Why does this blow up now?
TORONTO – John Tory, now former mayor of Toronto, resigned his post Friday in what appeared to be a hastily put together announcement/press conference.

$ 15 miliardi regalati a chi non aveva diritto
TORONTO – L’Agenzia delle Entrate del Canada ti telefona se mancano “all’appello” 10 dollari (e se non paghi subito, scattano gli interessi) ma non ritiene utile recuperare $ 15,5 miliardi. Incredibile ma vero…

TORONTO – Sarà per trasparenza o, forse, sarà per giustificare il fatto che si continuano ad aumentare i tassi anche se gli effetti sull’inflazione (che doveva scendere al 2% e che invece è ancora oltre il 6%) non si vedono? Chissà. Fatto sta che ieri, per la prima volta, la Bank of Canada ha pubblicato un riepilogo delle ultime riunioni del Consiglio Direttivo, fornendo al pubblico ed alle istituzioni finanziarie maggiori informazioni sulla propria decisione di aumentare per l’ennesima volta il tasso di interesse…
