Economy anxiety: How worried should you be?

Episode 17
If you can’t make sense of the Canadian economy these days, you’re not alone. Inflation is soaring, interest rates are rising, yet unemployment rates are historically low. Although no one has a crystal ball, it sure seems like a recession is imminent. This week, Frisco and Scott try to make sense of it all with David Macdonald, a senior economist at the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives. Also on the podcast: We talk Queen Elizabeth—and The Chicken Man of Halton Hills.
