YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

When people are nervous about the future, they pull back — on spending, on moving, on making big life changes. That hesitation can drag the economy down, which only makes everyone more anxious. So how do we break the cycle of uncertainty? Also on the show: why most Canadian mortgages renew every five years — and what happens when they all reset at once. Plus, what's behind the slow death of decent customer service? We dig into what’s driving the frustration on both sides of the call.
