Canada isn't crashing… but it's not improving either. In the May update, Darren and Christina break down what's really happening across Canada — from interest rates and inflation to real estate, stock markets, Bitcoin, and the Canadian dollar. They unpack why the Bank of Canada is holding rates, how rising oil prices are quietly driving inflation, and why Canadians still feel stuck financially despite "stable" numbers. The conversation dives into: • A volatile stock market surge driven by AI and global events • Bitcoin's institutional comeback and potential breakout • A slowing but pressured real estate market • Canada's growing debt problem and spending habits • And a critical breakdown of the new Canadian sovereign wealth fund — and why it may not be what it seems Plus, a major warning about the $124 trillion wealth transfer happening right now — and why most families are completely unprepared. This episode isn't about fear — it's about clarity.
