this came as an insert in our Canadian newspaper today. it will take a lot more than this to erase our lack of interest in travel to the US right now.

this is the first time I've seen a genuine smile of joy on Trump's face. Carney is the Trump whisperer! too bad about the Canadian auto industry but it was always going to struggle to avoid collapse.

North America, especially the US, is falling behind the rest of the world. Savings on the cost of fuel, reducing emissions, smoother and quieter drive, much lower maintenance costs... all of these and more are benefiting the rest of the world except for N.A.

the people are running out of credit. this could be the end of years of abundance when each year there was an increase in consumer credit from the previous year. if it's over, that's a serious recessionary impulse.

it's not just unemployment that affects spending. If one is worried about being unemployed in the future, spending decisions will change. concerns are rising, especially among the college educated.

I don't is this is wrong to do but here's a post I did in that other place. Putin just humiliated Trump.

the WSJ, owned by Murdoch, criticizes Trump, calling his tariff moves stupid. But no mea culpa for helping get him elected, even though all of this stupidity was on full display for many years.

does Canada have these six features of a nation? I'm not sure. what do you think?

Trump couldn't wait even 30 days to punish Canada with tariffs for being too nice. He doesn't respect nice.
