Grey Cup today. It's a miserable 3°. The Montreal Alouettes and Saskatchewan Roughriders are the participants. Both deserve the spot they earned. The Roughriders season record speaks for itself. The Alouettes won the games needed when their squad was healthy. Go Als Go!

Bank of Canada lowering the interest rate again to 2.25% while inflation is still high. This is not a good policy in my opinion.

Looks like government spending is still fuelling inflation. Quebec leads the way 3.3%. This spike is mostly from food and rents that have rocketed in the province. Not a good result.

Building permits are up %14 in Quebec from last month. A bright spot compared to the -1.2% decline for all of Canada. Interesting statistic to look at.

Disney Springs came to be on this day in 2015. Probably one of the nicest shopping and dining locations I have ever been. Very safe shopping except for the occasional villain in a scuba costume.

July GDP number for Canada. 0.2% Not something to cheer about but it could have been worse. Looks like mining helped save the day on this number.

Bank of Canada cut to 2.5%. This was expected. Inflation is still problematic and this rate is lower than the neutral rate in my opinion. More inflation likely to come.
