Cryptocurrencies are volatile, risky and lack transparency. For banks and investors alike, that’s risky. “Some like to think ‘this time it’s different’,” Prof Patrick Augustin told PaperJam.lu. But for Augustin, crypto today recalls Lehman Brothers, the financial services firm whose collapse set the global financial crisis in motion in 2008. The similarities are striking. Like today’s crypto markets, Lehman Brothers complicated investment products that many buyers and sellers didn’t fully understand.

Tariff loophole fuelling Canadian warehouse sector

webfull — Thu, 26 Jun 2025 18:38:07 +0000

Tariffs drive up prices for businesses, but some companies are finding a creative loophole to avoid some US tariffs. When a company imports a tariffed good, it pays a tariff.

They can park products here until they sell them, and only pay tariffs on goods that are actually bound for the US market.
