Deep dives
Most Watched Shows on Netflix Revealed
Netflix released a report disclosing the most-watched shows on their platform, with surprising results. The top show, 'The Night Agent,' had over 800 million hours viewed, followed by 'Ginny and Georgia' and 'The Glory.' The disclosure showcases the popularity of original series and provides the most detailed insight from a streaming service to date.
Central Bankers Making Waves
Central bankers, such as Jerome Powell of the Federal Reserve, are gaining newfound praise and admiration. A year ago, their performance was criticized, but now they are being hailed as economic saviors. Inflation has fallen, allowing central bankers to shift their focus towards potential rate cuts and fostering economic growth. Their increased transparency aims to shape public perception, maintain economic stability, and manage market exuberance.
Dollarama's Impressive Performance
Discount store Dollarama has reported exceptional earnings, with a nearly 15% increase in sales and a nearly 30% increase in earnings. This success can be attributed to their fixed pricing model and widespread expansion across Canada. Additionally, rising grocery prices have prompted consumers to seek more affordable options, leading to increased volume for discount stores. This trading down trend reflects consumers' desire to spend less on everyday necessities amidst inflationary pressures.

Plus, the team discusses Canada’s Dollarama diet, whether Jerome Powell should be person of the year (YES), and why falling prices are actually a bad thing.
