Episode Synopsis

The Bank of Canada’s first interest rate decision of 2024 was to hold the line - and keep the key interest rate at 5 percent. How does this decision impact Canadians - and when will we start to see rates drop? We discuss with Michael Currie, Investment Advisor with TD Wealth.
Federal politicians will be returning to the House of Commons next week. What does the Calgary Chamber hope to see from the federal government in the session ahead? We get the thoughts of Deborah Yedlin - President & CEO, of the Calgary Chamber. 
Finally, just how much is Federal and Provincial debt costing the average Canadian? We hear details from a new report on the topic from Jake Fuss - Senior Economist with the Fraser Institute.
