Good morning!
Here are the five things you need to know to get caught up after the weekend: The Royal Family experiences some First Nations culture on the British Columbia coast; Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump face off in their first U.S. presidential election debate; Montreal city councillors decide whether to ban pit bulls; golf legend Arnold Palmer dies at 87; and China steps up the space race with the world’s largest radio telescope.
Plus, for Money Monday, we look at how investing in well-known companies can mean missed opportunities for faster financial growth elsewhere.
1. Royal tour: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spend Monday in Bella Bella, B.C., meeting with First Nations and experiencing aboriginal culture while taking in the beauty of the province’s Central Coast.
2. Debate night: Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will come face-to-face tonight for the first of three U.S. presidential debates. The high-stakes televised showdown is expected to attract a record number of viewers.
3. Pit bull ban: Montreal city councillors are expected to vote today, on whether to adopt a bylaw that would ban new pit bulls from the city. The legislation would also impose restrictions on pit bulls already in the city, including mandatory muzzling.
4. Death of a legend: Arnold Palmer, one of the most important players in golf history, died on Sunday. He was 87. Palmer, known as “The King,” is credited with propelling golf’s popularaity during the golden age of TV.
5. Telescope: China has taken the hunt for alien life to a new level with a radio telescope that demonstrates the country’s growing ambitions in space. The telescope, which is the largest of its kind, began searching for signals from stars and galaxies on Sunday.
And one more thing for Money Monday: While investing in large, well-known companies may be attractive, experts say investors risk missing out on potentially faster or greater growth elsewhere.
