Prime rate unchanged!

We had a fabulous weekend. After having missed it for a few years, we made it to the Lilace Festival on Sunday.
Strollers are definitely needed, but not recommended! It was jam-packed with people and we could not go anywhere.
Nonetheless, it was a great day.

As expected, Bank of Canada left the interest rate unchanged.
The next rate hike maynot be until October?

Happy Easter! We will be full with turkey and ham this weekend.

What the analysts have to say about the rates?

We stopped at the new Lowe's on 16th Ave and Barlow Trail on the weekend and I was impressed; impressed with their service! Unlike other stores, we were greeted with many smiles. We were also able to find help when we needed it and they were very helpful.

We then headed to Home Depot and noticed a huge difference in customer service there too. That just shows competition really makes a difference.

It sure looks like Christmas outside, besides the slushy road, it's beautifuly out.

Bank of Canada decided to keep it's interest rate the same this week.
What is the economist saying about it?? Read the attached article.
