Countdown To Crisis: The Coming Economic Collapse
The Canadian economy stands on the brink of disaster, with experts predicting a catastrophic downturn that could dwarf the Great Depression. As the wealthy elite and powerful institutions tighten their grip on global finances, ordinary Canadians face an uncertain and potentially devastating future.
Historical Precedent
The stock market crash of 1929 serves as a chilling reminder of how quickly fortunes can change. Over three years, the market plummeted by 89%, taking two decades to recover. During this time, vast amounts of wealth were funnelled from average citizens to a select few, laying the groundwork for today's global power structures.
Recent Wealth Transfer
The past four years have witnessed another massive shift in economic power. While small and medium-sized businesses crumbled under pandemic pressures, big box stores reaped record profits. Countless working Canadians lost their livelihoods and savings, begging the question: where did all that wealth go?

Canadian Business Owners Sound Alarm Over Capital Gains Tax Changes
In a letter to Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland, the Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) expressed deep disappointment over the federal government’s proposed changes to capital gains taxation. The changes, which include increasing the capital gains inclusion rate to 66.7 percent, have sparked significant concern among small business owners about their ability to retire and save for the future…

The Historical Failures of Fiat Currency (Paper Money) and the Case for Gold Ownership

These historical instances highlight the vulnerabilities of fiat money and underscore the enduring value of gold…

Canada's Lost Economic Decade: Safeguarding Wealth Against Uncertainty
Canada's economy went from boom to bust faster than anyone could anticipate. Statistics Canada (StatCan) data shows slower-than-expected real gross domestic product (GDP) growth of 1.7% in Q1 2024, along with a downward revision for the previous quarter to just 0.1%. Rapid population growth has led to a sharp decline in per-capita real GDP, effectively rolling back to 2014 levels and indicating a lost decade of household progress…

Canada’s Housing Crisis: Excessive Leverage and Long-Term Risks
Canada's record population growth, combined with a significant slowdown in new home construction, presents a perplexing challenge. The Government of Canada (GoC) has pointed to legal and regulatory barriers, while confidential communications with lenders reveal deeper financial dynamics at play. The Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC) has been quietly extending the maximum amortization periods for loans, allowing repayment terms of up to 55 years. This move aims to stabilize the market by making it easier for borrowers to manage their loans, but it also raises significant concerns about long-term sustainability…

Navigating the Future of Real Estate Investment in Canada
In recent years, a significant number of Canadians have ventured into the world of real estate investment. According to Royal LePage, 4.4 million Canadians own a residential investment property. During the period of low interest rates between the financial crisis and 2022, these individuals were enticed by the prospects of cash flow, rapid price appreciation, and the entrepreneurial dream of becoming DIY property investors. However, the reality of renovations, maintenance, and tenant issues soon became apparent. The recent increase in interest rates has compounded these challenges, leaving many real estate investors seeking alternative investment avenues…

The Custodial Model: An Additional Layer of Protection
In light of the revelations in David Rogers Webb's book The Great Taking, to further safeguard wealth, the firms I work with employ a custodial model, where client assets are held securely by an independent third-party custodian rather than commingled with the firm's assets. This crucial segregation of assets provides an additional layer of protection, reducing the risk of seizure or misappropriation in a financial crisis or institutional insolvency. The custodial model offers investors a safeguarded solution to help secure their wealth separately from the investment management firm.
