November 22 2025-Which Charities Deserve Your Money & Is Canada Experiencing its Breaking Point?  It is shaping up as a tough season for charities between the Canada Post strike and slowdowns and the affordability crisis, which means it’s more important than ever to make sure our hard earned donations are wisely used. Charity intelligence is out with its annual lists and ratings of the best and most impactful nonprofits. I talked with Kate Bahen, Managing Director at Charity Intelligence Canada. And Is Canada at the breaking point? Donald Trump may be the biggest threat, but according to a new book by Darrell Bricker and John Ibbitson, other big shifts are putting our country at risk and they worry that our decision makers are not up to the challenge. I sat down with Darrell to talk about "Breaking Point: The New Big Shifts Putting Canada at Risk.”
