Stephen Punwasi's coverage primarily focuses on the Canadian real estate industry, particularly in Toronto. He also covers topics related to the Canadian economy, housing market, unemployment, and immigration. Given his heavy reliance on data and government announcements in his reporting, he is likely interested in receiving pitches from experts who can provide insightful analysis backed by credible data.
