📈 Separate ways
Thursday, 29 January, 2026

In today's episode, we explore how Alberta separatist groups have been secretly meeting with Trump administration officials, seeking massive financial support for a potential independence referendum. We also look at Canada's major banks expanding into the Middle East, with RBC applying for banking licences in Abu Dhabi and Riyadh as Canadian businesses deepen ties with Gulf nations. Plus, we cover General Motors' layoffs at its Oshawa plant, Pierre Poilievre's leadership vote, SpaceX and xAI merger talks, Manulife's use of AI in life insurance applications, and Wealthsimple's partnership with Canada Post for cash deposits.
