What’s the best way to work — steady paychecks or building something of your own? Jimmy Zoubris and Andrew Caddell join Shane Hewitt to weigh the pros and cons of wages, salary, and self-employment. The conversation explores the tax benefits and flexibility of running a business, the retirement challenges of being self-employed, and the security pensions can bring. They also discuss complacency that comes with guaranteed income, Canada’s productivity concerns, and why high-paying industries remain attractive in cities like Montreal.

Canada’s trade future is closely tied to its neighbors — but how secure is that relationship? Jimmy Zoubris and Andrew Caddell join Shane Hewitt to discuss the implications of the USMCA, the potential for side deals with Mexico, and the risks of relying too heavily on the United States. The conversation highlights the influence of political dynamics, including recent remarks from the US ambassador to Canada, and the importance of diversifying partnerships to strengthen Canada’s economic resilience.
