Canada's anti-money laundering agency is looking to introduce a system that gives financial institutions and other businesses real-time feedback through scorecards, two sources said, as the regulator ramps up initiatives to tackle financial crime. The proposed reporting system follows stricter financial crime penalties in Canada announced earlier this week after the country's No. 2 bank TD was ordered to pay a record US$3 billion fine and pleaded guilty in a historic U.S. money laundering case in October. The regulator, Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC), is looking at technology, including AI, to deliver the scorecard and is expected to introduce it next year, one source said. FINTRAC aims to give more real-time feedback to reporting entities to improve collaboration across the industry, another source said. Canada's federal government made new proposals in its fall economic statement on Monday to give the regulator more powers, including increasing financial penalties by as much as 40 times and issuing compliance orders. U.S. regulators' probe into TD Bank resulted in calls for stronger regulations in Canada. In pleading guilty, TD admitted former employees helped criminals launder millions of dollars. Canadian banks TD, Royal Bank of Canada and CIBC have been fined by FINTRAC in the past two years for failing to comply with money laundering and terrorist financing rules. Canada faces growing pressure to tackle financial crime ahead of a review by the Financial Action Task Force, an intergovernmental body made of up 40 international members.

1. A pullover hoodie you'll throw on faster than your friend's "I have a cold, I'm going to have to cancel tonight" text. It comes in *so* many colors you can absolutely stock up on 'em. Promising review: "THE MOST PERFECT HOODIE. I cannot say enough great things about these hoodies!! I already bought it in seven different colors. The perfect comfortable basic to add to your wardrobe. Great quality. Soft and thick material. You definitely need this. I would pay double the price for it tbh!" — Michelle Gramlich Get it from Amazon for $44.99 (available in women's sizes 2XS–2XL, 3X–4X, and in 42 styles). 2. A foot massaging machine you can use to apply acupressure on the bothersome parts of your feet — it'll be so much nicer than walking around a bar in heels. Read more about reflexology, acupressure, and how it can help with stress at Cleveland Clinic . Promising review: "We got this for our mom who has neuropathy and her feet are always cold and numb. We've bought all sorts of things to make her feet feel better, like heated socks, foot baths, compression devices for her legs and feet ... nothing worked. So we were skeptical when we bought the Miko foot massager, even though it kept coming up as one of the top foot massagers in our research. We've been pleasantly surprised (shocked actually) at how much our mom LOVES it. It has an automatic setting for 15 minutes, and she just keeps pushing the start button for hours at a time! The combination of a little heat, the rollers and the compression all work together to give her feet a nice massage . She keeps things on the high setting so she's able to feel it. There are definitely less expensive foot massagers out there, but this one actually works , so was WELL worth the money!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $139+ (available in two styles). 3.

Promising review: "I like all the things about this bed warmer. I had one in the past and got rid of it because we could feel the wires as we laid on them. Not this one. It works well. Just need to figure out what number setting I want. I also really like the timer setting since I often freeze as I go to sleep and then boil half way through the night. But not anymore!! :)" — Fairmaiden Get it from Amazon for $55.96+ (available in twin–California king sizing). 4. A "Cup Cozy Pillow" — aka an absolute essential for achieving peak comfort goals in your living room. It features a spot to hold your remote, two mugs, and two additional beverages.

Promising review : "Kendra Norton’s beautiful art books, Reverse Coloring books, have changed my world! My whole life I thought I was not creative and therefore had zero artistic ability. Now this has become my favorite form of artistic expression. I turn on music and/or an audiobook and allow myself to go for an adventure outside of my mind, beyond my mind, if you will. T his has become my favorite way to process through difficult emotions and experiences I’m working through ." — K. DeWitt Get it from Amazon for $8.29 . 6.

This was way better than expected. Definitely only need one waffle per person, they are huge. They are beyond delicious and the stuffing options are endless. It does take about seven minutes to make one waffle but totally worth it. Comes out perfect every single time. No issues at all. Buy it now!" — armywife Get it from Amazon for $49.99 . 7. A "flaming" humidifier for anyone who cherishes nothing more than cozy cottagecore vibes, soothing aromatherapy, and sleeping amongst delightfully hydrated air. Promising review : "I like how this diffuser kind of looks like a mini fireplace and it’s perfect for winter. I also like how long the water of this diffuser lasts — I always add my favorite essential oil in it when I go to sleep every night without worrying it will run out of water. I used to have insomnia and it helped me to sleep through the night with my relaxing essential oil scent, and it also worked as a humidifier." — Benny Get it from Amazon for $32.99 (available in two colors). 8.

I’ve used it to create a calm ambience in my room with the orange setting, as well as, added fun lighting to a karaoke party with the blue setting. It has a weighty base and a reasonably long cord.

It perfectly fits on nightstands and is designed to *~aesthetically~* hold your spot — it also has a place to put your glasses, a coffee mug, and even a phone. How much better does this evening sound than shouting across the table in a crowded restaurant? Sign me up. This is an ~Uncommon Goods original~ and you can see more on their TikTok ! Promising review : "When I saw this Book Nook, I was thrilled. I bought it for myself and it's perfect. Not only can you use the round spot for a cup of tea or coffee, I put my candle on there. If you don't wear glasses, your remote might fit perfectly in that spot. There is a little triangular nook for your phone. But the best thing is that you can save your spot in your book. My books are always tossed around and I can't find my bookmarks. I'm going to buy one of these for all the rooms where I read. This makes an excellent gift." — MJ Get it from Uncommon Goods for $50 . 11.

