of negative growth in the aftermath. This while Australia didn’t even go into recession.
Another difference between the two nations can be found in their credit policies. Australia’s government has been promoting ever more credit expanding policies (especially in the aftermath of the global financial crisis in 2008) to their citizens while Canada has leaned more towards tightening access to financing such as mortgages and loans from traditional financial institutions or banks.
In conclusion
Recently, Canada’s government has been running budget deficit policies in a bid to stimulate the economy as well as keep the housing market from crashing. Economic conservatives are quick to dismiss these policies as the ultimate evil. However, what is usually a make or break factor is what the end-consumers do with the new capital or financing they have.
If they spend newly borrowed money poorly without smart investing it won’t end up back in the economy stimulating other sectors. If it is invested well and put to good use it has the capacity to be a positive influence on the economy.
We should look to our friends down under with hope that the current policies can and have been shown to work before. We should just be patient and not panic just yet.

Was looking for a mortgage broker in Toronto. Heard about Leon and his team from a co worker and decided to give them a call. after some time on the phone talking about mortgages and what would work best for me I was VERY impressed. They were polite and most importantly they knew what they were talking about. We then scheduled an appointment and I got my mortgage with a great rate. Definitely recommend.
Got tired of sow service and mediocre rates from my bank, so I started looking for a mortgage broker. Had some family friends recommended Leon and his team, so decided to check them out. Was very impressed with Leon, he guided me through step by step, recommended a mortgage and I ended up switching to him. My rate is better and he always answers call and emails right away.
A little while back my wife and I finally decided to stop renting and get a place of our own. After some searching we found a condo we both liked and that was in our price range. The next step was a mortgage, but honestly, neither of us knew too much of what we were getting into. We found Leon and his team after a quick search on google and have had a wonderful experience. Leon and his team of mortgage brokers are VERY knowledgable, polite, work fast and just all around very professional. They answered all our questions and we got a great rate.
Getting a private mortgage was not easy to be honest, but at least with Mr. Leon it was doable. Thank you for your help!
Going through with this company was my best decision. These Burlington mortgage brokers are real professionals. They helped me to save thousands of dollars, I'm not sure I'd find such a good offer myself.
