In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we break down the latest earnings from major U.S. retailers, Canadian banks, and one beaten-down software company. We start with Walmart and Target, where the results show that the consumer may be starting to feel more pressure. Walmart continues to perform well overall, but its comparable sales growth slowed sharply, and management noted that higher gas prices are changing consumer behaviour. Target showed stronger comparable sales than expected, but both retailers are leaning on price cuts and grocery strength as discretionary spending remains under pressure. We then turn to Canadian bank earnings, including Bank of Montreal, Scotiabank and National Bank. We discuss provisions for credit losses, improving margins, strong capital markets results, wealth management growth, and why the banks continue to deliver despite concerns about the Canadian economy. Finally, we look at Intuit after its latest earnings, including the pressure facing TurboTax and Mailchimp, the continued strength of QuickBooks, and whether AI and pricing pressure are starting to disrupt parts of the business.

In this episode, Angela Heit shows you how to Imagine Your Soul-Aligned Team. Angela Heit believes the most extraordinary businesses aren’t built by one visionary leader – they become places where many people discover and express their purpose through a shared mission. For more than 30 years, Angela has helped organizations build extraordinary teams, leading organizational change initiatives for companies including Sprint, AT&T, CIBC, BMO, Rogers, and SPAR Aerospace, while also consulting with hundreds of small businesses. She also built and sold her own multi-7-figure recruitment company, growing it from 2 to 25 team members in just 18 months. Twenty-five years ago, a spiritual awakening sparked a deeper question: Why do some teams thrive while others struggle – even with the right people and the right strategy? That question led her to integrate conscious leadership, energy and somatic practices, belief work and law attraction & manifestation, and organizational development into one transformational approach, the Aligned Team Method™Angela’s mission is to help conscious entrepreneurs build the team their soul’s work requires – creating businesses that become homes for collective purpose, where aligned people bring their gifts together in service of a shared soul-inspired vision.

Employee ownership is gaining momentum as a powerful strategy to align business success with employee wellbeing and community resilience. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Michael Torrance, BMO's Chief Sustainability Officer, sits down with Leah Turnbull, Managing Director and National ESOP Practice Lead at BMO, to explore how employee ownership structures—such as Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOPs) in the U.S. and Employee Ownership Trusts (EOTs) in Canada—are transforming the way companies think about growth, succession, and sustainability.  They discuss why employee ownership is increasingly relevant amid a wave of retiring business owners, how it can help close the wealth gap by expanding access to equity, and why it offers a compelling alternative to traditional sale options.

Ashlee gets a talkback asking if Bmo knows what the "Joyce Journey" is and she gives us an update on changing her last name. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Home sweet home. After seven straight games on the road, the Toronto Argonauts finally returned to BMO Field and somehow found a way to pull out a wild 33-30 victory over the Calgary Stampeders. It certainly wasn't easy. On a night when the Argos' offence seemed determined to give the game away, Toronto's defence delivered its most complete performance of the season. The Double Blue held Calgary to under 250 yards of total offence, intercepted Vernon Adams Jr. twice - his first two interceptions of the season - and didn't allow him to throw a single touchdown pass. Those turnovers were especially important because Toronto was having problems of its own. Chad Kelly threw four interceptions as the Argos lost the turnover battle 5-3, yet a special teams touchdown and an outstanding defensive effort kept them within striking distance all night. And then, when they absolutely had to have it, the offence finally came alive. Trailing late in the fourth quarter, Toronto battled back, Sam Hicks ripped off a huge 40-yard touchdown run, and rookie kicker Brady Lidster gave the Argos the lead before Benji Franklin's interception slammed the door on Calgary. Ben Grant and JB break down one of the strangest and gutsiest wins of the season. How did the Argos survive five turnovers? What changed defensively after Calgary put up 58 points in their first meeting? And what can we take away from an offence that struggled badly for much of the night but still produced when the game was on the line? Plus, the guys discuss the other star of Toronto's long-awaited home opener: the new and improved BMO Field. From the pristine grass surface to the upgraded lights, sound system and video boards - and the brand-new North Pavilion boxes enjoyed by several Home Suite Home winners - the World Cup renovations have transformed the Argos' home. After two months away, the Argos are finally back at BMO. And they're back at .500.

