Opinion: How to win workers and restore loyalty in the workplace
Evan Siddall is the chief executive officer of Alberta Investment Management Corporation (AIMCo), one of Canada’s largest institutional investment managers, with more than $168-billion in assets in 2021.

Around the halls: Built environment issues that could define 2022

The mortgage stress test is like Buckley’s cough syrup: “It tastes awful. And it works.” Some young Canadians are finding it harder to buy homes. Mortgage insurance levels have declined by 15 to 20 per cent since the minister of finance extended the stress test to five-year mortgages in October 2016. “The real reason young people can’t buy houses is that they are just too expensive,” writes Evan Siddall.
Public service is worthwhile and an honour. Why aren’t more of us doing it?
Excerpts from a speech on Nov. 15, 2018 by Evan Siddall, president and CEO of the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation. I’ve been thinking a lot about poppies lately. Maybe that’s no surprise given the time of year. I’ve been thinking about how the poppy is more hardy, noble and under-appreciated than many of us realize. The flower’s determination — its urgent rebirth on the battlefields of death — was first observed during the Napoleonic wars.
