Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa, Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital, to discuss the current state of gold, silver, mining stocks, and broader economic trends. Costa emphasizes that despite technical indicators suggesting overbought conditions in gold, the underlying macroeconomic factors point to continued strength in precious metals. He highlights the role of central banks, particularly in emerging markets like China, Russia, and Turkey, which have been significant buyers of gold. Costa argues that gold's revaluation is driven by global debt imbalances, de-globalization trends, and countries seeking to stabilize their monetary systems. He also explains how higher gold prices can increase the U.S. Treasury's cash reserves, enabling buybacks of Treasuries without quantitative easing, which he believes will be a critical tool for managing debt. Costa is bullish on mining stocks, noting they are historically undervalued relative to U.S. equities and have outperformed over the past decade. He suggests that as global infrastructure needs grow and supply chains shift, mining companies will play a crucial role in meeting demand for essential commodities. Additionally, he points out the attractive valuations of silver, given its high gold-to-silver ratio, which he believes could lead to significant price appreciation. The discussion also touches on the U.S. dollar's structural downtrend, driven by high debt levels and interest payment burdens, and how this impacts emerging markets positively. Costa predicts that lower yields on short-term Treasuries will benefit miners and other sectors. He concludes by advocating for increased exposure to energy stocks due to geopolitical tensions and rising oil prices.

The New Discourses Podcast with James Lindsay, Ep. 163 Do you know the name of the "new system" we're all being herded toward? Communism, Fascism, Communo-fascism, Technocracy... sure, yeah, all of those. But these are based on an underlying economic principle called stakeholderism. The World Economic Forum (WEF) "Stakeholder Capitalism" model from Klaus Schwab, along with the corporate ESG gobbledygook, is the most recognizable stakeholderist plan in the game, but do you know its long history and broader use? In this groundbreaking and controversial episode of the New Discourses Podcast, host James Lindsay explains how the first true Stakeholder economy was instituted in Nazi Germany in 1937 with the passage of a National Socialist Shareholder Law, and that both the Woke Left and New Right (or Woke Right) champion that same model today, alongside the WEF, UN, Club of Rome, CCP, and all the rest.

Today, we're going to cover what you need to know from a tax, investing, and financial planning perspective as all our taxes become due here in Canada on April 30th, 2025, and as we get well underway with 2025 in general. As you know, the government makes changes every year in these areas. The implications of these changes can have a pretty substantial impact on how much you pay in taxes, your net worth, and what government benefits you are eligible to get, and how much you get. These can easily affect your net worth in the thousands of dollars every single year, so it's definitely in your and my best interest to know about these changes and get a bit of a refresher, so that we can all better prepare, and also take advantage of any opportunities that arise, like any benefits that we might become eligible for.

