Correct me if I'm wrong. I know that Canadian home prices are bonkers, especially in large cities like Vancouver or anywhere in the GTA (are the Quebecois also having this trouble?). However, the problem with Evergrande isn't just failure of this company reduces home prices (which is where lots of Canadian savings resides), but Evergrande had taken deposits for tens of thousands of homes it never built or never completed.

So while the value/sale price of a home in Canada may be falling. At the end of the day it still does have value monetarily, and still serves a vital function of housing a family.

China's situation with Evergrande means the money paid for the house by the owner simply evaporated with no possibility of a refund and the house doesn't exist because it was never built (or never completed). So to me the China situation looks significantly more dire.
