Russia warns against any ships traveling to Ukraine from Thursday
Russia warned that from Thursday any ships traveling to Ukraine's Black Sea ports will be seen as possibly carrying military cargoes after Ukraine said it was setting up a temporary shipping route to try and continue its grain exports. The moves by both countries on Wednesday came just days after Russia quit a deal — brokered by the United Nations and Turkey — that allowed the safe Black Sea export of Ukraine grain for the past year, and revoked its guarantees of safe navigation.

Fintech lenders tighten lending standards, bolstering debt financing
During the Covid-19 pandemic, many fintechs began lending to borrowers with imperfect credit, but Wall Street investors were comfortable buying their asset-backed securities (ABS) as government stimulus ensured consumers had the money to meet repayments. ABS are a type of bond backed by a pool of assets, such as auto or credit card loans, which pay a fixed yield. They are a key source of financing for some fintech lenders, which have fewer funding options than banks.

Philip Cross: The Wall Street Journal asks a good question — does Canada belong in the G7?
A recent Wall Street Journal editorial suggested Canada should sit at the kiddies table in the NATO alliance instead of with the adults. This is because as a share of GDP our defence spending is seventh lowest among NATO’s 31 member nations. It’s also lowest among the G7, which prompted the Journal to question whether we are still willing to accept our responsibilities as a member of the G7. It concluded that if this country “doesn’t want to play that role, then the G-7 should consider a replacement.”