You can see them and learn more here: BMOETFs.com About Our Guests: To help me with this episode, I have Certified Financial Planners Jason Heath and Paul McVean on the show. Jason is a popular returning guest on the show, definitely one of the more well-known and respected financial planners, here in Canada. Jason has been providing fee-only, advice-only financial planning since 2002, so over two decades. He is also a personal finance columnist for the Financial Post, MoneySense, and Canadian MoneySaver. He has a Bachelor of Economics degree from York University and holds the Certified Financial Planner designation. In addition to being a Certified Financial Planner, our 2nd guest, Paul McVean is also a Senior Tax Accountant, he is a CPA, and he's a Trust and Estate Practitioner (a TEP), so definitely very knowledgeable, especially on the tax, and how to save you tax side of things where he has over 25 years of experience. Jason and Paul are both fee-only financial planners here in Canada, which means they don't sell any investments so there isn't that potential conflict-of-interest that you see a lot of here in Canada where someone calls themselves a financial planner or a financial advisor, you think you're getting a good financial plan and that they have your best interests at heart, but really they are just trying to get you to buy the investments that their firm sells so that they can earn a hefty commission. None of that here, we're going for purely unbiased financial education in this episode with Jason and Paul. If you want to speak to Jason, Paul or someone from their team, you can reach them at buildwealthcanada.ca/jason. Jason and his team have been increadible educational contributors to the Build Wealth Canada Podcast for multiple years now, their episodes are consistently some of the most popular on show, and I did want to give a big thanks to Jason as he has once again agreed to continue giving Build Wealth Canada listeners a discount, if you do decide to work with them when it comes to your financial planning, optimizing your taxes, etc. A big thanks to Jason for that, and that link again to speak to them to see if you are a good fit for each other, and to get a discount if you do decide to work together is buildwealthcanada.ca/jason. And now let's get into the show. Questions: To kick things off, can you take us through any significant changes and things to keep in mind for 2025 when it comes to investing, taxes, and financial planning in general, here in Canada? One other thing that I wonder about is the importance of tax planning. I get the impression most accountants are tax preparers, not tax planners. Can you talk about the difference and why it matters? Let's talk about the elephant in the room: The changes to the capital gains inclusion rate. This could have a major financial impact for many of us here in Canada, but I think there are also a lot of misconceptions of who this applies to and in what situations. One very attractive headline that I see here in Canada from time to time, is that for 2025 for example, Canadians can receive up to $53,375 in eligible Canadian dividends tax free, if the investments are in their taxable investment accounts (and if they have no other sources of income). Some retired couples, and aspiring early retirees will then reason that combined with their spouse, they can each earn that $53,375 tax free every year, so $106,750 together. They can then just live off their dividends in retirement, pay no income tax, and never have to sell anything. This strategy has a lot of different caveats and very easy mistakes to fall into. Can you unpack this for us so that we are all aware of this strategy, but also understand its risks and limitations. While on the subject of dividends, one big consideration for Canadians is that when we receive Canadian dividends in our taxable accounts, those dividends can increase the speed at which we start getting clawed back on our government benefits like the Canada Child Benefit (CCB) and Old Age Security (OAS) for example (i.e. the gross up). One potential solution for this, is to use corporate class ETFs like HXCN from Global X for example (previously Global X was under the brand Horizons). What are your thoughts on these ETFs and can you give us your thoughts on the extra risk that we are taking on by using this type of structure where our dividends are essentially being turned into capital gains so that we don't have to worry about these clawbacks as much? For anybody new to this world of Canadian financial planning and optimization, can you take us through what an advice-only financial planner is (what you are), compared to a more traditional financial advisor title/role here in Canada?
The prevailing discourse on sustainability is often dominated by high-tech solutions—AI-driven emissions tracking, smart grids, and digital monitoring systems. While these technologies play an important role in measuring and managing environmental impact, they do not address the structural and systemic changes necessary to build a truly sustainable future. The built environment—infrastructure, material use, and urban design—fundamentally shapes environmental outcomes, yet discussions on sustainability frequently overlook low-tech, high-impact solutions in favor of complex monitoring mechanisms. That being said, the increasing reliance on data-driven climate strategies raises concerns about privacy, governance, and the broader role of digital surveillance in environmental policy. Individuals already provide more personal data to private corporations via smartphones than they do to public sustainability initiatives, yet cities continue to struggle with translating environmental data into meaningful action. This raises an essential question: should we focus less on tracking sustainability and more on embedding it into infrastructure, construction, and urban planning from the outset? This week on Beyond the Headlines, we examine the intersection of sustainability, infrastructure, and governance. How can we integrate low-tech, scalable solutions into urban design and construction to reduce environmental impact without reliance on constant monitoring? What role do transportation networks, material efficiency, and land-use planning play in driving sustainability outcomes? And how can policymakers balance data collection, climate accountability, and privacy considerations in environmental governance? To explore these critical questions, we are joined by Dr. Shoshanna Saxe, a leading expert in sustainable infrastructure and urban resilience. She is an Assistant Professor in the University of Toronto's Department of Civil and Mineral Engineering and holds the Canada Research Chair in Sustainable Infrastructure. Dr. Saxe's research investigates the relationship between infrastructure and society, identifying pathways to align urban development, transportation systems, and material use with long-term sustainability goals. Beyond academia, Dr. Saxe is actively involved in policy and sustainability governance, serving on Waterfront Toronto's Capital Peer Review Panel and the board of the International Society for Industrial Ecology. Recognized as one of Canada's emerging environmental leaders by Clean50, she was also awarded the 2019 Ontario Engineering Medal – Young Engineer. Her research and expert commentary have been widely featured in The New York Times, The BBC, The Toronto Star, The Financial Post, Spacing Magazine, and Wired. Join us as we move beyond the traditional conversation on high-tech climate solutions and critically examine the foundational role of infrastructure, design, and governance in shaping a sustainable future.

