You can sum up investing analyst Lou Schizas in two words – Happy Capitalism – the tagline the legendary business and financial commentator is known for. Darren and Lou dig into Canada’s housing crisis, Alberta nationalism, and how the banks swim in a protected pond.
Lou says the state of capitalism in Canada today is “capital flight” with so many people of wealth fleeing the country. Not only that, those returning to Canada from the US tend to be at the end of their careers, the “brain drain” of those under 45 are the ones who are leaving.

Did you know that one in five drivers in Florida has no auto insurance and countless others have very little coverage in terms of liability?
Andrew Iacobelli, a personal injury lawyer and mediator with dual citizenship who leads the firm Iacobelli Law joins Darren to discuss what can happen to Canadians who get into accidents in the US. Iacobelli has seen pretty well everything and stresses the importance of keeping your insurance up to date.

Jason Ubeika, a Partner with BDO Canada and the US Personal Tax Practice Leader in Canada, is an expert on taxes for expatriate Canadians. He and Darren discuss Donald Trump’s Big Beautiful Bill. They talk about the impact on Canadian Snowbirds who own US properties and they both agree that having tax professionals familiar with the tax regimes in both countries can help avoid double taxation and prevent surprises.
