Why I Switched My Bank Account… And Saved Thousands
– ratesupermarket.ca
Back around the turn of the century (when we switched from the 1900s to 2000s, that is), I landed the one-and-only full-time job I’ve had in my career, as a junior editor with Cottage Life magazine. The new job meant lots of changes for me, including a steady paycheque, my first apartment, and the bills that come with being a renter. So money management was always top of mind. When a colleague mentioned the amount of money that she was saving with a no-fee bank account, I quickly jumped on the bandwagon.
Goodbye TD, Hello PC
My mother had worked for much her life as a teller for TD Bank so, growing up, I always did my banking there. I still recall as a kid gleefully adding up all the “free” money I earned in interest on my limited balance. But, as I got older, I was continually frustrated by how the various fees would more than wipe out the piddly amount of interest my savings earned.

China, Venezuela deepen economic ties during state visit to Latin American country
– canadianbusiness.com
CARACAS, Venezuela – China approved a $4 billion credit line and a flurry of new co-operative agreements Monday with Venezuela, its chief economic partner in Latin America.
Chinese President Xi Jingping and Venezuelan President Nicolas Maduro announced the initiatives during a joint news conference in Caracas.
The credit line will support an economic development fund and will be repaid by oil shipments.
Venezuela’s socialist government has received roughly $50 billion from China in recent years, paying for the loans with the country’s petroleum.
On Monday, Maduro said the practice of exchanging loans for oil “doesn’t create a heavy debt burden like the old systems.”
The 38 new agreements announced aim to strengthen economic ties between Venezuela and its main creditor through joint initiatives in industries including energy, mining and transportation. On Saturday, the China Development Bank opened a branch in Caracas.
Xi has been touring Latin America for more than a week and has also visited Brazil and Argentina…
