The Green Effect Podcast

Season 3 - Episode 26

This Week in the Canadian Circus | Disney+ Lady dodges the shuffle and then says nothing of value | Three guys named Inflation, Prime Rate, and Bond Price walk into a bar…

The Canadian Circus is in full swing! We talk about Chrystia Freeland and how she dodged the cabinet shuffle and went on to piss off the Maritimes again, this time, PEI. How has the increase by The B.O.C. in prime a couple of weeks ago panned out. Inflation - false hope? Disney+ lady is celebrating! (insert eyeroll here). Bond prices setting records…not good for the fixed rate market.

Government Worker Strike - Historic! |Housing market and where things are - Tiffyboy and JT in a hot tub? | Going Firm on Offers - No Conditions - Let's TALK!
