Then, Corinne Pohlmann, Executive VP of Advocacy at the Canadian Federation of Independent Business, breaks down the ripple effects of recent labour disruptions, from mail and airlines to delivery services, on both businesses and retirees. We also examine how Canada’s OAS overhaul and persistent inflation are reshaping the retirement landscape.

Faisal and Leanna dig into a major blind spot in many retirement plans: health care. From out-of-pocket medical costs to the rising need for long-term care, they explain why planning for your health is just as important as planning for your wealth.

Then, Tegan Hill from the Fraser Institute joins to unpack Alberta’s pension proposal, the potential $334 billion transfer, and how it could impact your retirement income. Whether you support it or not, this is a debate every Albertan retiree should be watching.

Next, economist Moshe Lander explains how Canada has stayed resilient amid rising tariffs and global trade tensions and what retirees need to know about how it affects your investments, household costs, and financial plan.

To wrap up, Faisal and Leanna tackle the questions they hear most often: Can I afford to retire? What happens if things don’t go as planned? They share personal insights and real-world scenarios to help you navigate uncertainty with confidence.
