Quick Glance: Macklem Sees Limited Impact of Canada Budget on Fiscal Direction
- Bank of Canada Governor Tiff Macklem suggested Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s recent budget, which balanced increased spending with a capital gains tax hike and improved revenue forecasts, did not significantly contribute to inflationary pressures.

It was highlighted that Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland upheld her commitment regarding deficit maintenance and shortfall reduction goals for the future.
- The Governor emphasized the continued adherence of the budget to these guidelines, which was deemed beneficial. He refrained from delving into specific details of budget measures, emphasizing the responsibility of lawmakers to deliberate on the government's fiscal plan.
- Macklem expressed that the latest three inflation indicators showed a sustained downward trend, with the bank awaiting confirmation that this trend will persist to ensure the progress towards price stability is maintained.

vogue.co.uk/article/coachella-fashion-nostalgia
Quick Glance: The Longing for Past Coachella Fashion
- In the past at Coachella, the focus wasn't on what to wear but rather on which flower crown to pair with a macramé halter top.
- There seems to be a sense of indifference towards Coachella currently. The three-day festival used to sell out instantly. Lace boho dresses, floppy hats, and denim shorts were prevalent.
- The festival's fashion appeared to peak during that era, with the flower crown being particularly prominent.
- Today, there appears to be a lack of a shared sartorial experience that once made Coachella feel like an escape. Perhaps in the future, we may be able to find unity in fashion again. The uncertainty remains regarding the festival's timely recovery.

Quick Glance: Senate's Decision on Impeachment Charges Against Mayorkas
