The Bank of Canada has decided to maintain its policy interest rate for the fourth consecutive time, signaling a shift in monetary policy discussions. Instead of focusing on raising borrowing costs, the bank is now contemplating how long it should wait before considering rate cuts. This adjustment comes as the Canadian economy enters a phase of "excess supply."

In the much-anticipated decision, the bank has opted to keep its policy rate steady at 5%, maintaining the two-decade high set in July of last year.

The noteworthy change in language during Wednesday's announcement suggests a decreased likelihood of future rate hikes and introduces the possibility of rate cuts. Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem emphasized this shift, stating, "With overall demand in the economy no longer running ahead of supply, Governing Council’s discussion of monetary policy is shifting from whether our policy rate is restrictive enough to restore price stability to how long it needs to stay at the current level." While not ruling out further hikes completely, Macklem hinted at their unlikelihood if inflation and economic activity align with the bank's projections.

Family and friends,

Operation Turkey Drive is a charitable organization and we are asking you for support.

We are a few days away from packing turkey dinners to feed 2,500 families of four who are in need.

This video is a snippet of what happens during Turkey Drive Day. Behind the scenes, throughout the year, members of the Operation Turkey Drive committee, alongside their colleagues, families, friends and sponsors continue to raise funds.

We appreciate all the support we’ve received thus far, but we still need your help!

HERE ARE WAYS YOU CAN HELP:
Click this link to donate https://www.canadahelps.org/en/charities/community-support/ A tax receipt will be issued to you within minutes of your donation. This is the only option that provides an immediate tax receipt.

Send an email transfer directly by sending your donation to [email protected]. Also put the realtor’s name in the notes area so that they are notified and can thank you.

Make a cheque payable to Operation Turkey Drive in the amount $50 for each of the families you wish to sponsor, there is no limit. In the memo section please write “Turkey Drive”. The realtor would be happy to drop by and pick it up or you can drop it off or send it to Keller Williams Energy, 285 Taunton Rd East, Oshawa, ON L1G 3V2, to the realtor’s attention.

A full dinner is $50, but more or less, it all helps! Thank you for making a difference!
