As the pace of incoming news surrounding recent events in Venezuela starts to slow a bit, we have a chance to take a bit of breath and touch upon other stories.
We have updates of stories about the Parliamentary Budget Office, Chrystia Freeland being named an economic development adviser for Ukraine, and the Alberta Health Services scandal.
In addition, the so-called "Coalition of the Willing" on Ukraine get together to firm up security guarantees.
Finally, some members of Canada's banking sector are expressing increasing confidence in the Canadian economy.
