Inflation is skyrocketing—and the worst is yet to come

Inside the Village - A weekly podcast featuring newsmakers in Ontario

The cost of living in Canada continues to soar at the fastest rate in decades, and the sticker shock you’re feeling at the grocery store and the gas pumps is going to get worse before it gets better. On this episode of Inside the Village, Frisco and Scott are joined by Jean-Paul Lam, a former assistant chief economist at the Bank of Canada and now a professor of economics at the University of Waterloo. Also on the program: a big change at the iconic French River Trading Post, a nostalgic stop for countless summer travelers. Finally, we take a closer look at a deadly trend: Toronto-area street gangs branching out into rural and northern Ontario in pursuit of hefty drug profits. Antonio Nicaso, one of the world’s leading organized crime experts, tells us the story behind the story.
