Why Statistics Canada Doesn't Know How Rich People Are

Our official statistics dramatically underestimate how rich the richest Canadians are.

Dan joins us today to detail what he found in his new report and explain why Statistics Canada doesn't give us an accurate picture of wealth in our country.
