U.S. approves potential $3.8-billion sale of air strike weaponry to Canada LINK TO ARTICLE I just saw this story pop up in my X timeline. Apparently, Mark Carney is buying $4 billion worth of "air strike" weaponry from Donald Trump. According to the G&M article, these are the types of bombs...

Strange video. Why would anyone want to swim in this small water basin, which is, by its nature and design, a catch basin for all the garbage floating in Lake Ontario? Notice the comments on this CBC video are turned off.

Prediction: This will soon be called the "TRIDEL TOWER" with Tridel's logo illuminating the top of the tower from all four sides. No way this LANDMARK tower is going to remain named as "One Bloor West." Bookmark this post

The Ex-President Whom Trump Plans to Pardon Flooded America With Cocaine (NYT) Link to article Trump is planning to pardon former Honduran president Juan Orlando Hernández, who was convicted in a US court for drug trafficking and sentenced to 25 years. This, at a time when Trump is blowing up...

Make Money Not War: Donald Trump's Real Peace Plan for Ukraine (WSJ) Link to article Interesting article outlining how Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff are planning to cash in big time post Ukraine war. In Trump's first term Kushner made billions from the Saudi's and Qataris. Trump is looking...

Great links in this post, especially the one on the Parliament Street project next to the liquor store. So, the final price tag of this project is $14 million, double the original estimate that was already insane. Add to that the price of the property, which is owned by the city of Toronto...

Of course, I mean median income. You say: GDP doesn't measure income, but total economic output. So, you cannot break it down so simply. Even per capita GDP is not a measure of income. GDP per capita is an actual measure of individual income. Can you name any other metric that captures the...

Carney just guaranteed that no AI data centers will be built in Canada. Great job, Mark! Seriously, I question whether Carney is deliberately trying to destroy the Canadian economy? After all, this is the guy who presided over the move of Brookfield, once one of Canada's premier companies, to...

What's the lie? An estimated 69% of Canadians use RRSP accounts to save for their retirement. https://madeinca.ca/retirement-savings-canada-statistics/

I understand very well the importance of the auto sector to the Canadian economy. I have posted many times in this forum my frustration at Ottawa and Queen's Park doing nothing about Trump's poaching of our auto sector. I have also said Canada needs to drop the 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs. Not...

How does it affect the average Canadian? Median GDP per capita is a measure of income, i.e., a measure of how much money Canadians have to live on, and relative to the United States, we have been losing ground over the last 10 years in a very big way. It is a hugely important figure for...

Right. China put 100% tariffs on Canadian products in response to Canada (Trudeau) putting 100% tariffs on Chinese EVs. Canada started this trade war with China, and stupidly, Carney has yet to drop the EV tariffs, even though Trump has told Carney to his face that he is going to take all our...

According to an updated CBC story, a "deal" will be signed next Thursday Ottawa, Alberta expected to sign new energy sector deal on Thursday: source Look at the language: CBC News reported earlier this week that the memorandum of understanding between the federal and provincial governments is...

This is a great idea. It is insane that a retired couple with a retirement income of $180K is eligible for OAS. I don't know why this change hasn't been suggested and implemented long ago. I don't know how anyone could think a retired person with a six-figure income is entitled to old age...

In the almost 10 years since Trudeau was elected, the gap between the Canadian standard of living vs the United States has grown even larger, as you can see from the figures below. I wonder how many Canadians are aware of how far we have fallen behind the Americans. I suspect very few, thanks to...

It didn't accomplish much because impeachment occurs in the House, but a conviction happens in the Senate. Trump was impeached in the House but was not convicted in the Senate. Without a conviction in the Senate, an impeachment in the House is meaningless. Interestingly enough, Richard Nixon was...

Why not? The president of the United States - a certifiable madman - is waging an ECONOMIC WAR on Canada. According to Carney, this war on Canada has already wiped out 1.8% of our GDP, or about $50 billion, or, put another way, has taken $1,300 out of the pocket of every Canadian man, woman, and...

A monumental decision? The F-35's first flight was in 2006. Next year it will be a 20-year-old design. It is outdated technology that may have been "stealthy" 20 years ago, but does anyone believe that Russia or China don't have the radar and air defenses to neutralize this overpriced aircraft...

This week, the world was reminded of an important lesson. If you stand up to Donald Trump, he will back down because, like most bullies, Trump is really just a coward. Four courageous GOP House members stood up to Trump and forced a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Faced with a recorded...

This video clip turned up in my X timeline: I don't know when Carney made these comments, but I found them shocking. According to Carney, thanks to Emperor Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, our GDP has shrunk by 1.8%! Carney says that amounts to $50 billion, or $1,300 per resident of...
