Episode Highlights

What to Expect from the Bank of Canada’s Rate Decision

Former Bank of Canada Governor Stephen Poloz warns that Canada is on the brink of a recession, with population growth hiding deeper economic issues. This makes the Bank of Canada’s decision even more crucial. Will we see a 25 or 50-basis-point hike? Marcus breaks it all down in this must-watch episode!

Canadian Banks’ Growing Profits

Did you know Canadian banks are projected to make $55 to $60 billion in profits this year? Ever wonder where this massive profitability comes from, and what it means for you as a Canadian?

Why Mortgage Brokers Are Essential Right Now

Banks focus on maximizing profits, not always giving you the best deal. So how can a mortgage broker help you save money and make smarter choices?
