Ultralow interest rates widen the gap between assets and liabilities as expected returns plummet.Connacher wins court approval to seek bidders for its oilsands assets
– canadianbusiness.com
CALGARY _ Oilsands producer Connacher Oil and Gas Ltd. has won court approval for a process to find a buyer or investor that could allow it to emerge from Companies’ Creditors Arrangement Act protection after nearly two years.
A court ruling Wednesday approves the Calgary-based company’s agreement with its first lien lenders to launch a process that envisions a May 23 initial bid deadline and court approval of a transaction in July.
Connacher says in a news release it has appointed investment bank Houlihan Lokey Capital Inc. to solicit proposals that will provide net sale or investment proceeds of at least $90 million, plus an amount sufficient to pay claims with similar ranking to the first lien debtholders.
If no qualified bidder emerges, the company would be sold to its lenders in return for cancellation of a portion of what they are owed.
An attempt to sell the company soon after it filed for court protection from creditors in 2016 attracted several bids, but the company and its lenders ruled none was acceptable…

Dollarama to join e commerce rush, with plans to sell its low cost wares in bulk
– canadianbusiness.com
Dollarama Inc. plans to add bulk purchases of its low-priced offerings to the e-commerce rush later this year as it looks to capitalize on the success of its bricks-and-mortar discount stores, the company said Thursday as it reported fourth-quarter earnings were up 17 per cent.
But as competitors, including Candian grocers scramble to launch online sales to compete with online shopping behometh Amazon, CEO Neil Rossy tempered expectations about the extent of the rollout and its profit potential.
“By no means are we e-commerce experts,” he said. “We’re taking our time and doing lots of data testing and we’re somewhat introducing a new concept.”
He hopes to launch the platform by the end of the year and might first offer it in “a province or two” to get more feedback before it becomes available nationally.
So far, he said the system is “up and running internally,” but is still being tweaked.
Dollarama plans to use it to sell items from all of the categories of products it stocks in its 1,160 stores, but Rossy warned that there will be some limitations…

Statistics Canada says economy pulled back 0.1 per cent in January
– canadianbusiness.com
OTTAWA _ The Canadian economy contracted 0.1 per cent in January, hurt by unscheduled maintenance shutdowns in the oilpatch and weakness in the real estate sector following mortgage rule changes, Statistics Canada said Thursday
The agency said the drop in real gross domestic product for January compared with growth of 0.2 per cent in December.
Economists had expected an increase of 0.1 per cent for the first month of the year, according to Thomson Reuters.
“This year started off with more of a whimper than a bang, at least from a growth perspective,” TD Bank senior economist Brian DePratto wrote in a report.
“As usual though, the trend is more important than the noise. Clearly the pace of economic activity has moderated from last year’s red-hot first half performance, but this is to be expected in an economy with little slack remaining.”
Goods-producing industries fell 0.4 per cent in January, while services-producing industries was essentially unchanged for the month…
