47 months of rising rent in Saskatchewan: What's going on?

New data shows rents in Saskatchewan rose 2.3 per cent in June. Nationally, rent prices are falling, but here we've had 47 consecutive months of rent increases.

The economic reality of Alberta independence

Gary Mason, a national affairs columnist for the Globe and Mail, recently dived into the numbers Alberta separation supporters probably don't want to hear.

He joins the show to explain where the numbers came from and what they could mean for not just Albertans but Canadians as a whole.
