[09:18] {dino} why is fxe ramping?
01[09:18] {@Threei} Hopes of ECB action tomorrow dampened by Nowotny comments
01[09:19] {@Threei} - ECB's Nowotny: ECB meeting will be an interesting one, but nothing to get overexcited about. He reiterated that did not expect deflation in Euro Zone. Harder to fight deflation than inflation, so must watch inflation developments 'closely'
01[09:19] {@Threei} - UBS's Weber (former ECB member): No matter what Draghi does, do not expect to see inflation rates close to target in Europe for years

01[09:38] {@Threei} (EU) Reportedly ECB to propose around €50B in QE bond purchases per month, with program continuing for at least one year, for minimum total purchases of €600B

01[09:39] {@Threei} IMF: Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) nations may have to revamp budgets on lower oil prices, but they have cash buffers to absorb the impact of lower prices - Middle East nations could lose $300M in oil export profits on lower oil prices.

01[12:14] {@Threei} The Bank of Canada lowered its benchmark rate to 0.75% from 1.00% in a surprise move this morning, for the bank's first rate move in more than four years. No economists were forecasting a rate cut, but with surprising moves like the Swiss National Bank and others ahead of the ECB's presumed QE program, the BoC's cut was not too shocking. The BoC said falling oil prices were pulling inflation lower and there was too much labor slack in the economy. USD/CAD jumped about two big figures, rising to around 1.2300 from 1.2070 in the wake of the decision.
01[12:14] {@Threei} The ECB policy meeting is tomorrow morning, but today brings another press report citing sources about the structure of a potential QE program. Just around the open of US cash equity trading, two major press sources released stories suggesting the ECB would be buying €50B in sovereign bonds a month for either one year or possibly through the end of 2016, for a minimum total purchase amount of €600B.

01[12:53] {@Threei} Leaving school-aged children home alone could become illegal if court convicts Winnipeg mother
[12:53] {RonS} 17 year olds?
01[12:54] {@Threei} in case before the court, it was a 6 years old
01[12:54] {@Threei} left alone for 90 min
01[12:55] {@Threei} n the case currently being decided, a Winnipeg mother was arrested soon after Child and Family Services became aware that she intentionally left her child unattended for 90 minutes as she ran errands.
01[12:55] {@Threei} The specific charge is child abandonment, which carries a maximum sentence of five years.
01[12:56] {@Threei} “Even in a home environment, that child was endangered,” prosecutor Nancy Fazenda argued Monday, according to the Winnipeg Free Press.
01[12:56] {@Threei} Although nothing bad happened, in 90 minutes, Ms. Fazenda argued, the child could have choked to death, electrocuted themselves or fallen down a set of stairs — not to mention the consequences of a sudden flood, fire or home invasion.
01[12:56] {@Threei} I say let's hang her
