    These guys present an entertaining podcast and back up info with experience and data. Not sure why Liberals like to bash the show; policy impacts the economy and the loonie hour simply presents facts and data to show HOW policy impacts the economy (cause and affect).

  • Lost me

    Used to love the show but over time the politics and borderline tin foil hat theories lost me. They need to leave their political views at home.
