The Big Domino: Most Canadians view their tax refund as a “bonus” found money to fund a vacation. The Wealth Strategist views a refund as a failure of planning. It represents “Artificial Capacity”—capital that should have been compounding in your account all year, but was instead loaned interest-free to the CRA.
In this episode, Sunny Kochar reveals the math behind the Tax-Funded Multiplier. You will learn how to stop being a passive passenger in your financial life and how to legally use the government’s money to expand your wealth foundation.
Reference the “Factory Rebate Diagram” discussed in this episode.

Kitchener, ON – A new space for folks to escape from the cold and receive food and social supports has opened in Kitchener as cold winter weather has set early in Waterloo Region. Thresholds Homes and Supports opened the doors to the new 30 bed overnight warming centre at 298 Lawrence Avenue in November. The new centre will serve any who is 18+ and is inclusive of all gender identities.
In a press release ahead of the opening Jessica Hill, the new warming centre’s team lead is quoted “We are working hard to go beyond giving people a place to warm up, and will have staff on site, including a peer support worker, to connect folks with other supports, and provide a hot meal and snacks to take with them when they leave.”.
The new warming centre comes at a critical time as homelessness continues to plague an increasing number of local residents. The provincial 2024 “Point-in-time” count found that nearly 2,400 people were experiencing homelessness in Waterloo Region, with about 78% of those folks experiencing “chronic homelessness. At the time only 301 shelter beds were available regionally, and with the new overnight 30 bed warming centre, the number is still well below the required capacity.
This show features an interview with Jessica Hill, the team lead of Thresholds Homes and Supports’ new overnight warming centre in Kitchener.

Bob talks with Boris and Paul of Love Your Neighbour Communities or LYNC. It builds attainable housing for the community, currently in the historic feed mill in Baden. Paul has a historic display in the mill. A LYNC Christmas is an afternoon of music to give back to the community that made this happen. Paul and Boris tell of their backgrounds, and discuss the ways that society has made it difficult for people to get assistance.
The interview starts at 4m17s.

| 4m17s | Bob asks about Love Your Neighbour Communities. Boris says that it’s an organization to provide attainable housing for everyone in the community. They discuss the scarcity of available housing. “LYNC” is not the organization Bob thought it was, there are others using the same name. They’re working in partnership with the Region of Waterloo, as well as the Township of Wilmot. They’re redeveloping the old police station in New Hamburg, right beside the historic feed mill, which LYNC bought in 2022. The community came together to raise $1.5 million to purchase the properties. There will be 35 units of housing in this building. | ||
| 10m45s | Boris explains the term “Attainable Housing” — high quality housing that should be available to anyone. The development will be mixed income housing, mixed generational housing. There are accessible units, some with two bedrooms. This development is in New Hamburg, but Boris will be going to Drayton in Mapleton Township to see about developing there. Boris is looking to repurpose existing buildings to reduce the environmental footprint. | ||
| 16m04s | Paul has been creating a history program out of the mill block where you can see the history from the time the mill block was established. It started when someone requested a tour of the mill, but the building had been empty for two years and not ready for a tour. So Paul accessed research by local historians and put together the history of the mill. Some of this history is available on the LYNC YouTube channel. The housing should be ready around the time of the mill’s 200 year anniversary. Paul has set up one of the old police cells as a display area. There are community walk tours; Boris wants to have the mill and the history project part of that. | ||
| 21m03s | A LYNC Christmas is Paul’s brainchild. He says that as an organization, they need to give back to the community. There are two events to do this, one is the porch music festival. They raised $30,000 even though this wasn’t supposed to be fundraiser. A LYNC Christmas is free afternoon of music, tickets are about three-quarters sold. Boris gives the event details, and Paul runs down the musicians: Juneyt, Anat Hector, Lisa Hagen and the Local Vocals, and Derek Goupil and the Highview Community Church Band. Paul is concerned that the show will be sold out and people will miss the performances. Paul has a phenomenal reputation in the community, so he had contacts to get all these musicians. He’s not just an event planner, Paul is the treasurer on the LYNC Board of Directors. | ||
| 27m30s | Paul tells us of his past, when he was homeless as a youth, and how important it was to get help from his community. Bob comments on the precarity of housing, most people are only one paycheque away from not paying rent. Boris tells us of a young lady who is working, and making too much money to live in social assitance housing but not enough to pay rent at market rates, and so ended up homeless. Boris tells us of his frustration about this, how difficult the process for getting assistance is. LYNC doesn’t provide transitional housing, but focuses stopping individuals from getting on the street, provide housing so they can provide for themselves. The problems in society have become so great people can’t get ahead of it. People aren’t listening to what people need, Boris is changing that. Paul says that when he first looked to help from the community he was told “You’re not a brand.” Now LYNC is that brand. | ||
| 35m50s | Boris tells us of the LYNC partnership with a construction manager, Nith Valley Construction. LYNC finds people in the community who need jobs and find employment for them. The ground floor of LYNC is entirely social enterprises, ready to help people in all kinds of jobs. | ||
| 36m45s | Bob asks how rent costs are determined in a mixed income community. Boris tells us they’re aiming for “deep affordability”, far less than the government’s definition of 80% of market rate. One of the keys is that it has to be sustainable. The LYNC Board has financial planners, with experience in all things. And they will hire staff to provide building management. LYNC will maintain management of the buildings, but the tenants will form a cooperative to develop programs that meet their needs. And there is room for volunteers! That’s how they can have programs like A LYNC Christmas, and community gardens, and learning how to prepare food. Purchased food is so expensive, people can reduce those costs by growing their own food. | ||
| 43m33s | LYNC is looking for volunteers, but Paul has things well in hand for A LYNC Christmas. Paul makes a pitch for donations on Giving Tuesday. As a registered charity, tax receipts are made available for all donations. Donations can be made online at https://lyncommunities.com/donate/. Paul tells us about their newsletter, not just with info about LYNC but also info about he community. Bob explores the LYNCommunties.com website. | ||
| 45m50s | How did Boris get involved? He used to work at Ray Of Hope and was contacted by a former co-worker who needed help. He’s worked in organizations across the world, and LYNC is one of the most exciting groups he’s worked with. Housing is a big issue, more so than helping at the soup kitchen or donating to the food bank. LYNC gets lots of help from the Region and the Township, but the system makes it hard to do what they’re doing, but they keep on plugging ahead. And the community is very generous. | ||
| 50m17s | Paul got involved when he was living on the streets at age 15. He had help from people in the community, and he felt the need to give back. He started with LYNC when the building was purchased. | ||
| 53m41s | Boris recaps the event details for A LYNC Christmas, and Paul recaps the musicians, all local. Bob makes a pitch for local musicians to submit music to Radio Waterloo. | ||
| 56m33s | Bob gives the end credits. | ||

