The Bank of Canada (BoC) will not be introducing a digital currency any time soon.
After researching and holding public consultations on the idea of a central bank digital currency, the BoC said it will be shifting its focus away from the concept.
Freeland is crying.

Despite millions in federal spending aimed at curbing gun and gang violence, Canadians report a significant rise in gang-related crime, with many personally affected by it, according to new research by the Department of Public Safety.
“One in five Canadians report they or someone close to them has been affected by gang-related violence,” stated the report Guns And Gangs Awareness Campaign. Additionally, 70% of respondents agreed that Canada has a growing gang violence problem.
OTTAWA – Over the course of just a few days, the Liberals lost a former stronghold in Montreal, their Quebec lieutenant jumped ship, and the premier of Quebec called on MPs to bring down the federal Liberal government. The Liberal Party of Canada has had bad weeks before. This past week was one of the worst.
Harris campaign adviser Keisha Lance Bottoms on Friday brushed off vice president Kamala Harris’s viral comments about how she would shoot anyone who breaks into her home, calling the remarks a “joke.”
During a live-streamed rally hosted by Oprah Winfrey on Thursday, Harris mentioned being a gun owner and said, “If somebody breaks into my house, they’re getting shot.”

Is London a little bit tame for Nate Silver? The stats expert known for his hugely influential US election model is in town promoting a new book about risk, and can’t help noticing all the ways in which we play it safe on this side of the Atlantic. “You go to the tube in London and they have guard doors, which they don’t have in the subway in New York.” (He’s evidently been riding the Elizabeth line). Or, “You’re in an Uber and you don’t put your seatbelt on in the back seat, and there’s like the very polite British beeping,” he says, with a disarming, high-velocity giggle. Not that he minds too much – you get the impression he’s fond of the city, where he spent a year as a student, and in any case “both countries are making different trade-offs” – the US has less regulation and higher growth, but lower life expectancy: the very definition of live fast, die young.
Founded in 1982, the Lebanese paramilitary group now claims to have 100,000 fighters — and has formed an uneasy partnership with Hamas against its old foe Israel
A senior Hezbollah figure was walking along a quiet Damascus street one February evening after dinner in 2008 when a bomb planted in a spare tyre on the back of an SUV exploded.
Imad Mughniyah, Hezbollah’s international operations chief, was killed in the burst of shrapnel. It emerged that the CIA had built the bomb. Mossad, the Israeli foreign intelligence agency, triggered it remotely from Tel Aviv.
Mughniyah was on the “hit list” for his role in a bombing on the American embassy in Beirut, in 1983.
Prior to their respective assassination attempts targeting Trump, Ryan Routh and Thomas Crooks had extraordinary proximity to U.S. Intelligence, demonstrated foreknowledge of Trump’s schedule and security, and acquired skills that intelligence agencies have a history of sharing with assets.
“Kamala demands a life of luxury,” a former aide revealed. “She treats the campaign like a personal checking account to fund a lifestyle she aspires to,” another aide warned.
“Staff has always worried about Kamala’s spending, but she is adamant about using campaign money as she wants,” that aide on her former Senate campaign said.
Despite possible evidence of hundreds of graves at former schools for Indigenous children, challenges in making a clear conclusion have given rise to skeptics.
The revelation convulsed all of Canada.
Ground-penetrating radar had found possible signs of 215 unmarked graves at a former residential school in British Columbia run by the Catholic Church that the government had once used to assimilate Indigenous children forcibly taken from their families.
It was the first of some 80 former schools where indications of possible unmarked graves were discovered, and it produced a wave of sorrow and shock in a country that has long struggled with the legacy of its treatment of Indigenous people. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ordered flags to fly at half-staff, as many Canadians wore orange T-shirts with the slogan “Every Child Matters.”
Three years later, though, no remains have been exhumed and identified.
What lies beneath is called Bullshit.
Brooklyn’s grim Metropolitan detention center (MDC) is now for the foreseeable future home to Diddy, AKA Sean Combs, one of the most well-known voices in American entertainment whose business empire once seemed to know no bounds.
The MDC is 5 miles (8km) from the public housing projects in Bedford-Stuyvesant where Combs’s biggest Bad Boy Records star, Biggie Smalls, grew up, but more than 20 miles from the middle-class suburb of Mount Vernon, where Combs himself was raised.
Smalls was murdered in Los Angeles in 1997, but Combs went on to amass a fortune and global fame by marrying street attitude to luxury consumer capitalism. But that all crashed and burned last week. On Wednesday a New York judge rejected a $50m bail package for Combs, in part because of witness intimidation allegations, ahead of his trial on three criminal counts, including racketeering conspiracy; sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion; and transportation to engage in prostitution.
I wonder if names will be named?
A failure to teach anti-racism in schools helped to cause the UK’s summer riots. That’s the opinion of Funmilola Stewart, a diversity and inclusion specialist, and one of 12 individuals recently appointed by Labour education secretary Bridget Phillipson to advise on a review of the English school curriculum.
Current approaches to outer space are “heavily Western, state-centric, militarized, masculinized, and colonial,” and encourage practices that are “racist, exploitative, elitist, and environmentally destructive.”
That’s according to an intersectional feminist report on outer space bankrolled by the Department of National Defence to the tune of $32,250 in taxpayer cash.
There’s a brief, delicious little vignette at the beginning of military historian Tim Cook’s latest book that neatly captures the essence of Canada’s decades-long national security and defence relationship with the United States.
Speaking in Kingston, Ont. with Prime Minister William Lyon Mackenzie King at his side, President Franklin D. Roosevelt declared that “the people of the United States would not stand idly by if domination of Canadian soil is threatened by any other Empire.”
Seizing territory, having boots on the ground will never fall out of war’s fashion but how they are fought in the coming age of AI may determine the necessity of allies.