Travis, Vince, and Darren break down LAFC's 1-1 draw with Chivas that ends in a penalty shootout win, a “Chivas vs Chivas” night with an electric, contentious atmosphere at BMO that featured a heavy Chivas presence but a loud 3252. David Martinez's mature decision and assist in the build-up, a strong defensive performance led by Nkosi Tafari with MULTIPLE goal-saving interventions, and the 17-year-old homegrown hero, Jude Terry stepping up to score the winning PK with ADDULT COMPOSURE, all contributed to a big win tonight. We talk to fans calling in from the stadium, LAFC fans, Chivas fans, and split fans.

What if the biggest banks in Canada showed up to the same party and couldn't agree on anything? In this episode of Make Money Count, Marcus and Justin imagine exactly that: RBC, TD, BMO, and Scotiabank, all in one room, all asked the same question about where rates go next. Three of them show up with nearly the same answer. One of them shows up ready to argue. We break down: Why RBC, TD, and BMO all point to weak labor force growth and US trade tariffs as the reason rates are likely on hold Scotiabank's outlier call for stronger growth and two rate hikes, and why this bank always seems to be the hawk in the room A chart on Canadian firms' long-run inflation expectations, and why it's holding steady even after a hundred-dollar oil price shock The role oil prices are playing behind the scenes in keeping inflation above target Why Justin is still making the case for variable right now, and the math behind that call Where mortgage rates actually stand today, and the real spread between fixed and variable Four banks. One question. Only one real disagreement. Watch till the end to find out which bank is the outlier, and what it means for your mortgage. #CanadaMortgage #MortgageRates #MortgageTalk #Cannect #MakeMoneyCount #CanadianEconomy

In this episode of The Canadian Investor Podcast, we look at whether Canadian bank stocks have become too expensive after their big run. We discuss David Rosenberg’s recent Globe and Mail article, the valuation of the big banks, why earnings growth may not be as strong as it looks, and whether investors should consider trimming or simply holding. We then revisit bonds and fixed income. After one of the worst stretches ever for long-duration bonds, do they still deserve a place in investor portfolios? We look at why the traditional 60/40 portfolio worked so well for decades, what changed after 2020, and why shorter-term Treasury bills may be more attractive than long-term bonds in the current environment.

Nature is no longer being viewed as an environmental consideration alone—it is increasingly being recognized as critical infrastructure that supports economic growth, business resilience, and long‑term value creation. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, BMO's Chief Sustainability Officer Michael Torrance speaks with Dom Kempson and Mike Morris from Stantec, a global leader in sustainable engineering, architecture, and environmental consulting, about how nature-based solutions are helping organizations manage risk, strengthen operations, and improve outcomes for communities. Drawing on examples from water systems, data centers, coastal infrastructure, and ecosystem restoration projects around the world, the conversation explores how companies are integrating nature into planning and investment decisions. The guests discuss why leading organizations are embedding nature into business strategy rather than treating it as an add‑on, how financial institutions are increasingly viewing nature as a source of resilience and risk reduction, and why nature-based solutions are becoming an important part of future infrastructure investment.

