"Your segment is one of the best in the news broadcast. Always very informative and useful. Keep up the good work." — Tony Cole "I watch ‘Consumer Alert’ often and just love the segment. I find it very informative and have often used your advice. Thanks!" — Helen Viveiros-Dunlop   Stop trying to keep up with the Joneses—they’re broke! Canada is a nation drowning in debt. We used to be known as savers, but savings rates are negative for the first time in Canadian history. We have become a consumer-driven society, buying things we don’t need with money we don’t have. The Smart Canadian’s Guide to Building Wealth is all about How to get it, how to keep it, and how to make it grow. Pat Foran delivers a strong message about why Canadians are in such rough financial shape, as well as practical advice on how you can gain control of your financial situation and build wealth of your own. You’ll learn secrets of financial success from wealthy Canadians, how they got to be where they are today, and their advice on how you can do better financially. And you’ll get practical, straightforward advice from one of Canada’s leading consumer advocates
