Inflation numbers for December of '23 are not good news for the Bank of Canada - at the WEF Canada's Deputy PM and Minister of Finance Chrystia Freeland defined "decarbonization" as the singular issue defining the world economy. - Mark Carney, former Governor of the Bank of Canada and the Bank of England told the WEF "the world is being rewired" and to expect more shocks in the supply chain. - Major corporations Citigroup, Amazon and Google announcing layoffs. - Donald Trump likely to win the GOP nomination for president, his other troubles notwithstanding - and were Canada to experience a federal election this year, perhaps without the participation of Justin Trudeau would such a development have a measurable impact on the Canadian economy?
