High drama continues in Ottawa, as Prime Minister Justin Trudeau faces loud calls from his own MPs and opposition leaders to step down, following the surprising resignation of his finance minister, Chrystia Freeland, from cabinet. Trudeau has so far withstood the criticism, shuffling his cabinet on Dec. 20—the same day that NDP leader Jagmeet Singh confirmed he would make a no-confidence vote as soon as Parliament resumes, on Jan. 27, sparking an election that the Liberals will almost certainly lose. Amid the chaos, Jewish Canadians have been caught in the middle. Since Oct. 7, politicans' responses to the Israel-Hamas war—and the ensuring flood of violent antisemitic attacks on domestic soil—have sharply divided political parties and the public. As a result of the federal cabinet shuffle, the Montreal-area MP for Outremont, Rachel Bendayan, has been given two portfolios—official languages and associate minister for public security—and immediately revealed that she'd been tasked to convene a new national summit on antisemitism in the new year. But will the Liberal government even last that long? As 2024 comes to a close, The CJN Daily called on its political panel to reflect on the tumultuous year that was—and kvell about their predictions from their last appearance on this program. They are David Birnbaum, former Liberal MNA for the Montreal riding of D'Arcy-McGee in the Quebec National Assembly; Emma Cunningham, the former NDP riding president in Pickering-Uxbridge who quit over antisemitism, and is now a school board trustee; and Stephen Adler, a Conservative insider and senior director at National Public Relations in Toronto. What we talked about: Hear the political panel on The CJN Daily in 2023 to hear if their predictions came true. Ottawa is convening a second national antisemitism forum focused on policing and law enforcement, in The CJN. Why Canadians and Jews are turning their backs on the Liberals, on Bonjour Chai.

When it comes to DIY investing, there's always a temptation to make things more complicated than they need to be. But, in reality, embracing simplicity is one of the best ways to ensure good investment outcomes. Today's episode features an exceptional conversation with our long-time friend and colleague, Dan Bortolotti, who has worked alongside us as an Portfolio Manager at PWL Capital for over ten years.

Dan has played a pivotal role in making PWL Capital what it is today, and in this episode, we learn about his surprising journey to becoming an advisor, before hearing his wide-ranging insights on DIY investing. Dan breaks down key components for investors, from how to approach your asset allocation and picking index funds to navigating fees, taxes, and performance.

The explosive growth of e-commerce during the pandemic has had tremendous benefits for consumers, but it has also raised concerns about the growing size of major industry players such as Amazon, Google, Apple, Microsoft, and Facebook. Europe and the US have moved to impose antitrust measures and sweeping new competition policies against the titans of tech, and there are calls in Canada to do the same. MLI Domestic Policy Program Director Aaron Wudrick sat down with Anthony Niblett and Daniel Sokol to discuss why Canada doesn't need sweeping changes to competition policy to handle big tech and to propose solutions that would counter abuse of dominance and encourage compliance with the Competition Act. This podcast discussed Niblett and Sokol's recent MLI paper "Up to the task: Why Canadians don't need sweeping changes to competition policy to handle Big Tech."

On this episode of Icebreakers, Nathan sits down with Craig Cohon, a London-based businessman, entrepreneur and investor, and the Chief Strategy Officer at ApiJect. Craig was first exposed to Canada-Russia trade 45 years ago at the age of 13, when his father, the founder and senior chairman of McDonald's Canada and McDonald's Russia, met with the Soviet Delegation in Montreal. Later, Craig volunteered for the weighty task of bringing Coca-Cola to the former Soviet Union during the 1990s. During the episode, Nathan and Craig discuss the process of introducing Coca-Cola to the area while it was undergoing major cultural and political upheaval to become Russia as we know it today. They also discuss Craig's experiences carrying the torch during the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics, and bringing Cirque du Soleil to Russia.Learn more about CERBA here: https://www.cerbanet.org/0:00 – Intro0:39 - Introducing Craig Cohon1:29 - How it all started2:02 - Coca-Cola launch adventure in the USSR12:19 - Bringing Cirque du Soleil to Russia15:08 – Language barrier18:58 - What Craig loves about Russians23:44 - Visiting Sochi Olympics in 201428:04 - Contributing to nuclear disarmament31:38 - Backstage stories33:46 - Why Canadians and Russians have to work together34:54 - Outstanding birthday celebration37:14 - What made Craig a leader?37:50 - When Craig will come back to Russia39:42 - Conclusion

Learn why you need to invest in mobile home parks, discover why mobile home parks are all about “affordable housing”, and know how you can harness the affordable housing trend.   Resources/Links www.mobilehomeuniversity.com Summary Frank Rolfe has been an investor in mobile home parks for almost 30 years and has owned and operated hundreds of mobile home parks during that time. He is currently ranked, with his partner Dave Reynolds, as the 5th largest mobile home park owner in the U.S., with over 250 communities spread out over 25 states. Along the way, Frank began writing about the industry, and his books, coupled with those of his partner Dave Reynolds, have become leaders in this niche of commercial real estate investing. In this episode, Frank talks about the investment potential in mobile home investment and why you should invest in mobile home parks. Topics Covered: 01:29 – Frank’s transition  from the billboard business to mobile home park investing, why he chose the mobile home park as his real estate investing choice, the potential for affordable housing 04:01 – Expensive housing versus mobile home parks, what people do not know about the mobile home park industry 04:41 – Frank’s unfair advantage in real estate, how his billboard advertising background and being a ‘workaholic’ helped him succeed 06:25 – What are the typical challenges he experienced in mobile home park investing 07:39 – The problems he solves for his students, how he teaches them to get to mobile home park investing 08:15 – Why mobile home park is a great investment in terms of financing and returns 09:25 – What’s an average mobile home park deal looks like in terms of number of units, pads, and finance, the price point for buying one mobile park property  12:52 – Why Canadians should love mobile home park investing: Higher cap rates. 14:52 –  Frank Rolfe's best tip: ‘Think of a man of action, act like a man of thought.’ Key Takeaways: “I love the fact that affordable housing is a big thing right now in the US. So if we were all getting super prosperous, you would need mobile home parks. But I’m a believer that we’re going down the drain. So the demand for affordable housing grows every day.” – Frank Rolfe “Our unfair advantage probably is we’ve been doing this for so long. There are so many people, every park that we buy, we can put it in a box based on past parts, we can just almost guess, from before we buy it exactly how it will turn out. So that’s probably our entry badges.” – Frank Rolfe Connect with Frank Rolfe: www.mobilehomeuniversity.com YouTube LinkedIn Twitter Facebook Connect with Dave Dubeau: Property Profits Podcast www.davedubeau.com www.investorattractiondemo.com Facebook LinkedIn Enjoyed the Podcast?
