Investing Lump Sums & Canadian Home Bias

Bond yields are surging in Canada and the United States, and the implications are starting to ripple across the economy.

In this episode of the Canadian Macro Show, Simon and Dan break down why the bond market appears to be pushing back against attempts to contain long-term yields, what rising government spending and persistent inflation could mean for interest rates, and why higher borrowing costs could become a major problem for housing, AI investment and economic growth.

They also dig into the escalating Canada-US trade war and why Trump may be increasingly motivated to secure a deal with Canada ahead of the midterms. Plus, they discuss Canada's weakening labour market, the growing popularity of variable and shorter-term mortgages, the pressures facing Canadian consumers, and whether government-funded investment is masking underlying weakness in the private-sector economy.

Finally, they look at how geopolitics, elevated oil prices, tariffs and fiscal policy are becoming increasingly interconnected with inflation, bond yields and investment markets—and why ignoring macroeconomic developments may be getting much harder for investors.

Bond Yields Are Rising Fast — What It Means for Canada, the US and Homeowners

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan break down a rough quarter for Lululemon as falling comparable sales, heavier markdowns and weakening international growth raise serious questions about whether the brand can turn things around.

They also look at BRP’s latest results and how tariffs are creating major uncertainty for an otherwise well-run business, before digging into the latest Canada–U.S. trade tensions surrounding Bombardier and Canadian banks.

Then, they turn to Couche-Tard, where fuel profits remain strong but merchandise growth continues to struggle as consumers increasingly trade down and look for value. Finally, they check in on GameStop’s ongoing pivot toward collectibles and whether the company is quietly building a more sustainable business despite continued declines in its traditional operations.

Tickers of stocks discussed:
Lululemon (LULU)
BRP (DOO.TO)
Bombardier (BBD.B.TO)
Alimentation Couche-Tard (ATD.TO)
GameStop (GME)

Lululemon’s Brand Crisis Deepens & Trump Targets Canadian Companies

The AI infrastructure boom is running into a growing obstacle: communities and regulators are pushing back against massive data center projects.

Simon and Dan look at why opposition to new data centers is accelerating, particularly around electricity demand, utility costs, water usage and the strain these projects can put on existing infrastructure. They also discuss what delays could mean for the AI buildout, which parts of the ecosystem could benefit from constrained computing capacity, and why Alberta is emerging as an important battleground for new projects.

Then, Simon follows up on last week’s Royalty Pharma deep dive by looking at the different ways investors can gain exposure to pharmaceuticals and biotech. From diversified ETFs to established drugmakers, higher-risk biotech companies and the royalty model, they break down the trade-offs between diversification, upside potential and clinical-development risk.

They also discuss why seemingly “safe” pharmaceutical giants can still carry significant concentration risk, how AI could reshape drug development, and why healthcare may be one of the more overlooked ways to invest in the AI theme.

Stocks/ETFs discussed: RPRX, MRNA, MRK, JNJ, ABBV, LLY, VRTX, REGN, AMGN, GILD, ISRG, SHOP, HUT, SEI, TT, IXJ, ZHU.TO, XPH, IHE, IBB, XBI.
