## Resource

Today on The Peak Daily , we break down a proposed mega-merger that could reshape the already concentrated elevator industry — and why Canada’s chronic elevator shortage and sky-high costs could get even worse. Then, we look at Canada’s selection as host of a new multinational defence bank designed to unlock cheaper, long-term funding for military projects, and what it could mean for Canadian defence manufacturing. Plus, in The Big Picture: the Bank of Canada and the U.S. Fed hold rates steady, families of Tumbler Ridge victims sue OpenAI, and Uber pushes deeper into travel.