The bank wants you to pay off your mortgage. Please keep it.
The Current State (Static Wealth): You have been taught that being “debt-free” is the ultimate safety. So you pour your liquidity into your home’s equity. That money sits there, trapped in drywall, earning 0% return on investment. It is “Dead Equity.” It has no velocity. When you pay off the bank, they take your capital and lend it to someone else to earn a return. They win. You lose liquidity.
The Future State (Kinetic Wealth): A Wealth Engineer uses a “Readvanceable Mortgage.”
The Gap: The gap is efficiency. In the first scenario, your dollar dies after paying the bill. In the second scenario, the dollar pays the bill AND buys an asset.
Stop admiring your paid-off home while your portfolio starves.

Kitchener, ON – Adding to the tool box to build housing in Kitchener faster, the city has fully endorsed the federal government’s new Housing Design Catalogue, which makes full “off the shelf” building design plans available free of charge. Further the city has fast tracked parts of the application process to make sure that zoning compliance approval is done within 15 days of application, and building permit review is completed within 10 days.
In a recent press release from the city, Kitchener Mayor Berry Vrbanovic said “Together, with Kitchener’s flexible planning frameworks and resources and Canada’s new guide, we’re making it easier to build more housing across our city.”
The press release also claims that the housing design catalogue “aims to make housing more affordable and accessible, providing pre-designed, adaptable housing plans for homeowners and builders, including backyard homes, fourplexes, stacked townhouses and sixplexes.
You can check out the approved designs on the City of Kitchener’s and the CHMC’s websites.
This show features an interview with Katie Anderl from Kitchener’s housing and policy division and Tim Benedict, the manager of building in the city’s building division.

