Many economists (including me!) would tell you that raising rates now is a mistake, but financial markets are already pricing in a hike this week. The divergence between traders and economists is stark. #cdnecon #economics (1/2)

Bank of Canada now expected to hike key rate as it faces 'pivotal decision'

Expectations are rising that the Bank of Canada will indeed raise interest rates this week as it considers the effect of higher energy prices on the economy.

Why should the BoC NOT hike rates this week? Headline CPI is up only because of energy prices, which haven’t yet spilled over to other goods in a meaningful way. Energy prices won’t come down soon, but GDP growth is not yet strong enough to justify higher rates.

The maintenance exemption is a ridiculous loophole in Canada’s weak airline passenger protection legislation. I’m not surprised that airlines abuse it because they have a financial incentive to do so. It’s time for Canada to adopt the EU’s stricter rules. cbc.ca/news/gopublic/air-can…

Air Canada accused of using maintenance 'loophole' to deny passengers compensation after cancelled...

Documents obtained by Go Public show Air Canada told passengers their flights were cancelled for safety-related aircraft maintenance, making them ineligible for compensation. But the planes they had...

When will there be a flying car in your garage? Not anytime soon.

People have been wishing for flying cars since the earliest days of flight and automobiles. Does Tesla’s demonstration earlier this month of a “flying” version of its new Roadster mean we’re close?

Loblaw CEO Per Bank says discount stores now key to winning price-weary shoppers

Narrow aisles, fewer shelves, and plenty of house-brand items: this Loblaw store feels cosier but still offers enough variety for a grocery run.
