So, the PQ thinks doing away with a figurehead monarchy is a priority in 2025. Their need to sabre rattle at windmills is a joke...during a trade war especially.

So-called “inclusionary zoning,” the practice of requiring home builders to rent new apartments at a loss to low-income tenants, is a tax on new housing that worsens the housing shortage and raises rents overall in exchange for a handful of means-tested units. It’s bad policy!

Overall they want different degrees of adhesion so they can fast track eastern countries into the EU by degrees. We could fit in there somewhere.

Because of Trump’s tariffs, stainless steel costs 40% more than it did a year ago, but that seems like a feature, not a bug, in this market. A designer says this only adds to its allure. “It used to be economical. When things are harder to acquire, it becomes more exciting for people to use.”

How Trump tariffs turned stainless steel into a Veblen Good

For some, the fact that it costs 40% more is a feature, not a bug.

We Canadians have lots of cash in RRSP plans. We used to demand 80% Canadian content in all RRSP porfolios. We should demand that 10% of RRSPs be invested in Cdn residential REITs to increase the housing supply and 10% in Cdn VC Funds targeting small cap companies to spur on Cdn entrepreneurship.

There are farmers in the many other countries with high speed rail. The difference is that they don't hate the city folk instinctively like rural North Americans do.

I can see no way forward for the F-35 in Canada. If Trump can flip last minute switches on bridges and trade negotiations, who would trust him to not flip switches to disable proprietary F-35 systems?

Canada should pursue an autopact with the EU and change auto standards to align with EU standards. US automakers are no longer partners in any way. Joining the EU is unnecessary and Canada's federation is not a good fit. But side agreements can work, like an autopact.

I'd like to see Canada's response aim at tech. Not just cause it will hurt them and foster Cdn alternatives, but it will make a path that others globally could follow that will scare Trump's tech bros about as a potential thin edge of a wedge. Make no mistake, Cda is just first in line...
