    I think it's also interesting to look at world markets (one month change): DOW: -8.95% NASDAQ Composite: - 13.36% NYSE: -6.65% TSX/S&P Composite: -5.46% S&P: -9.81% FTSE: -2.53% DAX: - 0.20% HANG SENG: +7.56 Some consumer confidence stocks (one month change): Amazon: -16.51% COSTCO: -17.21%...

    Question on Conditional/unconditional letter of acceptance from a university in regards to Reserve Officer application.

    The appropriate response to this sort of thing is "show me the reference". Policy not founded in regulation has no standing. DAOD 5002-1 and QR&O 6.01 apply. On the other hand, if he's enrolling RESO, then 5002-8 applies. There is a requirement that the applicant has completed Grade 12 in either...

    Must make all those Americans facing retirement happy watching their 401K and Roth IRA decrease in value.

    TBH, I think the US actually took a hard right.

    He also fails to realize that the last time the US went this protectionist it precipitated the Great Depression.

    Yep, Tesla shares down 45% year-to-date. Sure glad I dumped mine while they were still worth more than I paid for them.

    Yep. I was at Superstore this morning and a quick survey of the fruit and veg aisles revealed a single US supplied product.

    Yes, and if they use CANDU technology, we don't even need to enrich the uranium, plus we can do in-place refuelling.

    My understanding is that this may change given Cali's poor water management.

    He needs to be anointed appointed by the GG as well.

    LPC leadership race - 2025

    I don't think he's any kind of PM until he holds a seat in the house.

    LPC leadership race - 2025

    This was only ever a coronation disguised as a choice. Courage would dictate that he face the electorate immediately. You want a mandate? Prove it!

    CAN-USA 2025 Tariff Strife (split from various pol threads)

    Not so easy a task. Home Hardware is a small market operation on purpose, so that they don't have to directly compete with the big boys. City folks will still need to shop at either Rona or HD - both US corporations. Corporations that employ thousands of Canadians. What we need to do is motivate...

    This is already starting to manifest in the fresh produce area. There is now next to no fresh produce from the US at my local (Superstore) grocer. The products that do come from the US, and be sourced from other areas. Canadians are voting with their wallets, and retailers are not going to let...

    Trump administration 2024-2028

    I liken our response to the Kubler-Ross stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. We've already passed through the first three, and need to rapidly move on to the last one. After this, we need to get on with the job. Get our supply chains reoriented to different...

    Liberal Minority Government 2021 - ????

    Watching TV tonight when the Liberal attack adds came out comparing Polivere to Trump. If that's your starting point, you have nowhere to go but down.

    There's a reason that US longevity is on a downward slope, and it's only going to get worse.
