Bank of Canada cuts key interest rate to 3%, Green Line LRT approval by city councillors, & Calgary's culinary scene

WELCOME TO THE MWSA PODCAST FOR WEDNESDAY, JAN 29TH For the 6th consecutive time, the Bank of Canada has cut interest rates – as the inflation rate remains around 2-percent, and the threat of US Tariffs Loom. We took a look at the latest rate reduction – and the impact it will have on Canadian homeowners – with Penelope Graham, Mortgage Expert at ‘Ratehub.ca’. Next – the latest ‘Green Line LRT’ plan has been ‘green lit’ by City Council. This final plan was the latest put forth by the Provincial UCP Government – which came with some not so glowing remarks surrounding former Calgary Mayor – and current NDP Leader, Naheed Nenshi. We caught up with Mr. Nenshi to get his views on the plan – and reaction to having his name attached to the controversial project. And finally – she’s all about the newest, latest and greatest offerings on Calgary’s culinary ‘scene’. Linda Garson is Editor-in-Chief of “Culinaire Magazine” – we ‘flip through’ the pages of the latest edition – which features our love of Java – and the growing popularity of miso soup among Calgary foodies.