In this AMA episode, Ben Felix, Dan Bortolotti, and Ben Wilson tackle a wide range of practical investing questions submitted by listeners. They begin by discussing one of the most common investing mistakes—market timing—and explain why getting back into the market is often harder than getting out. From there, they explore the evidence behind lump sum investing versus dollar-cost averaging, why high valuations rarely justify sitting in cash, and how your discomfort with investing may reveal a mismatch between your portfolio and your true risk tolerance.   The conversation also pulls back the curtain on PWL Capital's investment committee, detailing how new investment products are evaluated, how due diligence is conducted, and why even seemingly simple index funds require ongoing scrutiny. They then examine whether any recent Canadian ETF innovations are genuinely useful, discuss retirement-focused T-Series asset allocation ETFs, debate whether gamified trading creates opportunities for active management, and respond to questions about inflation, currency debasement, and the real drivers of long-term stock returns. As always, the episode closes with a lighter listener question before reading a review from the audience. Key Points From This Episode: (0:04) Introduction and why AMA episodes continue to resonate with listeners. (0:55) A listener asks how to reinvest after selling half their portfolio over bubble concerns. (2:00) Why successful market timing requires being right twice. (3:04) Why all-time market highs are normal and poor signals for investment decisions. (4:00) What market valuations can—and cannot—tell us about future returns. (5:00) The evidence comparing lump sum investing with dollar-cost averaging. (6:34) Why even the worst historical entry points rarely favor dollar-cost averaging. (9:07) How investment anxiety often points to an overly aggressive asset allocation. (11:37) The psychology of buying after market crashes and why investors rarely do. (13:20) Why the best strategy is often whichever gets you invested and keeps you there. (16:14) A behind-the-scenes look at PWL Capital's investment committee. (17:23) How new securities are researched, reviewed, and approved. (19:10) How acquisitions have changed the firm's investment oversight process. (20:15) Annual due diligence on ETF providers and fund managers. (21:55) Why even plain-vanilla index funds require performance monitoring. (25:17) Are there any genuinely innovative new Canadian ETFs? (26:27) Why most ETF innovation is driven by investor demand rather than better investing. (28:19) Avantis ETFs and discount bond ETFs as notable recent developments. (33:52) Why ETF issuers tend to launch products after investment themes become popular. (33:52) Where investors should spend their planning time when wealth is still relatively small. (35:00) Why growing human capital often has a greater impact than optimizing investments. (37:59) Budgeting, saving, and account selection early in an investing journey. (39:14) BMO's new T-Series asset allocation ETFs and how they generate retirement income. (41:56) Understanding managed distributions and return of capital. (44:08) Why these retirement ETFs may suit DIY investors but not every retiree. (48:31) Whether gamified trading and meme stocks create opportunities for active managers. (50:08) What the evidence says about active management in small-cap growth stocks. (53:39) Why market competition limits persistent opportunities from retail speculation. (53:39) Do stocks only rise because governments debase currencies? (55:59) Inflation measurement, currency debasement, and common misconceptions. (58:10) Why productive businesses—not money printing alone—drive long-term stock returns. (59:53) Ben answers a listener's basketball shoe question. (1:02:02) A listener review from Switzerland and closing remarks.

We break down Angel City's 2–0 win over Orlando, what went sideways with the post-match fireworks at BMO, the rivalry's surprisingly even all-time record, and why Mel Barcena and Kenza Dali are genuine threats.

Financial coercion can often be a hidden form of violence—leaving Indigenous women survivors with debt, damaged credit, and barriers to rebuilding their lives. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, a panel presented by BMO's Office of Reconciliation in collaboration with Victim Services Toronto examines how financial systems are used as tools of control in trafficking and exploitation, and how those same systems can support recovery.Bringing together frontline, community, and financial institution perspectives, the discussion highlights the compounded barriers Indigenous women face and the importance of culturally grounded, trauma‑informed approaches. Listeners will hear how initiatives like the Reclaim program are helping to remove coerced debt, and rebuild trust in institutions—demonstrating how collaboration can align pathways for healing and long‑term stability.

Most building upgrades and retrofits stall not because of technology or economics but because owners lack clear data on their buildings, delaying decisions and raising costs. In this episode of Sustainability Leaders, Michael Torrance, Chief Sustainability Officer at BMO, speaks with Brodie Boland, Co‑Founder and CEO of Upgraid, about how better data and analytics can accelerate building upgrades and unlock emissions reductions. Boland explains why the market for building upgrades remains highly manual and inefficient, despite widely available and cost‑effective technologies such as heat pumps, lighting upgrades, and automation systems. The conversation explores how Upgraid uses machine learning and large datasets—from satellite imagery to permitting records—to create a detailed view of building systems and identify where upgrades make economic sense.

