Hyatt Hotels has shut down eight resorts in Jamaica after the massive damage from Hurricane Melissa — and these properties won’t reopen until January 31st, 2026. That means hundreds of workers are now displaced, and one of the biggest names in tourism is temporarily offline.

Several hotels across the island have been forced to close as Jamaica’s tourism belt struggles to recover. Fewer rooms mean fewer visitors, fewer jobs, and less money flowing into communities that depend on tourism to survive.

The big question now: Can Jamaica rebuild fast enough to protect our 2026 tourism season — and the thousands of livelihoods tied to it?

Canva, led by CEO Melanie Perkins, is accelerating at lightning speed. The company—valued at US$42 billion—just saw its Affinity design suite hit nearly 2 million downloads within weeks of going free, while paid users flock to new AI-powered tools. Canva is positioning itself as one of the strongest players in the global design-tech space.

COO Cliff Obrecht says an IPO is “probably imminent in the next couple of years,” and analysts agree that Canva’s scale, revenue strength, and brand dominance make it one of the most anticipated listings ahead.

This could be a rare early opportunity for investors to watch—and prepare for—as Canva edges closer to the public market.

Canadian households are now spending over $800 more on groceries than last year, with food prices up 5–7% across key staples. Vegetables, meat, and bakery items are seeing some of the biggest jumps, driven by climate impacts, supply chain issues, and rising production costs. Even as overall inflation cools, food inflation refuses to drop — and Canadians are paying the price.

Families are cutting back, switching to discount stores, and buying fewer essentials just to survive the checkout line. Experts warn that unless supply pressures ease, grocery bills may keep rising into 2025.

For Canadians living paycheck to paycheck, this isn’t just inflation — it’s a crisis. Now more than ever, households need stronger financial planning to stay ahead of Canada’s cost-of-living storm.

MegaMart Wholesale Club has permanently closed its Montego Bay location following catastrophic flooding that left the entire store severely damaged. The destruction wiped out equipment, shelving, and inventory, forcing the retailer to shut its doors after 18 years and leaving 165 employees without work.

This closure is a major blow to western Jamaica’s economy, cutting off a key retail hub at a time when families and small businesses are already struggling to recover.

With losses still being assessed and no clear update on future plans, the big question remains: Will MegaMart rebuild and reopen — or is this store gone for good? Jamaica’s recovery now depends on how fast businesses, communities, and leaders can come together to rebuild stronger than before.

Hurricane Melissa has caused an estimated US$8 billion in damage, equal to 41% of Jamaica’s US$19.9 billion GDP. St. Elizabeth, St. James, and Westmoreland were the hardest hit, with US$5.5 billion in combined losses—63% of the national total. These figures were confirmed by the World Bank and will appear in an upcoming joint report with the Inter-American Development Bank.

As recovery begins, Jamaica has secured over US$250 million in immediate financial support, including the US$150 million catastrophe-bond payout and global donations from governments, NGOs, and private partners. It’s a crucial lifeline—but still only a fraction of what’s needed to rebuild homes, businesses, and livelihoods. The road to recovery will require coordination, investment, and resilience at every level.

Nvidia delivered another monster quarter, posting a 62% revenue surge, crushing every Wall Street estimate and widening the gap between itself and the rest of the tech market. With Q3 fiscal 2025 revenue at $35.08B, data-center sales hitting $30.8B, and demand for its AI chips described as “off the charts,” Nvidia is outperforming giants like Intel, AMD, and even Microsoft in growth momentum.

And with next quarter already tracking even stronger, investors are now asking the real question — is Nvidia becoming untouchable?

Bitcoin has fallen below $90,000 for the first time in seven months, wiping out most of its 2025 gains and rattling confidence across the crypto world. Analysts say the drop stems from rising interest-rate fears, nervous institutional investors, and faltering market sentiment.

This is a wake-up call: volatility is back, and no asset is safe from macro-economic shifts. If you have exposure to cryptocurrencies, it’s time to review your risk, consider diversification, and make sure you’re not relying on last year’s momentum.

Canada’s inflation rate dipped to 2.2% in October, helped by cheaper gas and the biggest monthly grocery price drop in over five years. But the picture isn’t as calm as it looks — prices are still climbing in key areas, and cellphone bills jumping 7.7% shows how quickly costs can turn again.

This isn’t a moment to relax. It’s a reminder that Canada’s economy is still fragile, and households need to prepare. Build your emergency fund, cut high-interest debt, and stay alert to shifting rates and rising costs. A cooling headline doesn’t mean a cooling reality — Canadians must protect themselves before the next spike hits.

Keisha Bailey, global financial strategist and CEO of Bailey Wealth Group, donated essential supplies to support Jamaicans impacted by Hurricane Melissa as communities work to rebuild after widespread devastation. Moments like these remind us that recovery is a collective effort, and every contribution—big or small—helps families get back on their feet.

We’re encouraging individuals, businesses, and community leaders to join in and give whatever they can to support the hardest-hit areas so we can rebuild a stronger, more resilient Jamaica together.

17/11/2025

Two weeks after Hurricane Melissa, Jamaica may look steady—banks are open, ATMs are working, and telecoms are mostly restored. But the real story is on the ground. Farmers, market vendors, and small business owners have lost crops, income, and inventory. Many families in St Elizabeth, Manchester, and Westmoreland are homeless and struggling just to get through the day. Damage is now in the billions and far from recovery.

Donations are coming in, but rebuilding will take time. Jamaica urgently needs fast support to the hardest-hit communities, stable food prices while farms recover, and stronger infrastructure to survive future storms. For new investors, this is a moment to stay calm, protect your emergency fund, and focus on long-term strategies—not panic decisions.

Prime Minister Mark Carney has launched a massive national plan built on mega-projects—housing development, transit expansion, energy upgrades, and major public works—to push Canada into a new era of growth. These projects could open real opportunities for the average Canadian, creating jobs across construction, skilled trades, transportation, engineering, tech, and small business support. But with a projected $73–$78 billion deficit, this remains one of the boldest—and riskiest—economic bets in decades.

This has the potential to benefit Canadians in the long term through more housing, improved infrastructure, and a stronger economy—but it also comes with serious financial pressure. Higher debt, possible tax changes, and a heavier burden on future generations are all risks if the plan goes off track. Carney’s mega-project strategy could reshape Canada’s future… or leave Canadians paying the price for years to come.

Jamaica Broilers has reported a staggering $7.2 billion net loss, and the numbers are alarming. While the Jamaican operations earned $2.5 billion in profit, the company’s U.S. subsidiaries dragged the group into crisis with $9.1 billion in losses due to accounting irregularities and massive write-downs. This financial hit wipes out billions in equity — and sends a serious warning about the stability of one of Jamaica’s most essential food suppliers.

When a company that feeds the nation takes a blow this big, everyone feels it — from farmers and vendors to supermarkets, restaurants, and families already struggling after Hurricane Melissa. If production slows or costs rise, Jamaica could face higher food prices, shortages, and deeper pressure on low-income households. This is not just a corporate issue — it’s a national food-security concern. Jamaica needs answers, action, and accountability now more than ever.
