  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. That leaves just over half — 56% — who expect to pay their balance in full each month. The survey also found that 40% of respondents are spending more overall than they were a year ago, more than double the 18% who say they're spending less.

Jake Paul Defeats Mike Tyson in Lackluster Bout

 

In a highly anticipated yet ultimately disappointing boxing match, Jake Paul emerged victorious over the legendary Mike Tyson. The fight, held at AT&T Stadium in Texas, saw Paul win by unanimous decision after eight rounds of two-minute bouts. The judges scored the fight 80-72, 79-73, and 79-73 in favor of Paul.

Tyson, now 58 years old and having not competed professionally in 19 years, struggled to keep up with the younger and more athletic Paul. The bout was characterized by Tyson’s sluggish performance, landing only 18 punches compared to Paul’s 78. Despite receiving a hero’s welcome, Tyson’s performance left fans disappointed, with many booing as the fight concluded.

Paul, a 27-year-old YouTuber-turned-boxer, managed to keep Tyson at bay with effective jabs and accurate punches. The fight, streamed on Netflix, drew significant attention but failed to deliver the excitement many had hoped for. Post-fight, Tyson hinted at a possible future bout with Paul’s brother, Logan, despite the lackluster showing.

This victory marks Paul’s 11th professional win, further solidifying his controversial presence in the boxing world.
