'Nothing is impossible': 4-year-old becomes world’s youngest author

FILE - Saeed Rashed AlMheiri, 4, has become the youngest author in the world. (Guinness World Records )A 4-year-old boy from Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates, has become the world’s youngest published author, according to the Guinness Book of World Records. Saeed Rashed AlMheiri has sold over 1,000 copies of his children’s book, "The Elephant Saeed and the Bear," which tells a tale teaching children about kindness through an unlikely friendship between two animals. Storytelling must be in this family’s genes because Saeed’s older sister, AlDhabi, became the world’s youngest female author to publish a bilingual book series at just 8 years old earlier this month, Guinness said. In addition to this feat, AlDhabi has also launched an initiative called "Books from Children to Children" which aims to encourage children between the ages of 4 and 10 to write in English and Arabic. Saeed said he was inspired by his older sister to pursue writing his book. "I love my sister so much, and I enjoy playing with her all the time," he told Guinness.

Budget 2023 won’t fuel inflation, but misses the bigger economic picture: experts

federal budget won’t fuel inflation but may be missing the bigger economic picture as a recession looms and the country’s cost-of-living crisis continues to squeeze Canadians, experts say.The budget unveiled by Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland on Tuesday promises to cut more than $15 billion in spending from the government’s books, but also abandons plans from the fall economic statement that projected a map to balanced budget. The federal deficit is projected to decrease by up to $14 billion in the downside scenario by 2027-28 from $43 billion.“If you look at the size of the deficit that they are projecting going forward, they’re not really adding materially to inflation relative to the path that we were already on,” said Craig Alexander, the former chief economist of Deloitte, in an interview with Mercedes Stephenson that aired Sunday on The West Block.
