Lots of risk with that.

Trump said that DOGE savings would go to pay down the debt - didn't happen Trump said that Tariffs would go to pay down the debt - didn't happen Trump said that he wouldn't start any new wars and drive up spending because of it - didn't happen Trump said that hiss tax plans would be 'debt...

That is a game changer.

Yes, poor Jean and Elise couldn’t even get together a foursome for a golf outing.

US Federal Government spending on just the interest payments on US debt is it equal to 20% of its total revenue…… Interest payments are now larger than defence spending. US interest payments are between 3.2 - 4.2% it’s GDP. For Germany it’s 0.7%. For Japan it’s 2%. For Canada it’s 1.6%...

This report is as of 29 June, so all information is 2.5 months out of date - which means, all information/data is ‘lower’ than what the current information would be. With that being said: “Iranian strikes have damaged and destroyed ‘hundreds of buildings and structures’ at US bases in the...

Or a 90s PC.

US 10yr bond at 5% this morning. CAD is falling against USD as a result of the implied US 1/4 rate increase that may occur on Wednesday. This will make CDN exports cheaper to the US and US exports to Canada (and around the world) more expensive, driving up the US trade deficits...

Allowing CDN's 180 days in the EU vs the current 90 days would be nice. Would align things with what we have with the US already.

And the timing is perfect with Xi in Washington the following week to have a head to head with Trump.

I expect some projects get signed and move along. I don’t see a number of ‘home runs’ happening. But if a can pull of a triple or two, a couple of stand up doubles and a fair amount of singles, I’d call it a success and start preparing for next years summit.

I’ve not read anywhere, anywhere that talked about ‘membership.’ That is unrealistic and not needed. Some sort of ‘greater closeness’ can be explored but has not been defined nor discussed. But it should be explored for as I’ve said before, we need options, for options gives us power and greater...
