This week on In the Money with Amber Kanwar, it’s a different
kind of conversation — no portfolio managers, no mailbag, just an
honest, wide-ranging “good hang” with two Canadian heavyweights.
Amber sits down with bestselling author Howard Green, whose book
Gimme a Crisis tells the remarkable story of former Scotiabank
CEO Rick Waugh, who joins the conversation too. Together, they
dive into the moments that defined Canada’s banking system — and
Waugh’s extraordinary career — from Argentina’s collapse to the
2008 financial crisis and what came after. Along the way, they
unpack why Canada’s banks emerged as some of the strongest and
most stable in the world — and what lessons that strength holds
for the future.
It’s part history, part leadership masterclass, and part
storytelling gold — a rare glimpse into how crises shape
character, business, and a nation.
