Well I was just talking about this year so its entirely possible(and I'd say probable) they hike next year

Probably not, the BOC doesn't meet again till December so I'm not sure what we'd see at the end of October.

I misread the dot plot. Thanks for correcting me, so we could indeed see a hike in October, though the current plot suggests a max of 25bps for the end of the year.

October 26 and December 7:
