In this episode, we break down Canada’s April CPI print, which came in below 2% largely due to the removal of the consumer carbon tax. We explain why this drop is likely temporary and what core inflation measures are still signaling to the Bank of Canada.

We also cover Canadian Tire’s earnings, consumer credit data, and what it tells us about the average Canadian household.

Following up on our TFSA episode, we dive into 5 of the most common RRSP mistakes we’ve seen Canadians make—from contributing when your tax rate is low to accidentally double-claiming a tax credit. We also shift gears and explore the psychological traps that investors fall into, including the endowment effect, anchoring bias, and the disposition effect. These are the subtle but powerful behaviours that can quietly drag down your investment returns over time.
