1 in 4 Canadians Can Only Afford the Minimum Payment on Their Credit Card

  Published August 24, 2026 · Canadian Money Brief A new survey from Equifax Canada puts a hard number on something a lot of us have felt creeping up all year: credit cards are doing more of the heavy lifting in Canadian budgets, and fewer people are paying them off. Of more than 1,500 Canadians surveyed, a quarter said they expect to make only the minimum monthly payment on their credit card, and another 7% think they'll fall behind entirely.

Massive Fish Die-Off Strikes Greek Tourist Port

 

In a shocking environmental event, the picturesque port city of Volos in central Greece has been inundated with thousands of dead fish. The mass die-off, which has left the waters and shores littered with rotting fish, is believed to be a consequence of recent extreme weather fluctuations.

Authorities have reported that over 100 tons of dead fish have been collected from the port and surrounding areas. The fish, primarily freshwater species, were displaced from their natural habitats by severe flooding and subsequently exposed to the salty waters of the port, leading to their demise.

The sight and stench of the decaying fish have dealt a significant blow to the local tourism industry, which relies heavily on the pristine condition of its coastal waters. Cleanup efforts are underway, with officials working tirelessly to restore the area to its former beauty.

Scientists have linked this environmental disaster to the broader impacts of climate change, highlighting the urgent need for sustainable practices to mitigate such occurrences in the future.
