Episode 95: Navigating Politics with a Business Mindset

Today, our host Bob Gauvreau explores how politics and business intersect—especially with an election coming up. It’s not about taking sides, but understanding how decisions at the federal and provincial levels affect business owners.

Bob walks through the key responsibilities of each level of government, explaining how things like healthcare, education, tax policy, and trade show up in your day-to-day operations. He also highlights current party proposals, including the potential capital gains tax deferral for reinvestments in Canada.

If you're a business owner who usually avoids politics, this episode makes it practical and easy to understand.

🎧 Tune in now to stay informed and make confident decisions—for your business and beyond.
