The Two Stewards Show

In this episode, Mark and Brent dive into the uncomfortable truth behind our modern financial system:
The Bank of Canada may have held its policy rate at 2.75%
Economist Richard Werner explains how banks create money out of thin air—not by lending deposits, but by issuing new credit
George Gammon outlines how this fuels inflation, asset bubbles, and the so-called Cantillon Effect, where the rich get richer while the middle class gets crushed
Saifedean Ammous calls it a moral failure that punishes savers and rewards debt and speculation
We explore how this system affects democracy, increases government overreach, and forces people into a financial squeeze with only two ways out: up or down

Toronto’s “Missing Middle” is finally getting attention—but is it too late?
 
In this episode, we unpack insights from the Buildstak summit: why the city’s Yellow Belt is under pressure, how multiplex conversions are leading the charge, and what 452 new permits reveal about housing trends. We explore how suburban sprawl reflects values like independence and privacy—and whether today’s housing choices are isolating us. From the politics of COA approvals, NIMBY resistance, and family-sized units, this is a deep dive into the relationship between housing, policy, and the kind of communities we’re really building.