CKMS News -2025-11-26- Kitchener Fire Department launches upgrades to 911 services
dan kellar
Kitchener, ON – Following years of development and adhering to a provincial edict, the Kitchener Fire Department has launched the “next generation” of 911 services in the region. The upgrades reflect the changes in the ways people communicate with 911, primarily the uptake of mobile phones and the abandonment of land lines.
Next generation 911 will use Internet Protocol tracking to get a more precise location of the caller and allow for faster communication of details between the caller, the dispatch centre, and fire crews rushing to a scene.
The changes to 911 services have been underway since 2022 when the mandate to upgrade was announced by the federal Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission.
The government of Ontario has been supporting the transition over the past three years with $208,000,000 in grants across the province since 2022. The Kitchener Fire Department has received $650,000 of those provincial grants while the Waterloo regional police service has been given $3,8000,000.
This show features an interview with Jamal Alam, who has spent the past 3 years as the Program Manager of Fire Systems and Projects with the Kitchener Fire Department. Alam has been with the Kitchener Fire Department for 9 years.
Kevin Swayze tells us about Unsilent Night, an annual one-night festival put on by the City of Cambridge in downtown Galt. He gives a description of the walking tour, talks about the historic buildings downtown, tells us of Galt as a film set, compares Galt to Hespeler (and Kitchener!), and tells us about living in the Rose Hill area of Galt.

| 3m23s | Kevin Swayze tells us of the origin of Unsilent Night from Wikipedia. There are references to “Boom Boxes” and “Walkman” players. Cambridge joined in 2008, it’s a walk around the streets of old Galt. It started with about 500 people, but participation increased to 10,000 people by 2018. It’s a very different energy from ducking out of the way of trucks barrelling through the streets. | ||
| 8m35s | Kevin gives us a descriptive tour of Unsilent Night. You’ll run into layers of history throughout all of old Galt. He describes the streets, buildings, displays, and performances. There’s fun for everybody. Kevin tells us of some of the buildings that were used as film sets, and some of their historic uses. | ||
| 16m40s | Kevin takes a brief detour to talk about the University of Waterloo School of Architecture building and its library. And then continues across the river on the west side of Galt. Kevin tells us of the buildings and the businesses and manufacturers that used to be there. | ||
| 26m30s | Kevin gives his impressions of the sense of space he gets from downtown Galt. Talking about the intended purpose of the streets — for people, horses, and trains. Not even bicycles, really. Heavy trucks were banned downtown two years ago. | ||
| 28m10s | Kevin says he feels Unsilent Night as a visceral event, he feels it deep inside. Bob asks if he needs prior historical knowledge to appreciate it. Kevin supplies some that historical knowledge. | ||
| 32m04s | Kevin describes downtown Galt as seen in The Handmaid’s Tale, describing some of the sets used in filming. And segues into the coffee shops and other stores in Galt. | ||
| 36m12s | Unsilent Night takes place on Friday, 5 December 2025 at 7:00pm. Traffic will be terrible, best to park and do some shopping in Hespeler, then take the bus to downtown Galt. Get there early, and have a meal in a downtown restaurant while you’re waiting. | ||
| 38m15s | Reminiscing about downtowns as they used to be, both Kitchener and Cambridge. Kitchener is different, bigger and beefier, with bigger space and no river running down the middle. Kevin tells us of his time working downtown, walking over the bridges, and describes the downtown as it was then. | ||
| 40m40s | Kevin says he could walk the Unsilent Night in about 20 minutes, but it’s meant to be taken at a more leisurely pace. And because it’s crowded, the progress is slow. Expect it to take about an hour and a half. Dress warmly, there may not be places to duck inside to warm up. It’s one night only, but come down to see the space, it’s great fun. This has the largest turnout of any Unsilent Night across the world. Downtown Galt is a space that’s built for it, like walking in a snow globe. | ||
| 43m10s | Kevin doesn’t know much about the music, or Phil Kline, the composer. His personal impressesion is a soundtrack to fill the gaps while your attention is on the displays. It doesn’t overpower the other things going on. It’s the same music that plays every year, at all the venues across the world. Unsilent Night is a space to go out and not feel there’s any agenda, it’s explore and see what you can find. There’s no worry about cars, it’s nice to let people have a space without cars. | ||
| 47m10s | Kevin compares Galt with Hespeler, another downtown built for pedestrians. Even more compact than Galt, it’s more “muscular” than Galt, but still feels like a little mill town. Kevin describes the library there, and some other downtown sights. Bob comments that Kevin has an eye for architecture and history. Talking about heritage protection and worries about sticking tall buildings in the downtown. Kevin lives where there are bits of history in suburbia. Talking about baseball and toboganning. | ||
| 57m33s | Kevin summarizes Unsilent Night and Bob gives the end credits. | ||
