Summary

BOOK A CALL WITH US NOW: https://www.controlandcompound.com/contact-us On the surface, things look stable. Inflation is near target. Rates are holding. The dollar isn't moving much. Markets aren't melting down. But underneath? There are some real shifts happening. On the March update, Darren and Christina talk about Canada's productivity problem, the growing imbalance between government and private sector jobs, real estate entering what we'd call a "pressure phase," and why Bitcoin's drop may not mean what people think it means. They also dive into why Canada's market is outperforming the U.S. right now — and it has less to do with the economy than most people assume. If you care about where the country is heading financially, this is an important one. Tune in now!
