2 h. ago Another Bank of Canada interest rate cut is on the way and here's what could happen

Amid times of economic uncertainty — an upcoming federal election and tense relations with the U.S. — Canadians are waiting for the next Bank of Canada (BoC) interest rate announcement.The central bank has made two 0.25 per cent cuts to its key interest rate so far this year, with the last one on March 12 bringing the rate to 2.75 per cent.That announcement came a week after U.S. President Donald Trump imposed a 25 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods, and Canada retaliated with counter-tariffs.

Tourists, be warned: photos of Toronto's iconic Gooderham Building (better known as the Flatiron Building) are not possible right now due to renovations.A trip to Toronto isn't complete without photos of all the familiar landmarks like the CN Tower and the Gooderham Building, but that travel album might be lacking for anyone currently touring around town.The 133-year-old edifice at 49 Wellington Street East is currently ensconced in a scaffold and green netting as of April 2025, as many disappointed tourists are learning upon arriving at the oft-photographed heritage building.While it's a bit of a bummer for visitors trying to get a glimpse of all the city's best-known landmarks, the temporary inconvenience will help keep the structure looking beautiful for years to come.Last month, the official account of the Old Town Toronto and St. Lawrence Market Neighbourhood BIA took to Instagram to share that "the iconic Gooderham Building (aka #flatirontoronto) is all wrapped up while u...