Brian interviews Matthew Lau. Matthew is an adjunct scholar at the Fraser Institute and writes regularly for the Financial Post. His writing covers a wide range of subjects, including fiscal policy, economic theory, climate change, and government regulation. He holds a Bachelor of Commerce degree with a specialization in finance and economics from the University of Toronto, and is a CFA charterholder. Matt talks about his column: “Red tape is strangling Canada's economy - The burden is growing at more than two per cent a year and is harming investment, productivity and employment”.
This week on the podcast, we discuss Peter's recent articles in The Hub: “There's a fortune to be made in Canada - if only we'd seize the opportunity,” and “It's going to take more than diplomacy and defense spending to secure Canada's sovereignty.” The podcast begins with a bit of history, looking back at a 1950s article on the potential to make a fortune in Canada. While the country is still endowed with vast natural resources, investing in Canadian resources has become more complex over the past few decades. The challenge is evidenced by an estimated $150+ billion in projects canceled, withdrawn, or denied and the $50 billion in foreign exits from the Canadian oil and gas industry over the past decade. Another example is the surge of LNG export capacity growth in the US, while in comparison Canada has had tepid investment.Peter and Jackie then discuss some ideas for attracting investors based on conversations over the past month, sparked by President Trump's threat of tariffs and annexation. These include ideas for fast-tracking Canadian trade-enabling infrastructure, including expediting projects that project proponents are already advancing.Content referenced in this podcast:IPSOS poll showing Liberals have a lead (Feb 25, 2025)Politico article, the viciousness of Trump's climate attacks stuns even his critics (Feb 22, 2025)S&P study on the economic impact of US LNGMacdonald-Laurier Institute (MLI) article on Germany's LNG acceleration law by Heather Exner-Pirot (January 15, 2024)Financial Post article Northern Leg to Trans Mountain pipeline attracts interest amid brewing trade war (Feb 21, 2025)Please review our disclaimer at: https://www.arcenergyinstitute.com/disclaimer/ Check us out on social media: X (Twitter): @arcenergyinstLinkedIn: @ARC Energy Research Institute Subscribe to ARC Energy Ideas PodcastApple PodcastsAmazon MusicSpotify

It's not a less developed country in that kind of situation, but we're going to have to get after this a lot more than we do. Part of that is the national regulator thing. You've got an Alberta stock exchange, you've got a BC stock exchange and Nova Scotia Securities Commission, a bunch of rules. Some of them are lax, some of them are not lax. Then all you do is go jurisdiction surfing. It's not going to work for the OSC in Ontario, let's see what Alberta thinks. Let's go to BC. It becomes a problem. I don't know if it's the national regulator idea, but something more comprehensive has to be done than what we've got now.Munir Haque: [00:00:46] Hello everyone, and welcome to another episode of The Boardroom 180 podcast. I'm your host Munir Haque, an executive coach and senior board strategist. I have partnered with Action Edge Executive Development to lead their governance and political acumen division.

Today we'll explore a bit more of his journey, how he got to where he is now, his take on the evolving media landscape as it intersects with the business news, and the crucial role governance plays in the world of business. Welcome to The Boardroom 180, Phil DeMont.Philip DeMont: [00:02:13] Hi Munir, how are you?Munir Haque: [00:02:14] Not too bad, yourself?Philip DeMont: [00:02:16] Good. I'm glad for that introduction. I should get you to introduce me to everything.Munir Haque: [00:02:22] You're joining us today from the East Coast, so where exactly are you?Philip DeMont: [00:02:26] I'm in Halifax. I was, for a long time, in Toronto, but then I sold my house in Toronto. I moved to Halifax where it's cheaper to live, where I grew up. I'm from a little place on Gottingen Street, across from the second largest military base in Canada.Munir Haque: [00:02:41] I lived in Halifax for a little while, and my oldest child was born in Halifax at the Grace Hospital there. Fond memories of Halifax, a beautiful place.Philip DeMont: [00:02:52] Great place.Munir Haque: [00:02:54] I talked a bit about you being a trusted voice to Canadians across the country. I've heard you countless times on the CBC morning show here in Calgary. Presumably that's across Canada as well?Philip DeMont: [00:03:06] Yeah, when I show up on the CBC, I will do morning shows from Halifax to Vancouver. You show up a couple of times a day in Calgary, a couple of times a day in Edmonton, that kind of stuff. Always on business topics not quite ripped from the headlines, but the kind of stuff that would give listeners some insight into a headline that they read. But at the same time not quite down the level of where you think The Wall Street Journal would be, because you're trying to keep it on a level where people can understand it, but get an insight into what's going on.Munir Haque: [00:03:40] I just want to start out a little bit about, we know you as a freelance broadcaster, we hear you on the radio here. Why don't you tell us a little bit about how you got to where you are right now? Like you said, you started out with degrees in economics and political studies.Philip DeMont: [00:03:55] I had gone to school at Dalhousie, and my dad had been a long time stockbroker in the city. I was thinking that might be where I ended up, but I ended up going to Queens to take graduate degrees up there. That led me to, I don't want to say a bigger world, but the idea that I didn't have to follow my dad's footsteps, to be honest. Although my first job, I've had every job that people usually hate.

