Canadian Businesses Feel Middle East War's Pinch
Description

Households predict a weaker economy and pricier goods, with twenty-one percent canceling or delaying trips and twenty-eight percent cutting back on big spending. The Bank of Canada is monitoring short-term gas price spikes, with their next rate call on April twenty-ninth.
