Why Does Canada's Economy Feel Broken Right Now? | A Closer Look at Canada's New Sovereign Wealth Fund
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.

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.

16 Hidden Benefits of Cash Value Life Insurance in Canada
REGISTER FOR OUR BUSINESS MASTERCLASS TODAY: https://hub.controlandcompound.com/business-masterclass-webinar-registration Most people think life insurance does one thing.
