    The Tarriff Hype.

    Being Canada, if/when it imposes reciprocal tariffs, I wonder if they will charge the GST on those tariffs for the benefit of Canadians as a whole? Or would these be exempt because they cross one international boundary? Anyway… …U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick says tariffs on Canada...

    So if they were about one percent or less before, are they up to about 1% now?

    Trump 2.0

    How much ramped up production in Wyoming as a percentage of their domestic requirements? If Canada is 27% of North America’s (96+%) on the pie graph of America’s total of 28%…Wyoming is 1%-ish or so?

    Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

    I’ve missed that, but I’ve only seen exerts & not the whole thing due to time constraints.

    Trump 2.0

    No idea…but Biden signed (May of 2024) legislation to prevent purchases of Uranium from Russia, so I’m assuming (?) they (Russia) found other markets for their product outside of sanctions, etc…?

    Trump 2.0

    “Wait…There’s More!!” Nuclear power, the use of sustained nuclear fission to generate heat and electricity, contributes nearly 20 percent of the electricity generated in America. The United States has used nuclear power for more than 60 years to produce reliable, low-carbon energy and to...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Until those numbers come out tomorrow, midday, here’s kind of an interesting yet blurry graph. It factors out most of Canada, including Quebec….& just leaves in the traditional liberal strongholds of BC, ON, & the maritime provinces lumped together. Does this match the media hype? This is...

    Liberals bring out the Knives

    Do you think this is more than a blip on the statistical graph, due in part to: 1) Trudeau, sort of resigning, but not really, announcing his intention to resign eventually after a series of liberal events happen? 2) Just the potential for somebody different to run the liberal party… who, as of...

    The Tarriff Hype.

    If you’re not tied to an industry currently that directly depends on international trade, or the movement of goods based on international trade, then sit back and enjoy the ride I guess. Those of us that are, like somebody working in a pulp mill or a sawmill or a smelter for steel or aluminum...

    Well…good question. There seems to be two sets of rules. Depends which set of rules somebody is falling.

    Homeless Tent Cities in Canada

    I’d like to see new 1000 square foot bungalows, as opposed to 5000 square-foot McMansions being pumped out, especially when space is not an issue. That might go a long way towards the desire for home ownership that’s not Condos and potentially within the means of most families, ect…

    Or anointed, then declare a state of emergency over Trump tariffs or the threat there of, keep Parliament prorogued, and be the unelected PM of Canada until October-ish of 2026 without oversight.

    The Tarriff Hype.

    Quebec isn’t all Québécois, & it’s still about 1 in 4 people in Canada, & that’s huge, & can’t be allowed to happen. I think, as a grassroots movement, where possible, with many, that’s already happening…& America can thank Trump for that. I hear you. Balance in the universe & the country...

    Do you think he’s the person (& his recycled team of Liberals) to lead Canada politically through this next several years, or do you think he would get eaten alive, & in turn Canada also in the political arena?

    The Tarriff Hype.

    How many companies (companies equal employees and their families) is Trump willing to sacrifice in order to play the role of the strong man who’s never had to do a day of labour in his life? How is a nation supposed to respond to tariffs? There are no good responses, but which is the least bad...
