But I looked into it recently, and they have added travel insurance to it.
JessHOST
So I was comparing it with my current credit card, which is the Scotiabank Passport, uh, Visa Infinite, and the Wellsimple one has basically all the same stuff that it has, except on the Wellsimple one, y- I got 2% cash back on, like, every purchase that I make.
JessHOST
So yeah, I dug into it and I ended up switching my credit card.
JessHOST
But I'm keeping my old Scotiabank one because it does also have some extra travel insurance stuff.
JessHOST
But now, on the Wellsimple one, I'm earning 2% cash back on everything, and it's no, like, categories.
JessHOST
Like, on my old one, it was like you get one point for this, two times the points for this, and blah, blah, blah.
James CorbettHOST
Then there's the issue of the precious metal vault underneath 4 World Trade Center.
James CorbettHOST
By some reports, these vaults held as much as one billion dollars' worth of gold and silver belonging to the COMEX Metals trading division, to various COMEX customers, and to the Bank of Nova Scotia.
James CorbettHOST
The New York Daily News reported that gold had been found in a delivery tunnel under 5 World Trade Center during the Ground Zero cleanup, although other reports indicate that the delivery tunnel merely had to be cleared so that they could reach the gold under 4 World Trade Center.
James CorbettHOST
Regardless, on the same day that the gold was recovered from the vault, then New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani called off the search and rescue teams, barring firefighters from searching for their fallen comrades in the pile.

The National Bank has hired Rick Hillier to advise on defense, apparently for getting his work around the COVID vaccine, which wasn't super good.
Nora LoretoHOST
And CIBC is also expanding its military banking program.
Steve WillardGUEST
And then also as they were, you know, digging out, they had to make sure that none of the metal was moving at all, so there was constant monitoring of that.
Steve WillardGUEST
But there was $200 million in a vault in Building 4 in the basement that belonged to the Bank of Nova Scotia, and nobody said too much, but it was about $50, I heard, that it took for them to get to the vault, and then they had to get power to it to get the electronics to work, and I still love them.
Steve WillardGUEST
Yeah.
Steve WillardGUEST
A hundred police officers and other, you know, I don't know which groups were there.

Derek Holt, economist at Scotiabank, called Trump's threat to prevent Canadian businesses from supplying US government agencies immaterial in a note to clients published Wednesday.
JaniceNARRATOR
Trump specifically cited multiple award schedule- schedules program, which covered roughly five hun- I'm sorry, $50 billion, that's US dollars, in purchases last year.
JaniceNARRATOR

Wendy MitchellHOST
So after struggling with all those boats in Venice, I wish I was going to be sitting in the Scotiabank doing back-to-back P&Is.

Anyways, Rabobank is saying that $2.25 on the overnight rate is the terminal rate, and there's trade weakness going on, and there's no way rates are going up.
MarcusHOST
You've got Scotiabank saying they're going to go up 75 basis points.
