Don dove headfirst into the wild world of Trump's tariff tactics, where announcements send markets spiralling, only to see them bounce back as quickly. They debated the legality and ethics of this "Taco" strategy (you'll have to listen to understand!), the surprising surge in tariff collection, and the blunt truth about who pays those tariffs (hint: it's probably you!). Then, the podcast shifted gears to the Canadian housing market, examining historical price drops, the curious case of luxury home growth, and why sellers are at odds with current valuations. Finally, Mitch tackled the age-old question: renting vs. buying in Canada. He explored the pros, cons, and government initiatives that might help first-time buyers navigate this crazy market. Tune in for a lively discussion that blends sharp analysis with relatable insights – you won't want to miss it!
