Mike, as of last update, the BoC was buying ~$5bn worth of 🇨🇦 bonds a week so these are not normal times. For context re: creditworthiness, our bonds trade at similar yields to Greek bonds.

This is like getting an A+ on a paper you administered/graded yourself. Fitch downgraded 🇨🇦’s triple-A credit rating in June, dropping 🇨🇦 to an “AA+” rating over what it called “the deterioration of 🇨🇦’s public finances” due to C19. Context: Fitch rates Greece at BB-. (2/3)
