OTTAWA — The Bank of Canada said on Thursday the overall risk to the Canadian financial system was slightly higher than in June 2018, and expressed concern about the increasing threat posed by fragile corporate debt funding.
The central bank cited a slowdown in economic growth, last year’s oil price slump, continuing problems in the energy sector and expanded risk-taking in global financial markets as reasons for the increased risk. In the review it said the main risks to the system remained a severe nationwide recession, a large house price correction and a sharp repricing of risk in financial markets. Canadian banks were well positioned to handle such challenges, it added.And for the first time, it specifically highlighted the risks posed in Canada and other nations by fragile corporate debt funding, especially among lower-rated companies.
Market participants continue to see cyber incidents as the greatest risk to the Canadian financial system, in particular problems at third-party service providers.

Bank of Canada identifies climate change as important economic weak spotThe Bank of Canada is highlighting its expanding concerns about climate change and, for the first time, is listing it among the top weak spots for the economy and the financial system. If the bank that is responsible for maintaining our currency’s value has swallowed the climate kool aid I have this advice for my fellow Canadians: Buy gold. The banks don't give a shit about climate change. It's because of banks and money that the world is going to shit. So is this why getting a mortgage will be even harder?!

Good Idea? Interest-Only Mortgages Have Come To CanadaCanada's 'boring' financial system kept us out of trouble during the financial crisis. Now they want to make things interesting. Uh oh. They have been here for years, Manulife, I had one with them 15 years ago. They do that here in South Korea buy it's only 1 year of interest payments. No biggie as long as you stay informed before you sign. It gives you a bit of a break to settle down, furnish your home, etc before the larger payments start.

Are worker camps in remote locations in Canada worth the human cost?Housing hundreds of men in work camps near First Nations communities can have devastating consequences, writes Kyle Edwards. the middle east is flooded with such camps. this type of human 'treatment' takes advantage of migrant workers working for low pay, questionable living/ working conditions ALL so they can send money home to their families. worldwide refugee crisis is feeding this 'worker' demand. A real problem to be mitigated. Not sure who is going to build all our remote infrastructure if we didn't house our work force locally.