SEASON: 4 EPISODE: 33Episode Overview:Marketing can be tricky, and expensive if you get it wrong. Choosing the right strategy, and agency partners can be a real game-changer. That's where my next guest comes in. His company has vetted over 800 marketing agencies to find the best at what they do.

Guest Bio: Behdad Jamshidi started CJAM Marketing after realizing that most companies don't know how to evaluate the value of a marketing agency or assess their own needs. Since every business is different not only in their needs but where they are at in the growth process, it isn't a one size fits all. In the past 5 years, Behdad (or Bee) has met with and assessed 971+ marketing agencies and vetted them down to a lean 100+ preferred partners across all marketing niches.After pairing hundreds of businesses with the right partners, he's found his skillset lies in the matchmaking process.

Tom Bodrovics hosts both Bob Thompson from Raymond James and Larry McDonald, creator of the Bear Traps Report, for a discussion on inflation trends in the G7 economies. They emphasize the unprecedented $16 trillion debt increase since 2008 due to fiscal and monetary responses to crises, which has led to significant inflationary pressures, particularly in energy costs. They argue that the market's response is putting pressure on long-term bonds and the US currency, potentially requiring a hard asset tie for stability. They also discuss the implications of a strong US dollar for Trump's economic goals, with some factions favoring a weaker dollar. A strong dollar negatively affects U.S. manufacturing exports, hurts companies with sales outside the United States, and forces the Fed to buy bonds, potentially leading to inflation and an economy weakening. Central banks are increasing their gold purchases and shifting away from US treasuries due to sanctions and mistrust in the US government, which could negatively impact the dollar's strength. Gold stocks have underperformed the S&P 500, but may offer asymmetrical returns as interest rates remain low and inflation normalizes at a higher level. They discuss historical gold investing regimes and the transition back towards the one where real rates are favorable for gold. They emphasize the importance of recognizing trends, being ahead of the power curve, and investing accordingly. The possibility of the Federal Reserve's inflation target shifting towards 3% is discussed, which could benefit certain investment portfolios in sectors like industrial, metals, materials, oil, and gas.

interview with well-known Silver expert Peter Krauth. Peter is the author of the bestselling book The Great Silver Bull. Peter is a frequent guest speaker on Silver at many mining events around the world, and an expert in precious metals markets. He runs the silver-focused investment newsletter Silver Stock Investor (www.silverstockinvestor.com ). Companies discussed in this podcast include Cerro de Pasco Resources Inc. (CSE:CDPR), Kingsmen Resources Ltd. (TSX-V: KNG) and miners. In this episode, host Cali Van Zant and Peter discuss the potential impact of Russia's decision to add precious metals to its national reserves and ban the export of scrap precious metals on silver prices, as well as the significant deficit in silver supply. He also highlights the potential impact of trade tensions between the US and China on silver prices, the technological shift in the solar panel industry, and the dynamics of investing in precious metals during bull markets. Peter shares insight on the current state of the precious metals sector, highlighting that it is the most profitable sector in the S&P index, with companies generating 40% free cash flow. He predicted that the smart money would first invest in deep value, followed by more sophisticated investors, and eventually the general public. He expresses his bullish outlook on silver, predicting it will regain $35 in the first quarter of the next year and potentially reach $40 or more. He notes that China might pivot to other markets to sell their solar panels, and that a shift in technology could affect the demand for solar panels. Peter also says that the solar panel industry is experiencing a significant technological shift, with the adoption of a new technology that requires up to 50% more silver per panel. He points out that this new technology could drive up demand for silver, which might not be factored into current forecasts. Lastly, Peter mentions that solar panel installations have consistently exceeded forecasts, suggesting that the industry is more resilient than anticipated.

