Finally! A version of the Odyssey that will portray "historically accurate" versions of the Cyclops, Hades, and a woman who uses magic to turn men to pigs.

How ๐จ๐ฆ big banks turned mortgages into a nearly risk-free cash machine
๐นBig Six mortgage portfolio: $1.76T
๐นWrite-offs last 4 quarters: $168M; only 0.01% of total holdings
Why?
1๏ธโฃDefaults are rare by design: Stress test & severe default consequences keep borrowers paying.
2๏ธโฃThe Big 6 hold the safest mortgages.
3๏ธโฃ Even defaults barely hurt:
โข Under 20% down? Default insurance protects.
โข Over 20% down? Equity covers on most sales.

ALT A black-and-white photograph of a baseball player standing in a dugout area, holding a bat over his right shoulder. He wears a light-colored uniform with โMontrealโ written across the chest and a dark cap with a letter on the front. A belt and long sleeves are visible under the jersey. Behind him, spectators fill the stands, and a few people sit on the bench in the background. The player faces the camera with a neutral expression, the bat angled diagonally across his back.

Just read that 4,153,237 people got married last year, not to cause any trouble but shouldn't that be an even number?
This is a picture of my grandparents from what I believe to be the late 1920s in Kitchener Ontario. The article beside is a story from the Windsor Star about my grandfather and his Brough Superior Motorcycle which he used as a police officer near Chatham Ontario. โ at Kitchener, Ontario

Canadaโs ๐จ๐ฆJon Thurston pulls off what might be one of the greatest curling shots EVER - threading it through the port and hitting the thinnest of runbacks.
Absolutely unbelievable.

Great news. Canada draws the most amount of Foreign Direct Investment since 2007, highest in 18 years, while outflows at C$79 billion were the weakest since 2020.
