Kudos to PP. That's a solid response by him. The US loves to prattle on and on about 'united we stand' but when's the last time that has occurred? I'll tell you when - 9/11/01 - just about 25yrs ago. How the mighty have fallen.

You have to ask yourself this question - 'Is the end game of DT to put the US in such a bad fiscal position that it has no choice but to in effect declare bankruptcy?' Its the world's reserve currency still, so it can basically do whatever it wants (still at this point this is true), so if it...

Not sure much the farms but the hotels, the restaurant chains, nail them. Do a blitz in NYC, Chicago, LA, Atlanta, Dallas of all the Hiltons/Holiday Inn's/Marriott's on a Thursday morning before a long weekend and see the uproar that would cause.

The EU is set to raise rates and the market, as of yesterday, was pricing in a 60% chance that the US does. Even if the 1/4 point raise doesn't translate into a 25 basis point rise on the 10yr (and 20yr/30yr), I think 15ish basis points rise is in order. That will put the US 10yr bond around...

Yes, in recent times is certainly has, but I was using a 20yr timeline in my statement above. Ideally you buy 3 ETF's - TSX, S&P 500 and NASDAQ and you fund them accordingly, consistently over 20+yrs and you retire wealthy (of course the funding needs to be adequate, putting in 1k/yr for 25yrs...

Is there an entire process in place already regarding the purchasing of fresh/frozen food in overseas ports? Do we have 'standing agreements' in place already for some ports (say in the UK/France/Italy), with previously used vendors? For more 'one off locations', say Vietnam, do we lean on...

Alot of us on here (and throughout the world) are focused on November and the potential loss of the House or the Senate or both by Trump/Republicans. That's alot of 'hope'. We need to consider what happens if he manages to hold the House or the Senate or both......Things will potentially get...

The millions of illegals working in their country is a form of 'slave labour'..... What rights do they have? Who ensures that their rights aren't being trampled and abused? Why is no one in Trump admin fining, arresting and seizing control of the all the US companies - large and small - that...

Let's see what the bond market continue to do this week and going forward. US 10yr bond now sitting at 4.875%

There's one born every second.

The key word was ‘past’ in my response.

If he’s pragmatic, which he is, he’s going to put his investments where he was able to make the most money in the past. Buying a S&P 500 and NASDAQ ETF fund over the last 20yrs definitely made you the most money for the easiet, least amount of effort.

100% spot on

We'll see what happens down the road. This decision 'hamstrings' them to the F35 and renders their aircraft carriers independence/effectiveness to the whims of the US for decades into the future. I would not call that prudent statecraft by the 3 of them.

Are you saying that GCAP won't be developing a fighter that will fly from the 3 founding members aircraft carriers? Its their sole intent to use the F35 on a go forward basis 20+yrs in the future?

Germany has been very quiet over the last 2 months since its 6th gen fighter programme collapsed with France. I know that UK/Italy/Japan have mentioned Germany, but articles have been quiet regarding this. India is moving towards France on the 6th gen and France is pushing hard to bring Saab...

Wonder if any of these unknown sources ends up being the unknown RCAF individual who has been tipping off the media on a number of F35 related stories. If not that person, also wondering if these unnamed sources are x-RCAF members. Yes I'm speculating but its worth wondering in this case and...

Winter is coming

Could be. I 'think' that Zelenskyy is to be in Calgary during his visit to Canada.
