AI in the boardroom: KPMG Canada teamed up with OpenAI as an “Elite Partner” to help firms move past AI experiments into real workflow transformation, including faster deal document review. Payments & data sovereignty: Francisco Partners agreed to buy Moneris from BMO and RBC for about $2B, raising concerns in Canada about control of payments infrastructure. Retail tech spend: A new Grocery Tech Trends Study finds Canadian grocers are still investing in tech despite cost pressure, focusing on tools that improve operations and customer experience. Language training squeeze: Canada’s official language programs reported a 13% drop in students in 2025, blaming unpredictable visa policy. Corporate deals: Brookfield and La Caisse completed their acquisition of Boralex, while Lactalis agreed to buy Saputo’s UK dairy business for about £988M. Market watch: Global shares mostly rose on steadier rate expectations, while bitcoin held near $60,000.
