Canada's Job Surge Hiding Bigger Problems | Jonathan Wellum on The Marc Patrone Show (06.08.26)

SpaceX IPO Buzz, Canadian Jobs & Investment, and the West's "Empathy" ProblemJonathan Wellum, President & CEO of Rocklinc Investment Partners, joins Marc Patrone on News Talk Sauga 960 AM for a wide-ranging conversation covering the biggest stories in markets and Canadian economic policy.On the SpaceX IPO: Jonathan breaks down the speculation around combining SpaceX and Tesla, why Tesla's valuation is driven by robotics and autonomous driving, and how Starlink has become the backbone of SpaceX's revenue. He also explores ideas like space-based data centers and Elon Web Services — and delivers a clear-eyed warning to investors: high pricing, IPO hype, and volatility are coming. Patience and dollar-cost averaging are the play.On the Canadian economy: May's 88,000-job gain looks good on the surface — but the longer-term picture tells a different story. Private-sector weakness, declining manufacturing, and a growing capital investment gap versus the United States are quietly eroding Canada's productivity and competitiveness. Jonathan explains why capital has been leaving Canada and what it will take to bring it back.On the West's "empathy" problem: the conversation closes with a frank discussion of immigration, values, and whether the principles that built Western prosperity are being protected or quietly abandoned.Get a free portfolio review with Jonathan Wellum and the Rocklinc team:https://bit.ly/4anVNzdRocklinc Principled Equity ETF (TSX: RKLC):https://rocklinc.com/etfLearn more about Rocklinc:https://www.rocklinc.comConnect with Rocklinc:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7jvdMbs6xJImhFphSyCIAEYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RockLincPartnersX: https://x.com/RocklincIPFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rocklincLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/rocklinc-investment-partners📞 905.631.5462 | ✉️ [email protected] content is for informational purposes only.
