MPP Lisa McLeod; Mortgages will come down in 2025; Singh versus (Mrs.) Poilievre; US Troops in Western Alaska

Lisa McLeod joins The Shurman Report today…she’s the MPP for Nepean and a former Ford Government Cabinet Minister in two different portfolios…but she’s done after 19 years and won’t run again. She’ll be another regular contributor to The Shurman Report. Home mortgages renewing in 2025 should come in somewhat better than we may have been thinking. Canada’s inflation rate has reached the 2% target and the Bank of Canada will likely drop its overnight rate by 1/2% next month. And again in December. If mortgage renewal or a new home purchase is on your list for 2025, start thinking now.  Jagmeet Singh and Anaiida Poilievre (wife of Pierre Poilievre) exchange words on social media. And the United States positions troops and rocket launchers in very western Alaska…the Russians and Chinese have ships, subs, and aircraft in the area for drills. Not unusual but America takes no chances. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
