Statement from BOC and dept of finance on Reuters. No further details

Nothing on their website as yet but today’s statement from the govt repeats their position from the debt management strategy released in Feb saying it would look at 50-year bonds. Currently the longest is 30 years

Ultra-long bonds such as this could help the Canadian govt lock in borrowing costs that are near historic lows with its undisputed AAA rating

And talking of Canadians our beloved leader is going to be in a little late today so you’ve got me for a bit longer yet

No peace for the wicked they say!
