REAL TIME Episode 31: Examining the “Canadian” Experience, with Lainey Lui

On Episode 31 of REAL TIME, we were joined by Lainey Lui, media personality, ETALK correspondent and co-host of The Social, to talk about how varied Canadian experiences can influence and benefit lifestyle trends. Lui also told us how her experience working in celebrity gossip has taught her many lessons about society, humanity, and what you can learn over a casual conversation with a friend.

We often hear about Canada ranking as one of the best countries in the world for quality of life, but what does living in Canada really mean? How does the Canadian experience differ across regional and cultural intersections? And what social, cultural, or lifestyle trends might be impacting Canadians’ real estate decisions?

Lui walks us through her home buying journey and explains the cultural nuances that played into the decision. Like REALTORS®, she emphasizes how every clients’ story is unique and those perspective can have a significant impact when building a lasting relationship.

Lui talks about a community-oriented vision for Canada that embraces diversity at every level and breaks down the image of Canada as a monolith. As a first-generation Canadian, Lui knows there are many stereotypes about what it means to be “Canadian”, but the variation in experiences is part of what makes the country so interesting.