Tom welcomes back Tavi Costa, Portfolio Manager at Crescat Capital, for an enlightening conversation about the gold industry and commodity space. Costa expresses his views on the current market landscape, suggesting that the Federal Reserve's rate cuts could signal a structural bear market for the US dollar, with significant consequences for inflation, gold, and emerging market stocks. He also explores the potential labor market weakness and its possible link to an impending recession, emphasizing the significance of investing in industries with compelling growth prospects. Costa delves into the subject of gold and silver markets, debating the importance of focusing on percentage gains versus supply and demand factors. He points out the long-term underperformance of the mining industry relative to gold due to a dearth of new discoveries, delayed capital flows from larger miners to smaller ones, and the general reluctance to invest in this sector. Despite these hurdles, Tavi remains hopeful about the future of the mining industry, viewing it as a promising venture rather than a mere gamble. He stress the value of acquiring expertise, focusing on scalability, and keeping abreast of market developments. When it comes to assessing miners, explorers, and developers, Tavi advocates for zeroing in on successful ventures and overlooked assets for potential value creation. Costa voices his concerns about analysts' inconsistent forecasts, particularly with respect to gold prices and future earnings, regarding this disparity as a lucrative opportunity for savvy investors. He also delves into the role of royalty companies in the mining industry and their influence on various sectors. Tavi stress the significance of recognizing incentives and their impact on industry dynamics. Lastly, they explores the substantial decline in mining investment and the repercussions of government funding and Chinese competition in securing mining assets. Tavi expresses enthusiasm for the prospective rewards in the mining sector.

Tom welcomes returning guest Peter Grandich from Peter Grandich and Company for a discussion on current economic risks and market trends. Grandich expresses concern over the markets' failure to acknowledge major issues. He argues that gold markets show some recognition of these issues, while the stock market remains complacent. With experience through three financial crises, Grandich warns that this situation is more severe due to political division and lack of meaningful solutions from Congress or the Fed. He criticizes the Fed's role in exacerbating debt through money creation during the pandemic. Peter discusses societal shifts towards consuming beyond means and their impact on happiness, the stock market, and the economy. He traces these trends to the influence of television and the internet, which have convinced people that they need more money for happiness. They note that some of the happiest people have little or no wealth while some wealthy individuals are unhappy. He criticize politicians' approach to economics compared to household management, resulting in societal issues like increasing consumer debt and a culture of living beyond it's means. Grandich discusses potential risks to the markets, including political instability leading up to the U.S. election and the impact on foreign investors divesting from American securities. He emphasizes gold's importance as a store of value in the new economic structure and advocates for capital preservation due to perceived market overvaluation. Grandich encourages individuals to build a "financial ark" through self-sufficiency, preparing for potential financial hardships, and diversifying portfolios with stocks, bonds, and gold. He also mentions the junior resource market as an area of potential undervaluation for companies searching for metals and base metals.

In episode 125, we feature "The Former Wall Street Whiz Kid" Peter Grandich. With Peter, we delve into themes related to current events and their impact on society and the world, focusing on issues he regularly examines. The subjects include Debt, Retirement Crises, Immigration, BRICs - World Trade, and Political Paralysis. These five fundamental problems are driving significant changes to the world order and equilibrium within countries, especially in the West. All these themes arise from the centralized control of the collective treasury, allowing those in power to spend and act as they please, disrupting society for their own whims. The level of fiscal irresponsibility seen in this era is unprecedented. Observing and mitigating these rising negative factors is increasingly important for individuals.

Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Tavi Costa of Crescat Capital to discuss the potential for a bull market in precious metals, particularly gold and silver. They believe that the current undervaluation of the metals and mining industry, coupled with various macroeconomic trends, presents an attractive investment opportunity. Tavi highlights the potential for increased M&A activity in the gold mining sector and the importance of finding major discoveries in the juniors. They also discuss the potential impact of ESG policies and green agendas on gold production. Tavi Costa suggests that silver is worth paying attention to, citing factors such as increased imports from India and declining production from Peru and Mexico. He sees silver as a monetary and inflationary hedge. They discuss the macroeconomic indicators pointing towards a potential recession, as well as potential opportunities in the commodity space. Tavi Costa offers insights into the Argentine and Brazilian economies and suggests potential solutions to currency and investment issues in Brazil.

Macroeconomic developments and market changes indicate a potential recession in the near future, and further inflation appears to remain an issue.

Nearly all startups fail. Often even founders with a successful exit under their belts have stories of entrepreneurial strikeouts prior to or after their home run. But every once in while there's a founder who seems to have the Midas touch who just keeps winning. No, I'm not talking here about Elon Musk. Rather, I'm talking about Yves Potvin. The classically trained chef pioneered the plant-based meat movement, founding Yves Veggie Cuisine in the 1980s, which was acquired for $35 million by natural foods giant Hain Celestial. One successful exit is rare, but Yves went on to then found Gardein, which brought alt-meat to even higher heights and was eventually acquired by Pinnacle Foods for $175 million. Rather than resting on his laurels and retiring into the Alt-Meat Hall of Fame (which if it existed he'd certainly be in it!), today Yves is betting that entrepreneurial lightning will strike a third time. He's just launched a new brand called Konscious Foods which aims to bring fish-free seafood to the masses, starting with sushi and other Japanese delights. Rather than relying on extruded plant protein isolates—the core of Gardein's products, along with most other alt-meats—Konscious is using whole vegetables like tomatoes, carrots, eggplant, and konjac as its core seafood replacers. But Konscious' frozen sushi, poke bowls, and onigiri don't taste like vegetable rolls. Rather, since Konscious acquired the IP of the defunct alt-seafood company Ocean Hugger Foods, the vegetables are prepared in such a way as to give the feel and taste of products like tuna, crab, and so on. Already they're in Sprouts and Whole Foods (see their frozen sections), and you can even get sushi made at the Whole Foods sushi counter with their fish-free fish product. In this interview, Yves and I talk about his life, success, struggles along the way, and lessons he's learned during his multi-decade career seeking to replace animals in the food system with healthier, more humane, and more sustainable options. Discussed in this episode You can see Konscious' products here. Konscious Foods recently raised $26 million in venture capital. Konscious Foods acquired Ocean Hugger Foods' intellectual property. Yves previously founded both Yves Veggie Cuisine (acquired by Hain Celestial) and Gardein (acquired by Pinnacle, and now owned by ConAgra). Yves worked on Gardein with Tal Ronen, who later founded Crossroads Kitchen. Paul saw Quorn's vegan chicken sold at KFC UK at price parity with conventional chicken. Yves recommends reading Shoe Dog, Steve Jobs, and books by Brian Tracy. More about Yves Potvin Yves Potvin has dedicated his culinary career to creating healthy, tasty, convenient foods that can now be found in institutions across North America. In 2017, Yves bought Pacific Institute of Culinary Arts in Vancouver, and he is excited about training the next generation of chefs while infusing nutrition studies, sustainable practices and new technologies into the curriculum. Trained as a classical French chef, Yves successfully built two health-focused food companies. His first, Yves Veggie Cuisine, grew to become the largest refrigerated meat-alternative producer in North America. It was sold to the Hain Celestial Group in 2001. Yves then founded Garden Protein International in 2003 to create a meatless product line called Gardein, which redefined the plant protein category and became a game changer in this fast-growing segment. Gardein received many awards including Better Homes & Gardens' Best New Product Award 2014, Canadian Grand Prix Award (four years in a row), and the National Restaurant Association's 2014 Food and Beverage Innovation Award. Yves is now the founder and president of Konscious Foods, offering consumers with conscious and convenient plant-based seafood. Yves has been recognized for his career achievements, receiving the BC Food Processors Innovation Award in 2014, Mercy for Animals Innovative Business Award 2014, BC Export Award 2014 for Sustainability, and Canada's Top 40 under 40 Award from Financial Post magazine. Yves served on the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems Advisory Board from 2007-2018, and on the BC Ministry of Agriculture Board of Advisors.
