How the Iran War could trigger a Canadian recession

from Hub Podcasts

Rudyard Griffiths and Sean Speer discuss spiking oil prices and the economic fallout from escalating conflict between Israel, the United States, and Iran. They examine how spiking oil prices threaten to push North America into recession, impact household budgets and mortgage rates, and expose vulnerabilities in Canada's debt-dependent economy. They also explore whether market pressures will influence President Trump's war strategy and question the sustainability of America's unilateral approach without consulting allies.
