Bank of Canada raises interest rates for first time in 7 years

 

The Bank of Canada is hiking its key interest rate for the first time in seven years, joining the U.S. Federal Reserve in starting the process of undoing nearly a decade of easy money.

The bank raised its overnight lending rate to 0.75 per cent from 0.5 per cent Wednesday, citing “bolstered” confidence that the Canadian economy has finally turned the corner after years of sputtering growth

My Dine in the Sky Experience

 

So this month my girlfriend and I tried the dine in the sky event, where they hoist you up in a crane and serve you food more than 150 feet in the air.

The food was alright since there is no kitchen I think the meals were all pre-prepped. I did the the breakfast meal and was there early in the morning at 9am. Even though the summer has been quite warm, it was actually kind of chilly when your that high above the ground. Luckily the gave out some blankets for people like me who thought a jacket wasn't necessary.

Here I am just laying back relaxing and my face is red because I have Asian glow from drinking those mimosa's. Overall a good experience as it was an amazing view of the city at that point.
