  • Laurentian Views

    I used to listen to this podcast but had to stop. Eric and Philippe are part of the Laurentian bubble and have little clue of what is happening in other parts of Canada. Philippe in particular is condescending to Western Canada and Alberta in particular.

Frequently Asked Questions About The Numbers
