Summary

Ken and Danille McElroy sit down with Canadian syndicator and financial educator Marcin Drozdz to discuss the looming economic crisis in Canada. As housing prices soar, mortgage rates fluctuate, and government spending spirals out of control, U.S. tariffs are now threatening key industries—pushing Canada closer to recession. In this conversation, they break down what’s happening, how severe the fallout could be, and how smart investors are strategically moving their money into U.S. real estate before it’s too late.
