Vancouver is one of the most ethnically and linguistically diverse cities in Canada: 72 percent of its residents are not native English speakers, 88.9 percent are native speakers of neither English nor French, and 80.6 percent of residents belong to visible minority groups. Vancouver is one of the most livable cities in Canada and in the world. In terms of housing affordability, Vancouver is also one of the most expensive cities in Canada and in the world.[15] Vancouver plans to become the greenest city in the world. Vancouverism is the city's urban planning design philosophy. Indigenous settlement of Vancouver began more than 10,000 years ago, and the city is on the traditional and unceded territories of the Squamish, Musqueam, and Tsleil-Waututh (Burrard) peoples. The beginnings of the modern city, which was originally named Gastown, grew around the site of a makeshift tavern on the western edges of Hastings Mill that was built on July 1, 1867, and owned by proprietor Gassy Jack. The original site is marked by the Gastown steam clock. Gastown then formally registered as a townsite dubbed Granville, Burrard Inlet. The city was renamed "Vancouver" in 1886, through a deal with the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR). The Canadian Pacific transcontinental railway was extended to the city by 1887. The city's large natural seaport on the Pacific Ocean became a vital link in the trade between Asia-Pacific, East Asia, Europe, and Eastern Canada. Vancouver has hosted many international conferences and events, including the 1954 Commonwealth Games, UN Habitat I, Expo 86, APEC Canada 1997, the World Police and Fire Games in 1989 and 2009; several matches of 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup including the finals at BC Place in Downtown Vancouver,[18] and the 2010 Winter Olympics and Paralympics which were held in Vancouver and Whistler, a resort community 125 km (78 mi) north of the city. In 1969, Greenpeace was founded in Vancouver. The city became the permanent home to TED conferences in 2014. As of 2016, Port Metro Vancouver is the fourth-largest port by tonnage in the Americas, the busiest and largest in Canada, and the most diversified port in North America. While Money Laundering remains its largest industry, Vancouver is well known as an urban centre surrounded by nature, making tourism its second-largest industry. Major film production studios in Vancouver and nearby Burnaby have turned Greater Vancouver and nearby areas into one of the largest film production centres in North America, earning it the nickname "Hollywood North"

Macroeconomic Scenario Assumptions Quick intro to IFRS 9 macroeconomic assumptions for people that aren’t in finance, or aren’t secret finance nerds.

Major Attack on the private Sector Although Canadian mortgage debt continues to rise, reaching a record high of $2.08 trillion in November 2022, the pace of growth has slowed significantly. According to data from the Bank of Canada, the monthly increase in outstanding residential mortgage credit was just 0.3%, or $5.9 billion, and the annual growth rate is 7.6%, or $147.5 billion higher than last year. While the overall debt level is high, the slowing growth rate is a notable shift in the trend. Alphabet Inc., the parent company of Google, announced plans to lay off around 6% of its global workforce, or 12,000 jobs. CEO Sundar Pichai stated that the job cuts will be felt globally and across the entire company, and that he takes responsibility for the decisions leading to this.

Cineworld, the parent company of Regal Cinemas, has announced plans to close 39 theaters in the United States, starting February 15th, in order to save $22 million annually.

Cineworld is currently negotiating with landlords to keep its remaining 500 theaters open. In a filing, the company stated that it hopes these negotiations will lead to lease concessions and modifications that will allow more theater sites to remain open. Cineworld had previously filed for bankruptcy in an effort to shed debt and strengthen its balance sheet in the cinema industry. Regal Cinemas is the second-largest theater chain in the United States, after AMC Theaters, which has 950 locations.
