Frank Giustra

I am Frank Giustra and this is my personal Blog, where I share with you some of the lessons I have learnt in life, books I have read, and my thoughts and opinions on current affairs, geopolitics, macro economic trends and finance. I also provide insights from fascinating people I have met, and adventures I have had. It is also a place for me to share stories about my passion for food, as well as news from some of the incredible initiatives my philanthropic foundations are working on.

I have been lucky enough to have a long and expansive career. I grew up as the son of Italian immigrants who moved to Canada before I was born, and started my career in the investment banking sector before realizing my entrepreneurial spirit and founding various companies including Lionsgate Entertainment. I'm CEO of the Fiore Group, a firm that has launched many companies in the resource sector.

A good deal of my time and resources now goes into supporting charities within both my international and domestic charity foundations as well as organizations I have co-founded.

      America's Geopolitical Blunders

      The U.S. Is Making China Great Again. In the grand theater of global politics, we’re watching a show that is both tragedy and farce. In case you haven’t noticed, the world order as we knew it is dead as a dodo. History is unfolding in real time, and the transition to a new order is becoming more messy, chaotic, and perilous by the week. As someone who’s spent years in the trenches of conflict resolution and refugee resettlement, I know that power shifts don’t come neatly packaged—they involve missteps, surprises, and unintended consequences. These days, the United States is flexing its muscles at every turn. But these flexes aren’t strengthening America. Instead, they’re inadvertently making China stronger.

      Paper Promises Meet Physical Truth: How Shanghai Stole the Gold Crown

      For decades, the world’s gold trade revolved around two cities: London and New York. They were the twin pillars of postwar finance—one steeped in Savile Row tradition and quiet deals, the other all skyscrapers, caffeine, and Wall Street adrenaline. That’s exactly why, in my twenties, I packed up and moved to London to open an office for Yorkton Securities, a small Canadian brokerage that financed junior mining deals. Back then, London and New York were where the action was.

      Is Bitcoin Really "Digital Gold"?

      I have nothing against Bitcoin. It’s a fascinating experiment, a volatile speculative asset and, for some, a lucrative trade. I do have a beef, however, with the Bitcoin maximalists, who’ve transformed a digital asset into a dogma and whose self-serving prophecies threaten to burn the unsophisticated investor.

      China Loves Silver: Déjà Vu All Over Again

      History, as they say, doesn’t repeat itself, but it often rhymes. And right now, the precious metals market is hearing a familiar, resonant rhyme from the East—one that echoes with the weight of silver bullion and the resolve of a nation determined never to be humiliated again.

      Indulging in pasta in Italy uncovers how politics affect our waistlines

      As an Italian, my love for Italian food runs deep.I even make my own olive oil in Orvieto, Italy, and every time I travel there, the first thing I do is enjoy a plate of local pasta. I find myself eating more pasta in Italy than I do in Canada — it just tastes better!

      Tin soldiers and AI’s coming: The horrifying prospect of algorithms ruling the future of warfare

      With few exceptions, most soldiers do not wish for death on the battlefield. While some warrior cultures, like the Norse, revered dying in battle as an honourable end, and some jihadists today believe in heavenly rewards for martyrs, these are outliers. The reality is that the prospect of being shot or blown to pieces is terrifying, making recruitment a persistent challenge.

      Censored and silenced: Why the mainstream media’s selective coverage of the U.S. election is wrong

      Why the U.S. is heading for hyperinflation — and what will happen when it arrives

      Although much of the population is anxious, no one can imagine a worst-case scenario, simply because unlike my parents’ generation, our generation has never experienced the effects of a depression, hyperinflation, or war. The sad reality is that history has shown us that these cycles occur every 70 to 100 years and the patterns leading up to these crises are recognizable.

      Fiscal Armageddon looms and no one in power wants to talk about it. Here’s why you should be afraid

      For the better part of two decades, a small group of us fiscally prudent types have been relegated to the wilderness for having the temerity to sound the alarm. Our warnings were bordering on heresy to many on Wall Street and in DC. But lately, more and more voices are joining the chorus that we are heading headlong toward a fiscal and monetary cliff.