A foot heater for anyone with perpetually cold tootsies — fire this bad boy up, turn on The Great British Baking Show , and enjoy the warmth you’re guaranteed to feel from head-to-toe (literally). Promising review: "I love this product. It's well built, nice neutral colors to blend into my carpet, so it's not an eyesore wherever I have it sitting. The fuzziness lends a cozy feel to it, as well. It offers a heat or no-heat setting and two directions for the shiatsu-style massagers to work on your heels. The inside is roomy enough that you can even turn your feet on their side to get an extra massage there as well. It's a gentle yet deep massage, so it's great for days when you've been standing for hours or walking on your feet a lot. I would recommend to anyone looking for a nice foot massager." — Gardener Get it from Amazon for $49.99 (available in two colors). 15. A cleverly designed rechargeable electric candle lighter with a flexible neck to light every candle in your house to create the *perfect* ambiance without concern you'll run out of lighter fluid.

I love that they're made of soy and beeswax for clean, beautiful burning and the scents are absolutely delightful. They're not too heavy or overpowering and the jars are the perfect addition to my home's cozy winter vibes. Promising review: "The scent of this candle couldn’t be more cozy, wintry or Christmasy! Is very pleasant, and perfect for the holiday season. Burn time is accurate I would say. The candle tin is also very cute and festive." — Elaine Rehder Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in three scents and sizes). 17. A floral-inspired dimmable candle-warmer lamp you can safely use to bring the scent of your favorite candle to your home (no flames necessary).

So far, the lamp works great. It doesn’t put out a lot of heat and I love that you can adjust the light. This is now going to be my go-to gift. " — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $35.98 (available in 10 styles). 18. Or a set of remote-controlled flameless candles so you can set up the cozy corner of your dreams without worrying about starting a not-so-cozy fire. 😅 Each candle requires 3 AAA batteries . Promising review: "I bought one set and loved them so much I bought two more sets. They're the most realistic looking fake candles I've bought so far. The 'flame' up close obviously doesn't look real but from afar with the flicker setting on, you almost can't tell these aren't real. They also put out a decent amount of light for being fake. Gives my living room a very cozy feel which is what I wanted. Remote works great as well. " — suckerforcats Get a set of three from Amazon for $25.99 (available in five styles). 19. A homebody sticker for my fellow '90s girlies who have *never* felt more at home than squatting in that all-too-memorable yellow playhouse with the pink door and light green shutters.

I look forward to future volumes but this one will keep me busy for a while!" — Liz Gately Get it from Amazon for $12.99 . If you want to keep the fun going you can *also* snag Murdle: Volume 2 and Murdle: Volume 3 for more puzzling. 21.

I totally slept in it last night and it's perfect for rolling out of bed when it's 40 degrees outside, which makes the floors cold. My feet may be cold, but the rest of me sure isn't! 😀👍" — Eden Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in kids and adults sizes and 28 styles). 24. A new cookbook from Prue Leith (yes, the famed The Great British Bake Off judge!) filled with a variety of exciting recipes — perfect for someone who enjoys unwinding by cooking (and even better for their roommate who gets to eat all the stress-fueled cooking).

The problem I envisioned was that the legs would deflect as I used the support — nope! Not at all! It's flexible AND stable in just the right way.

TORONTO — Canada's main stock index lost more than 100 points Tuesday ahead of an expected interest rate cut Wednesday, while U.S. markets were also down. The S&P/TSX composite index closed down 121.09 points at 25,504.33. In New York, the Dow Jones industrial average was down 154.10 points at 44,247.83. The S&P 500 index was down 17.94 points at 6,034.91, while the Nasdaq composite was down 49.45 points at 19,687.24. “Relative to the churn we have seen in the markets the last few days ... today being a little bit of a boring day would be fairly welcome for many investors,” said Stephen Duench, vice-president and portfolio manager for AGF Investments Inc. Wednesday is set to be more exciting, with an interest rate cut expected in Canada and important consumer inflation data coming in the U.S. “I do expect a little bit more fireworks tomorrow,” said Duench. The Bank of Canada is widely expected to announce an outsized cut Wednesday of half a percentage point, he said. “Anything other than that would be a surprise.” The U.S. Federal Reserve has its last decision of the year scheduled for next week, and market watchers are leaning toward a smaller quarter-percentage-point cut there, said Duench. It would be the third cut this year after the central bank hiked rates to a two-decade high to fight inflation. The inflation report will be the last significant data point before the central bank’s decision, Duench said. If the inflation report shows price growth is proving more stubborn than expected, that could change the Fed’s thinking on rates next week, he said. “Maybe that's part of the reason we've seen churn in the market the last few days in the U.S.” Beneath the surface, there was some movement in the tech sector, where Oracle sank 6.7 per cent after its latest earnings report missed expectations. Meanwhile, Google's stock price rose by more than five per cent. The company on Tuesday unveiled its new chip meant for quantum computing. Duench said after the advent of artificial technology led a rally earlier this year, quantum computing could be another frontier for investors to keep an eye on. The Canadian dollar traded for 70.59 cents US compared with 70.77 cents US on Monday. The January crude oil contract was up 12 cents at US$68.59 per barrel and the January natural gas contract was down two cents at US$3.16 per mmBTU. The February gold contract was up US$32.60 at US$2,718.40 an ounce and the March copper contract was down less than a penny at US$4.27 a pound. — With files from The Associated Press This report by The Canadian Press was first published Dec. 10, 2024.
