Italy approves 40% windfall tax on banks
While it might not directly relate to Canadian Finance News, I believe we could implement a similar regulation for big banks in Canada. Currently, none of these banks have raised their deposit interest rates, and I think this practice should become the standard.

Tangerine extends promotional interest rate offers to existing customers as well. As a long-standing customer myself, I recently benefited from 5.25% offer just last month.

I've set up megathreads for sharing referral codes in both communities. If you happen to have a WS referral code, feel free to drop it here!
Just to keep things fair and unbiased, I won't be joining in on the referral code sharing. Thanks a bunch!

Yes, According to a recent article and insights from University of Ottawa law professor Michael Geist, who holds the Canada Research Chair in internet and e-commerce law, it becomes evident why Australia was successful in striking a deal with Facebook to retain news content.

This man had a 'poor' credit rating because of a glitch at Equifax. Now, he's warning others

Although I agree with the sentiment, I believe that checking your credit report only once a year leaves too long of a gap, especially in this modern age of rampant identity theft and frequent data breaches.
I strongly advise everyone to sign up for Credit Karma & Borrowell, which allows you to check your credit score and report every month. These apps also provide helpful notifications for significant changes in your score, helping you stay vigilant against potential threats.

Do Horizon ETFs typically increase their $CASH.TO distribution soon after a Bank of Canada rate increase? I’m curious if you’re familiar with the historical trend behind it.

Thank you for your input! I didn't realize that net worth in stocks, GICs, HISA & registered accounts could be considered eligible assets for borrowing in Canada, which is fantastic. I'm definitely going to look into this further.
Regarding Interactive Brokers, I have some reservations about their management style, especially after their chairman, who is also their largest shareholder, criticized retail investors during the GME short squeeze, suggesting that normal people buying and holding a stock and causing a squeeze is manipulation. It makes me question their trustworthiness.
I truly appreciate your insights and find them enlightening.
Thanks for sharing!
