    Bank of Canada raises 4.5% Interest rates

    Canada Global (Web News) On Wednesday, the Bank of Canada increased its benchmark interest rate once more, but added that this could be the apex of the current tightening cycle.

    In its first move of 2023, the central bank lifted its policy rate by 25 basis points, to 4.5 percent. The Bank of Canada’s benchmark rate has not been this high since 2007.

    With its decision on Wednesday, the Bank of Canada increased borrowing costs for the eighth straight time, raising the benchmark rate by a total of 4.25 percentage points over the course of the previous year in a bid to contain inflation.

    The majority of economists anticipated the 25-basis-point change.

    However, the central bank stated in a statement released alongside the rate hike that it anticipates keeping the policy rate steady as it evaluates the results of its prior increases.

    The Bank also stated that the hold depends on whether the economy develops as predicted and that further increases are anticipated to bring inflation back to the target range of 2%.

    From a peak of 8.1% in mid-2022, headline inflation has declined, most recently measuring 6.3% in December. Food costs and certain other inflationary inputs are still under pressure.

  • Police arrested man after attempt to kidnap barista through drive-thru window

    Police arrested man after attempt to kidnap barista through drive-thru window

    Canada Global (Web News) A man who attempted to drag a barista through a drive-thru window in order to kidnap her was apprehended by police in Washington.

    On Monday, just after 5 a.m., a bungled abduction took place at a Beankini Espresso store. The Auburn, Washington, police department tweeted a video of the incident.

    The attacker, who has not been officially recognised, is seen in the video pulling up to the drive-thru window to pay for his order in a dark-colored Chevy Silverado. The customer grabs the barista’s wrist and pulls her forward as she reaches out of the window to give the driver payment.

    She manages to escape his hold, but not before he makes an effort to bind her wrists using what the police described as a “looped zip-tie device.”

    The attacker taps on the drive-thru window glass as the barista closes it before speeding away.

    On Tuesday, after receiving “huge support from the community,” a suspect who had the word “Chevrolet” tattooed on his left forearm was apprehended, according to police.

    Kolby Crossley, a spokesman for the Auburn Police Department, stated that the barista was working alone when the attack occurred.

    “They are in dangerous situations since they typically control such areas by themselves in the early morning while it is still dark. However, the barista did a fantastic job of defending herself and repelling the intruder, according to Crossley, as quoted by the local media site KIRO 7.

    In the upcoming days, according to Crossley, authorities will make additional details regarding the incident public.
