The Backyard Investment Strategy Changing Ontario - JG Francoeur

Part 2 of my conversation with JG Francoeur, founder of Visture Property Group.

In part one of this two-part series, we dive into entrepreneurship, mindset, and the realities of building wealth through real estate investing. The conversation explores why financial freedom requires more than simply saving money, how continuous learning can transform your future, and why your daily habits and mindset matter more than most people realize.

We also break down current real estate investing opportunities, including HST rebates, development charges, market conditions, and whether now is actually the right time to invest.

In part two, we shift into the growing world of garden suites — discussing how investors can create additional income, increase housing supply, and unlock hidden value in existing properties through smart development strategies.

This episode is packed with practical investing insight, entrepreneurial perspective, and real-world advice for anyone looking to build long-term wealth through real estate.

Canada's Growing Debt Crisis - Wes Cowan

In today's episode, I'm joined by Wes Cowan from MNP Financial to talk about what's really happening beneath the surface of Canada's economy.

While things may look stable from the outside, rising consumer debt, increasing insolvencies, and missed payments are telling a very different story. We break down what's pushing more Canadians to the edge, the warning signs to watch for, and what actually happens when things go too far—from consumer proposals to bankruptcy and even losing your home.

We also cover the risks for co-signers, how lending is changing, and what you should do in the first 30 days if you find yourself in financial trouble.

If you think this couldn't happen to you, this is exactly why you need to listen.
