Is the jobs report even real anymore?

In this episode of Make Money Count, Marcus and JT sit down to talk about something that's been quietly building behind the scenes, and the cracks are getting harder to ignore. From a federal agency that's lost its data collectors to a treasury yield that hasn't been this high in years, a lot is happening beneath the surface that every Canadian borrower needs to understand.

We break down:

Why two months of US jobs data went entirely missing and what that means for Friday's number
What a 5% treasury yield actually means for your Canadian mortgage rate
How Trump's attempt to fire Jerome Powell failed, and why his replacement could be even more dangerous
Why cutting rates in an inflationary environment is a banana republic move, and what Turkey's example tells us
What every Canadian borrower should be watching at 8:30AM this Friday

This episode isn't about panic; it's about understanding what's actually happening, what the data is saying, and what you can do about it before it's too late.

If you're a Canadian borrower trying to make sense of what's coming, this one's worth your time.
