Join Colin and Dan on a journey into the realm of Canadian Tax Planning.

Last week we discussed the big differences in things that are sometimes considered interchangeable. This week, we're going the other way! If you thought Mutual Funds and ETFs were apples and oranges, you might be surprised by this week's episode. Don't be fooled by the hype!