Learn more here. — Dan Pontefract spent two decades building leadership, culture, and engagement inside high-tech and telecom organizations, and never once thought seriously about age. Then, in his early fifties, he had a wake-up call. It sent him to look under a rock he'd never lifted, where he found “an absolute cavern of issues.” The result is his sixth book, The Future is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce. Dan lays out the coming “bell to bulb” demographic inversion and the risks for organizations ignoring it. For individuals, he reframes the whole arc of a working life, from the language of generations (which he rejects as an ageist cognitive bias) to three universal career eras: Rivers, Rocks, and Rubies. That demographic inversion means experience will become more scarce and valuable. The through-line is don’t retire,  rewire instead. He shares stories of people who kept working or returned to work in a different way, which brings his concept of the “experience dividend” to life. ________________________ Bio Dan Pontefract is a renowned leadership and culture strategist, author, and keynote speaker with over two decades of experience in senior executive roles at companies such as SAP, TELUS, and Business Objects. Since then, he has worked with organizations globally, including Salesforce, Amgen, State of Tennessee, Nestlé, Canada Post, Autodesk, BMO, Government of Canada, Manulife, Nutrien, UBC, McGill University, Virgin Media O2, City of Toronto, among others. Dan has firsthand experience in turning leaders and corporate cultures into a competitive advantage. In addition to The Future of Work Is Grey, Dan has written five other books: WORK-LIFE BLOOM, LEAD. CARE. WIN., OPEN TO THINK, THE PURPOSE EFFECT, and FLAT ARMY garnering multiple awards including the Thinkers50 Top New Management Book and the Axiom Business Book Awards Gold Medal. Dan has also written for Forbes, Harvard Business Review, Leader to Leader, The Globe and Mail, Inc., among other outlets. Dan is a renowned keynote speaker who has presented at four TED events and delivered over 600 keynotes. He is an adjunct professor at the University of Victoria and has received over 25 personal awards. Dan’s career is interwoven with corporate and academic experience, coupled with an MBA, B.Ed, and multiple distinctions. Notably, Dan is listed on the Thinkers50 Radar, HR Weekly’s 100 Most Influential People in HR, PeopleHum’s Top 200 Thought Leaders to Follow, and Inc. Magazine’s Top 100 Leadership Speakers. ___________________________ The Future is Grey: The Untapped Value of Age in the Workforce Website ___________________________ Other Retirement Podcast Conversations You’ll Love The Second Curve of Life – Arthur C.

In this episode, we cover several major stories across AI, tech, Berkshire Hathaway, housing, and Canadian banks. We start with Anthropic reportedly moving closer to a potential IPO and what that could mean for the broader AI IPO race. We also break down the latest SpaceX IPO update, including its massive expected valuation and why investors appear to be valuing the company as much more than just a rocket launch business. We then look at Alphabet’s major equity raise and what it says about the rising cost of the AI infrastructure race. From there, we discuss Berkshire Hathaway’s planned acquisition of homebuilder Taylor Morrison and why the deal is notable under Greg Abel’s leadership. Finally, we wrap up with Canadian bank earnings, where results were better than feared, dividends were raised, capital markets helped, and credit remains the key risk to watch over the next few quarters.

One minute we're talking hibachi onion volcanoes and yum yum sauce rage… the next minute Riz is emotionally devastated because neighborhood kids apparently think he's the cranky old guy from every sitcom ever made. Welcome back to another completely normal episode of The Rizzuto Show — your favorite daily comedy show where chaos is not only expected, it's basically HR policy at this point.This episode starts with a beautiful weekend recap that somehow spirals into a full breakdown of suburban life. Lern and Tim hit hibachi for the annual “watch a stranger launch chicken at your face” tradition, Riz discovers his Blackstone betrayed him with a gas leak, and somehow the entire neighborhood has decided he's the villain from an HOA-themed horror movie. Meanwhile, Rafe absolutely refuses to let Riz recover emotionally after learning local middle schoolers refer to his house like it's the final boss level in a video game.Then things get even weirder when the show dives into the National Spelling Bee, where everyone quickly realizes they cannot spell basic words despite being fully grown adults with jobs and mortgages. “Diarrhea” nearly destroys the studio. “Separate” becomes a psychological warfare exercise. Lern fights bravely through America's most misspelled words while the rest of the gang contributes absolutely nothing helpful whatsoever.And because this is a daily comedy show, things naturally escalate into stories about teenagers shaving their heads for gas money, broccoli-haired dudes entering their buzzcut era, and parents realizing summer break may already be a mistake. Riz's son takes $50 to shave his head and immediately regrets everything, which honestly feels like the perfect metaphor for being young in 2026.Plus:The Three Song Challenge returns and listeners somehow struggle with bands literally everyone knowsA spelling bee breakdown nobody asked forTed Nugent tour updates because apparently that's still a thingReba McEntire appreciation hourDavid Lee Roth getting emotional talking about Van HalenMidwest brunch complaints escalate over iced coffee availabilityNeato toy hysteria sends grown adults into full Black Friday modeRafe delivers possibly the greatest Adirondack chair roast in radio historyRiz contemplates rebuilding his reputation with neighborhood children using bounce houses and hot dogsBasically, if you've ever wanted a comedy podcast that feels like your funniest friends yelling across a backyard barbecue while someone accidentally starts a grease fire nearby… congratulations.
