The Young and the Restless spoilers: Amanda drops a big clue as to Aristotle's identity?

The guessing game of the true identity of The Young and the Restless' Aristotle Dumas continues, as we still have no confirmation as to who the mystery billionaire is. However, in The Young and the Restless episode airing on May 16, Amanda Sinclair (Mishael Morgan) pops back into town with some Aristotle news. It all starts with Lily (Christel Khalil), Devon (Bryton James) and Nate (Sean Dominic) all receiving individual text messages, summoning them to attend a meeting with Aristotle Dumas at Society. When the three of them arrive, they become suspicious of why they weren't just invited via a group message, and are further wary about what is going on. Lily, in particular, notes about Aristotle's love of the dramatics, and the Winters/Hastings crew as a whole wonder if Aristotle is actually going to show to tell them what he wants. As Lily, Devon and Nate huddle around, further discussing the matter at hand, in walks Amanda, shocking them all. They ask Amanda what she's doing back in town, and she makes it clear she's there to meet them on behalf of Aristotle and is the one who sent the text messages. After Jill (Jess Walton) sold Chancellor, Amanda was a free agent, and Dumas reached out to her with a job offer, working as his attorney. She accepted the position, and she's in Genoa City today to answer their questions about her boss. Amanda first confirms that Aristotle is in fact, a man, and she's actually met him, unlike Damian (Jermaine Rivers). She then informs the trio that Aristotle has no interest in Winters, but has a deep admiration for the company and them individually. Interestingly enough, Amanda invokes Neil's (Kristoff St. John) name, claiming Aristotle admired him very much and believes Winters 'perfectly embodies Neil's approach to business.' Allegedly, Aristotle added that Neil would be very proud of them. Devon and Lily naturally ask if Aristotle knew Neil, but Amanda doesn't say. Tired of the riddles, they ask Amanda point-blank, what Aristotle is after. Amanda assures them it's not Winters but Chancellor. Aristotle wasn't pleased that Victor (Eric Braeden) purchased Chancellor and ousted Billy (Jason Thompson) in the way he did. Amanda personally was upset how Lily was fired by Billy before that sale happened, commenting on Lily being a real asset to Chancellor. When Lily, Devon and Nate go to Nate's apartment to discuss the shocking meeting with Amanda, they're all confused about what to think. They don't know if they can trust Amanda's motives, are confused about whether she knows Damian and are still suspicious of all things Aristotle. With all that being said, we're starting to wonder more than ever if Aristotle really is Cane or Tucker. Cane, in particular, admired Neil as his father-in-law and could speak to Neil as a businessman, and likely would know what would make Neil proud. Additionally, Cane also has always loved Lily, and it's not hard to picture him upset with the way Billy treated her at Chancellor, and how Victor subsequently played her over the company. He could be wanting to right a wrong for his ex-wife and the mother of his twin children. Although the original Cane portrayer, Daniel Goddard, is currently on General Hospital, we can't rule out him playing double duties in daytime soon. It's also possible that actor Billy Flynn is picking up the Cane mantle, given he's due to make a debut soon. So what do you think? Is Cane Aristotle Dumas or could it be another blast from the past like Tucker, or a member of the Prentiss family? New episodes of The Young and the Restless air weekdays on CBS. Episodes become available to stream on Paramount Plus the next day.

Islanders managing debt better than other Canadians, new StatCan report shows
Islanders are getting a better handle on their debt than other Canadians, according to new data from Statistics Canada. Amanda Sinclair, an assistant director with Statistics Canada's national economic accounts division, said the agency measures how manageable debt is for households through two key indicators. Those are the debt-to-income ratio, which compares how much a household owes each month with how much it earns, and the interest-only portion of the debt service ratio, which indicates how much it costs to service debt. "Overall, we would say P.E.I. is faring better in terms of these financial indicators than other provinces," Sinclair told CBC News. Comparing the third quarter of 2024 to the same period in 2023, Sinclair said household debt levels on the Island have remained relatively stable, while household disposable income has grown significantly. The province, as a result, saw a faster-than-average decline in its debt-to-income ratio and in the interest-only portion of its debt service ratio, Sinclair said. Across Canada, the household debt-to-disposable-income ratio continued to improve in the third quarter of 2024, falling to 173.1 per cent from 175.3 per cent in the second quarter. This marked the sixth consecutive quarter of decline. This means that for every dollar of household disposable income, there was $1.73 in credit market debt. According to the report, this decline is primarily due to significant income growth outpacing increases in credit liabilities. Why P.E.I. stands out Sinclair said multiple factors are driving the changes on P.E.I., but a major one is that Islanders are earning more. "Wages did increase more in Prince Edward Island relative to Canada in the third quarter of 2024 compared to a year earlier. Wages were up about 7.7 per cent in Prince Edward Island, and that compares to 3.6 per cent for Canada," she said. Overall, we would say P.E.I. is faring better in terms of these financial indicators than other provinces. Islanders also tend to carry less debt than people in other provinces, especially in places where housing costs are much higher like Ontario and British Columbia. Another factor, Sinclair said, is that P.E.I. has seen stronger-than-average investment earnings. She said this is linked to lower housing costs. "The fact that housing might be cheaper, their residents are able to save more money or invest more money, then the interest rates go up, and they're able to then earn bigger returns because they were able to put their savings into financial investments," she said. "It's sort of like a doubling effect." National trends The report also finds for the first time in three years, households across all age groups have kept their debt service ratios stable. "Regardless of the recent trends of this slowing down, the debt to income ratio does remain quite elevated for Canadian households," Sinclair said. "When you compare this to other countries, it does stand out as quite high, and the majority of outstanding debt for Canadian households are mortgages." She added that younger Canadians — households under 35 — have seen significant declines in their debt-to-income ratios. This is likely due to a conscious effort by younger households to reduce or avoid taking on new debt, particularly mortgages, following interest rate hikes in recent years, she said. While this trend may have positive short-term implications for the financial health of younger households, Sinclair said it could have long-term implications. "If they're not able to enter the mortgage market in their younger years, will they have time to accumulate the wealth and the net worth that comes from owning homes? That could be seen as a negative."
