Great job

The best financial podcast in Canada

Garbage podcast

Right wing hosts bashing the federal government.

Alyeaconnell ,

Too political

Generally speaking, the content is good but they are way too political. Half the show is about real estate/investing, the other half is anti environment content and other extreme right wing rhetoric.
