Michael Dennis

Michael Dennis is a Canadian economic writer based in Toronto who has spent more than a decade covering business cycles, public finance, and policy decisions that shape everyday costs. He began his career as a reporter for a regional news desk, then moved to national coverage where he focused on central banking, housing affordability, and the evolving role of labor markets in inflation. Michael has interviewed policymakers, economists, and executives across Canada and regularly explains complex data—like consumer price trends and budget balance mechanics—in clear, reader-friendly language. His work has been recognized for accuracy and context, including projects that traced how interest-rate shifts transmit through mortgage markets and small business lending. Over time, he expanded into investigative explainers, helping audiences understand trade-offs behind fiscal measures, tax changes, and regulatory updates. Michael’s reporting is known for careful sourcing, strong numeracy, and a steady emphasis on how economic decisions affect communities.
