Are we sleepwalking into a pension crisis as globalization unravels?

For decades, Canada benefited from globalization, stable trade routes, and predictable demographics—but those assumptions are breaking down fast. With immigration slowing, housing shortages mounting, and population growth stalling, the long-term sustainability of the Canada Pension Plan is becoming a serious question few are willing to confront.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

1. How the end of globalization changes the math behind immigration and pension sustainability
2. Why Canada’s demographic challenges pose real risks to the Canada Pension Plan
3. What happens to jobs, markets, and public finance if population growth stalls

If you care about the future of Canada’s economy, immigration policy, and whether the Canada Pension Plan can actually deliver when you retire, this is an episode you don’t want to miss.
