What is the legal definition of:
◦(c) assists an enemy at war with Canada, or any armed forces against whom Canadian Forces are engaged in hostilities, whether or not a state of war exists between Canada and the country whose forces they are.


Does this apply to terror orgs???
If yes they would need to be listed as an enemy - at war with Canada - would they not?

Why Goldman Sachs recommends shorting the Canadian dollar - The Globe and Mail

This article is laughable.

While everything they say is true, the elephant in the room is the US Federal Reserve has been printing money as fast as possible (read:Weimar Republic) and their various sectors have taken a beating far worse than many Western nations incl Canada.

In the end, a drop in the loonie is good for Canada as it will bolster exports, mfg and help the bottom line for commodities... Canada will be wise to take advantage of this until the over valued greenback gets adjusted by the global markets.... Then we be f*cked

You don't know how right you are.

Own your assets (as best you can) and keep a cash balance available to take advantage of the fire sales that will inevitably arise.

The really big question is: What currency to keep a cash account in?

Always wise to invest in savings.

Well before we call a mole an elephant, let's recall that the impact of the increasing supply of money in the Weimar Republic caused hyperinflation:


The US Federal Reserve began increasing the supply of money in 2008 and QE is now over with, and inflation as measured by the cost of consumer goods has remained under 2.5% the entire time. The Weimar Republic in contrast saw a huge increase (1000%) in the cost of consumer goods over the same period of time.

What do you think will happen to the value of the USD (or any currency that does this) when the markets understand the actual # of dollars in circulation?

Add to this that the US debt (measured in any form) is through the roof, past the moon and on it's way to passing Kirk in the Enterprise... The USA will benefit from inflation at this point, but based on the various factors in play here, that inflation could rise too high, too fast and choke out any growth.

This isn't good by any standard and it is not restricted to the USA... Canada has a crap-ton of debt per capita too and we haven't even dissected the EU, etc.

Trust me.. Keep some reserves in cash and stay as far away from debt as possible.... A 1-2% increase in the Bank Rate will have ripples that you don't want to start imagining

What makes you think they don't understand how many are there right now? Do you think you have some inside information that others don't? If so, please share.

Trust me..

Nope. Your premise doesn't follow from the assertion.
