So i've recently started a new job and have started looking at investing, however, I've learned something that has me worried.
As we all know, Canada is in the midst of a massive housing bubble. Furthermore, a few years ago, bank 'bail-in' laws were enacted. Now, we have the CDIC which will insures your deposits up to $100,000.
However, as they point out here,
http://www.cdic.ca/en/about-di/what-we-cover/Pages/default.aspx
investments such as stocks, bonds, mutual funds, etc are NOT covered.
So basically, if I invest and the housing bubble pops, all my investments will be pillaged by the banks.
What are the chances of this happening? Should I just stay in cash (and/or gold and cryptomemes)? Could I invest and just try to liquidate all my holdings into cash if I felt a crash coming?
Any advice /biz/?

I've considered investing and/or buying a house and looking at the markets it looks like a recession and massive bubble pops are going to be no later than 2018.
