#197 - Should We ABOLISH the Bank of Canada?

This week we chat the controversial idea of possibly abolishing the Bank of Canada. We dissect the arguments for and against, exploring the potential implications on our national currency and economic stability.


Next, we witness the political duel between Pierre Poilievre and Justin Trudeau in the hallowed halls of the House of Commons. Sparks fly as these politicians spar over critical issues, providing a ringside seat to the high-stakes battles shaping our nation's policies.


As inflation concerns grip the nation, we unravel the complexities of rising prices and their impact on everyday Canadians. From the grocery store to the gas pump, we explore the causes, consequences, and potential solutions to this pressing economic challenge.


Lastly, we head to Edmonton, where a bold move into electric buses has left the city facing a stunning $60 million loss. We examine the lessons learned, the sustainability debate, and the financial risks associated with embracing new technologies in the public sector.
