Bank of Canada lowers interest rate to 2.5% in first cut since MarchCBCJenna BenchetritSep 17, 2025

You may find 'nobility' in a savage. But never forget that his first instinct is to kill you.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.
