BANK OF CANADA UPDATE
Bank of Canada drops Rate!
As we had all expected, the Bank of Canada reduced it’s rate a further .25% in response to the gradual lowering of the inflation rate which currently sits at 2.5% - a slight drop from 2.7% in June 2024.
We’re getting closer to the 2% target the BOC is aiming for. This is welcomed news :)

RICHMOND FOODCOURTS.
Cash Only …
One of the crazy things about our food scene in Richmond is the “Cash Only” phenomenon!
I’ve been caught out!
I said, “I’ll get the Bill, Tony!!!”. After some debate I trot off to pay … CASH ONLY!
Now what do I do because I seldom carry cash. Embarrassed, I head back to our table … hey Tony lol …
The moral of the story: If you plan to eat out in Richmond, make sure the restaurant or vendor accepts payments other than cash. Buy the way some accept AliPay which isn’t much help to me either hehe.
