Published: October 15, 2026 at 7:26a.m. EDTOttawa has deemed a proposed West Coast oil pipeline a national-interest in a push to expand Canada’s energy sector. Abigail Bimman reports. CALGARY — The silence from many Alberta business leaders on the upcoming provincial referendum comes as no surprise to one corporate leadership expert. Monday’s vote includes 10 questions: one on whether Alberta should remain in Canada or move toward a binding separation referendum; five on immigration and four on constitutional matters. Richard Leblanc, a professor of governance, law and ethics at York University, says there’s a tradition in Canada for CEOs to stay in their lanes and not risk alienating shareholders or employees by taking a political stand. But Leblanc says there may be times a company’s board of directors agrees that a CEO should speak out on a matter that affects the well-being of the business, as Alberta taking steps toward a potential split from Canada arguably would.

BNN Bloomberg is Canada’s definitive source for business news dedicated exclusively to helping Canadians invest and build their businesses. A U. S. banking regulator has identified Bank of Montreal and TD Bank, along with seven other lenders, in a report about debanking and limiting access to financial services for certain U. S. customers due to their political beliefs. The U. S. Office of the Comptroller of the Currency released a report based on findings from a supervisory review of debanking activities at nine of the largest banks it oversees, based on 100,000 complaints at OCC-regulated institutions and hundreds of individual bank decisions.

When it comes to food, Caroline Bauldree does not like to “deprive” herself of anything. She does not like to cook either, so that means a lot of food deliveries. “If I want sushi, I’m getting sushi,” said the 24-year-old nanny, who lives in Raleigh, North Carolina. “I’m definitely lazy in that regard.”Bauldree got into the habit of near-daily DoorDashing back in college. “I could order whatever food from whatever restaurant and it showed up at my door – that’s the dream,” she said. “But then I just feel like crap about myself because I’m like, ‘wow, I’m a lazy piece of shit.’ Nine times out of 10, I feel bad about myself.”There is a term for that post-order clarity: delivery guilt. The pandemic turned food delivery apps such as DoorDash, Uber Eats and Grubhub, once only popular in major cities, into a full-fledged national lifestyle. One Purdue study found that two-thirds of consumers used a food-ordering app at least once in 2024; another recent survey from the marketing company FinanceBuzz in partnership with Bank of America found that 57% of Americans get takeout or delivery weekly or more.

But one veteran nurse says relying on them is a symptom of a deeper retention problem. (file) (JohnnyGreig/Getty Images)When Kathleen MacMillan hears health system officials say they can't find nurses, she questions the structures and processes in place to attract and retain the ones they have. "What we have now is nurses who love nursing and they hate their jobs," said MacMillan, who has been a registered nurse for more than 50 years and served as Ontario's provincial chief nursing officer. "It's not that you're short of nurses. They don't want to work for you,” MacMillan said.

Devices at international news network Al Jazeera were infected with mercenary spyware from Candiru (rebranded as “Integrity Labs”) via targeted online advertisements.

The local chair of the Canadian Federation of Students says increased provincial enrollment at Memorial University is proof that the tuition freeze is working. As of September 23, MUN’s total fall enrollment stood at just over 16,000 students. Newfoundland and Labrador students represented about 82 per cent of the university’s undergraduate enrollment this fall. Students from elsewhere in Canada made up 6.8 per cent of overall enrollment and international students just over 10 per cent. A long-standing tuition freeze at MUN was lifted in 2021, and last year tuition increased by four per cent. Education Minister Paul Dinn once again froze rates for the current year, vowing that the freeze would remain in place until the university proves its fiscal responsibility. Nicolas Keough – Chairperson of the Canadian Federation of Students Newfoundland and Labrador (VOCM News)Nicolas Keough is hoping that increased local enrollment shows government that tuition freezes work.

(Kitco NewsWire) – Spot gold and silver prices are solidly higher in early U. S. trading Thursday, rebounding from Wednesday's sharp losses as falling Treasury yields, a weaker U. S. dollar and renewed safe-haven demand outweighed another upside U. S. inflation surprise. A technology-led global equity selloff pushed investors toward government bonds and bullion, even as September producer prices rose much faster than expected. At the time of writing, spot gold was trading near $4,147.50 an ounce, up $43.00, or 1.05%, while spot silver was trading near $56.620, up $1.10, or 1.99%. Market positioning remains caught between persistent inflation and growing concerns about the sustainability of the AI-driven equity rally. September producer prices surged 1.3% on the month and 6.3% from a year earlier, the largest monthly advance since March 2022. Producer energy prices jumped 10.8%, including a 20.3% increase in gasoline. The report followed Wednesday's stronger-than-expected CPI, which showed headline inflation rising 0.6% on the month and 3.7% annually. September retail sales increased 0.8%, exceeding forecasts, although sales excluding autos and gasoline rose just 0.2%.

Longer-dated US Treasury yields fell to their lowest levels since September on Thursday on concerns about slowing AI growth and bets the Federal Reserve will hold rates steady at its next meeting. After hotter-than-expected retail sales and wholesale inflation data, yields pared declines briefly before resuming a drop ⁠that started ​during Asian trading hours, with benchmark 10-year and 30-year yields hitting their lowest levels since September 23. September’s US retail sales increased more than expected due to higher gasoline prices, but spending elsewhere was moderate, potentially tempering expectations for another quarter of robust consumer spending growth.

As grape harvest season gets underway across Niagara wine country, growers and wineries are taking stock of a year marked by trade upheaval, shifting consumer habits and sharply different fortunes across the industry. The harvest, one of the most important periods of the year for Ontario’s wine sector, comes after months of escalating trade tensions between Canada and the United States. The industry has weathered a series of tariffs, retaliatory measures and, most recently, a near-total U. S. import ban on Canadian wine, forcing producers to adapt to a dramatically altered marketplace.
