This episode is a numbers- and strategy-focused deep dive into TELUS, right as earnings drop. Mike explains why TELUS used to be an attractive mix of a telecom cash cow plus "tech-like" growth segments—but why that story has become far less convincing as revenue stagnates, debt pressure remains high, and dividend growth has been paused.

The core takeaway isn't "buy" or "sell." It's: build an investment thesis, define your rules, and track tangible metrics. If TELUS executes, the stock could follow an "Enbridge-style" recovery path. If the math doesn't improve, hope won't save the dividend—or your returns.

CDRs were pitched as a simple way for Canadians to buy U.S. (and now a few international) stocks in Canadian dollars—with built-in currency hedging.

Five years after their launch, we revisit what CDRs actually are, what they do well, and why the "convenience" story often comes with a price tag investors don't fully see. If you're holding CDRs—or considering them—this episode helps you decide if they still make sense for your long-term plan.

Today, we focus on the tax moves that actually matter (and the ones that waste your time), especially if you're sitting on big unrealized gains in a non-registered account. The big takeaway: build your plan and investment strategy first—then optimize taxes, not the other way around.
