In this eye-opening episode, we delve into the rising cost of living in Canada, exploring how inflation is affecting everyday lives. From conversations at ferry terminals to experiences in hardware stores, we uncover the pervasive impact of economic changes on our daily routines. Join us as we discuss the emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical toll of inflation and explore potential solutions, including a deep dive into Bitcoin and the underlying financial systems.

    • The strain on small businesses and the rising number of closures.
  3. Understanding Money vs. The Dollar:
