Bank of Canada Holds Rates Amid Growing Job Losses

from Scott Fox After 9 · host Scott Fox

Today on Scott Fox After 9, we break down the Bank of Canada's decision to hold interest rates steady and what that means for Canadians already feeling squeezed. Hear directly from Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem as Scott digs into why rate relief didn't come — and whether it's still on the horizon. The conversation also takes a hard look at the growing wave of job losses across Canada, and why economic warning signs are flashing despite official reassurances. Also on the show: a deep dive into the inter-provincial trade barriers that continue to limit Canada's economic potential, even as leaders talk about unity. Member of Parliament Michael Chong weighs in on why Canada still lacks a foreign influence registry, while U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent offers new comments on the now-infamous phone call between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Mark Carney. Plus, hear Ontario Premier Doug Ford and New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt discuss "Team Canada," cooperation between provinces, and what working together is supposed to look like — and a lot more.
