Have Brexit, pollution and the pandemic killed the great British shellfish industry?

the industry has been in a steady downward spiral.A post-Brexit world has proven to be a difficult place for shellfish fishermen. EU red tape in the immediate wake of Brexit caused prices to plummet and created chaos at the border, as British exporters got stuck with lorries full of live shellfish, only to be turned away if a form was filled out in the wrong colour pen. One company sent £15,000 worth of scallops to the border in January 2021 and got delayed due to paperwork errors; by the time they arrived in France, the scallops had gone off.In the year since, exporters have been trying to fathom the new regulations after Brussels ruled they could no longer bring live mussels, oysters, scallops, clams and cockles into Europe from what are referred to as ‘category B’ waters, unless they had been purified.

Home prices under ‘full-scale attack’ as interest rates, taxes rise: economist

interest rates coupled with new provincial taxes on non-resident buyers could send home prices down more than 10 per cent, according to an analyst with the Bank of Montreal.BMO senior economist Robert Kavcic wrote in a note to clients Wednesday morning that “there is now a full-scale attack on Canadian home prices across various levels of policy.”He cited marked expectations of surging interest rates in the months ahead and new or higher taxes on real estate speculators and non-resident buyers in some provinces as the biggest factors that could see home prices take a hit in the year ahead.Reuters reported this week that money markets are betting the Bank of Canada could raise its overnight rate target by up to 225 basis points before the end of 2022. Such a hike could see the key rate rapidly rise from its current 0.5 per cent level to 2.75 per cent over the next nine months.To do so, the central bank might take the rare step of raising interest rates by half a percentage point at its next meeting on April 13.
