Canada's central bank cut its key interest rate by a quarter-point on Tuesday, saying Canada needs the stimulus to ward off the effects of a United States already in recession and a global economy heading there.
The cut to 2.25 percent Tuesday follows an unscheduled half-point reduction Oct. 8 in co-operation with other major central banks in an effort to ease lending and boost the global economy.
