Simon and Dan break down Canada’s latest CPI print and why inflation data doesn’t always match what you see at the grocery store. They dig into the recent drawdown in risk assets, from Bitcoin and Ethereum to the high-growth and AI names that have gone from “can’t miss” to painful drawdowns. They also look at Berkshire’s new stake in Alphabet, what it might signal for big tech, and wrap up with another strong quarter from Loblaw and what it says about food inflation, pricing power, and defensive compounding in a choppy market.

Tickers of stocks discussed: QQQ, MSFT, AMZN, META, GOOGL, BRK.B, UNH, NVDA, ORCL, ADBE, DUOL, HIMS, IONQ, RGTI, CELH, GSY.TO, L.TO, DOL.TO, HD

What’s Driving the Drop in  Tech Stocks and Bitcoin?

Simon and Dan kick off this episode with a clear, beginner-friendly walkthrough of the main Canadian investment accounts. If you’re not sure which account to pick or you need a refresher, the first half of this episode is for you. TFSA, RRSP, FHSA, RESP, taxable and locked-in accounts, Simon and Dan go over how they work, when they make the most sense, and the biggest pitfalls to avoid (like TFSA over-contributions and RRSP withholding tax surprises). It’s a perfect primer to share with friends and family who want to start investing but aren’t sure which account to use. 

If you’re already familiar with these accounts, in the 2nd half of the episode Simon and Dan go over 5 stocks on their radar.

Tickers of stocks discussed: WSP.TO, TIH.TO, PD.TO, TECK-B.TO, TSM

Investment Accounts Simplified and 5 Stocks on Our Radar

On this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, Simon and Dan cover a packed slate of major Canadian market moves — from dividend shocks to CEO shakeups and a long-awaited bank sale.

We break down Telus’ dividend growth pause and DRIP phase-out, why the company says the payout is safe, and what 2026 free cash flow could mean for investors. Then we look at Goeasy, where CEO Dan Rees is stepping down amid rising provisions, a short report, and widespread management turnover. Simon also explains Allied Properties’ 60% distribution cut, highlighting the three warning signs that dividend investors should always watch for.

Then we dive into Laurentian Bank’s split sale to Fairstone and National, and what this means for Quebec’s banking landscape.

Finally, we review Scotiabank’s strong quarter and whether the bank is starting to pull off a real turnaround.

Tickers Discussed:T, BCE, GSY, AP.UN, NA, LB, BNS

3 Signs a Dividend Cut Is Coming and Canadian Bank Earnings Kick Off

Before you start investing, there are a few fundamentals every Canadian needs to get right — but most people skip straight past them. In this episode, Simon and Dan lay out a simple framework to follow before you consider investing a single dollar in the markets.

Then, Simon sits down with Dan Broten, Senior Vice President and Head of EQ Bank, for a deep dive into the state of Canadian banking. They discuss EQ’s new survey on solopreneurs and micro-businesses, why small operators feel overlooked by traditional banks, and how outdated, branch-era systems still shape the experience for business owners today. Dan also shares insights on regulatory change, pro-competition momentum in Ottawa, and why Canada might finally be at a turning point in modernizing its financial infrastructure.
