Canadians Are Feeling Less Squeezed — But Fraud Is Rewriting How We Manage Credit

  New data from TransUnion's Q2 2026 Canada Consumer Pulse Study, released July 22, 2026 There's a small but real shift happening in Canadian households right now. After years of headlines about affordability and inflation, a new survey suggests things are slightly less bleak — but Canadians aren't relaxing.

Desperation in Gaza: Hunger Crisis Deepens Amid Looting

The Gaza Strip is witnessing a growing hunger crisis, marked by increased looting of food stores and community kitchens. Aid officials report that desperation has surged two months after Israel imposed a blockade on medical, fuel, and food supplies. At least five incidents of looting were recorded recently, including thefts at community kitchens, merchants' stores, and the UN Palestinian refugee agency's main complex.

The looting reflects the dire situation in Gaza, where hunger and hopelessness are spreading rapidly. Community kitchens, which have been lifelines for hundreds of thousands of Palestinians, are now at risk of closure due to dwindling supplies and looting. Acute malnutrition among children is worsening, with thousands of cases identified, including severe instances.

The blockade, enforced since March 2, has led to skyrocketing food prices and shortages of essential items. Aid organizations warn that the situation is reaching unprecedented levels, with humanitarian efforts hindered by operational and security constraints.

The crisis underscores the urgent need for international intervention to address the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in Gaza.
