Aren’t those all BRICS nations? I thought they were toast? There’s something called controlled growth. You can’t just throw a switch, & Poof!! Trump flex makes the globe different overnight, cause big things take time to change direction. I’m in shipping (land, not sea), and there’s a shortage...

What’s the unintended consequence of this? Does Japan own Chinese made bulk ships? Whose ships will Japan make first? How fast can they replace them if this is the case? If so, what happens in the meantime (?) and where do foreign (to Japan) shippers fall on the list? That’s just off the top of...

Like Trump in his first term, what’s Carney’s political experience? Somewhere around zero or close to it. Unlike Trump (or Carney), Poilievre has a couple of decades of political experience.

The BRICS nations (Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa) have achieved significant economic growth and increased global influence since their formation in 2009. BRICS' collective GDP in terms of Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) has overtaken the G7's, and they now represent a substantial...

About four hundred posts back here, this came up. How quickly can Japan replace all of China’s bulk ships? Anyway, as currently drafted, the new rules would have a devastating impact not just on China, but would harm almost all companies and and anlmost all countries that rely on marine...

http://www.youtube.com/shorts/8TLQfCMjpEw (YouTube & House Leader grilled on Carbon Tax) …& then for an election, they zero it out, without removing it, so that they can dial back in at a later time.

Well, it is weird, and interesting, & just over two weeks until the actual election… Poilievre is campaigning for Canada, & Carney is campaigning against Trump, but when Trump hasn’t done something boneheaded in the media in a few days (it has happened a few times now), Carney retreats from...

Of the five guys below, Poilievre, Blanchet, & Singh have been elected by the voters in their electoral ridings, and represent their constituents as their Member of Parliament. The other two dudes bookending them just haven’t.

This just sounds like the carbon tax scam from day 1.

Apparently, it’s not just the last two elections, but the current one also, & as long as it benefits the Liberals…🤫

The great Liberal myth-making machine has fabricated the fairytale that Carney was responsible for managing Canada’s economy through the global financial crisis of 2008-2009 when he was governor of the Bank of Canada. This (Canada’s) country’s central banker in practice sets the prime interest...

The exclusions, published late Friday by US Customs and Border Protection, narrow the scope of the levies by excluding the products from Trump’s 125% China tariff and his baseline 10% global tariff on nearly all other countries. The exclusions apply to smartphones, laptop computers, hard drives...

This is interesting in a “Let’s protest the guy & party that hasn’t been in power the last decade….because electoral reform that the Liberals promised & didn’t deliver upon three consecutive elections?” Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre will be facing more opponents than ever in his eighth...

(YouTube & LILLEY UNLEASHED: Is Carney dealing with Trump or inventing a distraction?) (YouTube & Was it necessary for Carney to pause his campaign again? Bureau chiefs panel – April 11, 2025) (YouTube & LILLEY UNLEASHED: More political meddling by the Chinese government)...

All the scrutiny and questions may be getting a bit too much for Mark Carney as he suspends his campaign for a third time. http://apple.news/AvY9mBbkySdyPesHridv13w Carney has clearly been irritated and put his “elbows up” after being questioned about a number of controversies swirling around...

….& here we are halfway through an election cycle, being the shortest allowed by law, and Jagmeet Singh & his Coalition NPD/Libs are absolutely tanking. No longer being the blue collar party they started as many decades ago, and being completely tone deaf to the taxpayers, or to the concept...

The Liberal leader and prime minister was asked if he would make a commitment. A solid concrete commitment to do everything in his power to see that new oil and gas pipelines and new LNG projects will be on the list of projects he wants built. Carney made no such commitment...

And they’re still more than what? 1/3 are the global population…& their combined economies are…? Significant? And BRICS is now more than just a core countries whose letters are represented.

Things are a mess right now. It might be a port in the storm. I wouldn’t count it out.

Did the BRICS go away? Really? And now many countries are being forced to reassess the relationships between themselves and others…& find alternative trading partners to avoid Trump & his instability at least to some extent to at least partially insulate themselves from his bipolar flip...
