Dividend Income From Some Canadian Bloggers - January 2023

On January 25, the Bank of Canada raised the interest rate by 0.25bps to 4.5%.  As usual, the big banks quickly raised their prime rate shortly after the Bank of Canada's interest rate hike.  

The Bank of Canada Governor as stated that the rate hike will be the last one for a while.  The effect of rate hikes take a while to go through the system.  This will hit home for a lot of people with mortgages on variable rate or when it comes time to renewal.  

We are likely to experience a recession in 2023, and interest rates will likely not decrease in 2023.

At the end of January, Loblaws removed the price freeze on their No Name products.  From what I seen at the grocery store, the prices were raised before this date.  This just adds more fuel to the inflation crisis we are all experiencing. 

I do 99% of my grocery shopping at Loblaw's stores (No Frills and Super Store) and noticed some of their No Name products have not been on the shelves for months.

The Rogers takeover of Shaw has not yet been completed and the date to complete the merger keeps getting extended.  This has been going on for about 2 years.
