Description

Long before this pandemic, alarm bells were ringing about the amount of household debt Canadians are carrying. Now, the financial stress for many is through the roof.

Also, Dawna Friesen speaks with personal finance expert Preet Banerjee about the dangerous tipping point Canada is facing.
