As widely expected, the Bank of Canada (BOC) kept interest rates unchanged at 2.75% in July, marking its third consecutive hold as policymakers grapple with persistent U.S. trade uncertainty and mixed domestic economic signals. This decision came as Governor Tiff Macklem acknowledged that tariffs are causing permanent economic damage, stating that while growth will resume, “it’ll be on a permanently lower path.” Key Points from BOC’s Event: Rate unchanged: Overnight rate held at 2.75%, with Bank Rate at 3% and deposit rate at 2.70% Trade uncertainty persists: U.S. tariffs “still too unpredictable” to provide single economic forecast Economic contraction: Q2…

In 1926, Fritz Kahn, a Ger­man gyne­col­o­gist and anato­my text­book author, pro­duced a lith­o­graph called Der Men­sch als Indus­triepalast (Man as Indus­tri­al Palace) that depict­ed the human body as a fac­to­ry, a chem­i­cal plant of sorts.

A good comedy must be funny; this shouldn’t be a debatable statement, and yet it would seem that as of late, too many studio efforts in the genre are making an effortful case for the contrary. Consider the earners of recent vintage: even in determinedly labeled comedies, humor is the pleasant diversion that greases the proceedings while we behold the CGI-laden stunts of Dwayne Johnson and Kevin Hart, gape at the immaculate visages of Glen Powell and Sydney Sweeney, or ponder the confining roles of womanhood with our pal Barbie. The platonic ideal of a comedy as a machine that extracts laughter — and that…
