Listen "Is Canada Heading for Economic Trouble? Economist Reacts to Budget"

Episode Synopsis

Canadian economist Jack Mintz joins David Leis with a warning: “We’re not broken… yet.” But if more businesses and jobs leave Canada, that could change fast. He reacts to Canada's latest budget and if it'll get Canada moving in the right direction.  
Mintz breaks down why Canada’s soaring debt, stalled economic growth, and rising inflation are putting families under pressure. He says a country as rich in natural resources as Canada should be thriving but instead, we’re keeping minerals in the ground and piling on more debt. 
He also makes a surprising case for why tariffs might actually be good for Canada’s economy and what needs to happen before it’s too late.
