Vancouver police say three men have been stabbed in a series of attacks that began on the city's Downtown Eastside yesterday afternoon.

A written statement from police says investigators are trying to determine if the stabbings are linked, but the public is not believed to be at risk.

A 27 year old suspect was arrested after the first attack in a social housing complex at about 1 pm yesterday but Constable Tania Visintin says the other two victims were stabbed early this morning and no arrests have been made.

She says the 27 year old suspect was tracked to an apartment building where he was found unresponsive from a drug overdose but officers revived him and Visintin says charges against him are expected.

Bank of Canada Presents Two Economic Scenarios Amid Trade War Uncertainty

The Bank of Canada has presented two possible scenarios instead of precise economic forecasts for the first time since COVID, one of which predicts a deep recession and a possible increase in inflation in Canada. The bank’s first scenario assumes that if tariffs are withdrawn through negotiations, the economy will only stagnate in the second quarter, after which it will gradually grow back. But the second scenario is that if the trade war lasts longer, the Canadian economy will go into recession for a year and inflation will rise to 3.5 per cent by mid-2026. Governor Tiff McCallum said that

Canada’s $7-Billion Pharmaceutical Exports to U.S. at Risk Amid Tariff Threat

The move places Canadian pharmaceutical products at risk of being included in a sweeping round of trade measures. Pharmaceuticals, along with automobiles and electronics, are among the top U.S. imports now facing potential tariffs. US President Donald Trump recently signaled aggressive action, stating that tariffs on pharmaceuticals will reach levels "you've never seen before." In addition to pharm
