The US Treasury Department is backstopping their bonds, in essence they becoming their own reliable buyer. How long this can go on and at what amounts remains to be seen. Bessent has publicly dared the market to bet against him. A foolish move I believe. A good chance that someone in the...

I expect that Manitoba will have their chance to 'sell' Churchill on the world stage come 14/15 September in Toronto. This will be their best shot to impress the movers and shakers of the big institutional money managers to make Churchill hit the big leagues. If they can show them the business...

Some important dates to be aware of and understand that are most likely influencing key decisions and announcements that are coming out of our Federal Government as well out of Trump's mouth. 1) 14/15 Sept - Canada Investment Summit in Toronto Over 100 large scale investment institutions are...

I think that the article talked something about the rail grade being a 'better grade' or 'flatter grade'?

Interesting article out of the US west coast. Concern that Prince Rupert is beginning to eat their lunch, as we’ve already eaten their breakfast. https://www.seattletimes.com/business/international-trade/trade-war-pushes-canada-to-pacific-exports-what-does-it-mean-for-wa/

It’s a f8cking brutal disease.

My father in law and great aunt wandered off a few times. I don’t know what the living situation is for your in laws but think about ‘alarms’ on the exit doors so when the door opens a chime or something goes off. Also, a ‘tracker’ on one of their shoes. A sad story. It happened about halfway...

Will our JSS hold frozen (or fresh) food stores?

The US was low low hanging fruit, virtually no effort to sell. All those ‘Canadian’ companies are virtually US branch companies whose sole focus is to sell back to the US. That’s going to be our biggest challenge, seeing if they stick around and if they are allowed to look to other markets to...

First - I’m very sorry to hear this. We’ve gone through it with my father in law, my great aunt and with my brothers father in law. The evenings can be the worst. We found that sometimes giving them ‘jobs’ in the evenings could redirect them. Folding a basket of towels and sheets was job that...

We simply need options and the ability to have options. With that, we are set. The US doesn’t want us to have options. They want us to have only 1 buyer, 1 market - their’s. Having options, and the ability to choose where we sell and to who we sell, is power. From here on out, we need to look...

Anyone able to post an archived link to this to bypass the PW? https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-09-08/eu-and-canada-plan-far-reaching-alliance-to-strengthen-partnership

Now he's 'sundowning' during daylight hours.....

Watched it already. Seems a bit like he's prepping us that the worst is yet to come.

Any bets that Ukraine says 'Hold my beer' and makes an attempt on this?? https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/article/north-korea-and-russia-open-their-first-road-bridge-a-symbol-of-expanding-ties/ North Korea and Russia open their first road bridge, a symbol of expanding ties

I think that is what may end up with the auto sector. A going back to the 'old days' of the 1965 Auto Pact. A US company must produce a vehicle in Canada in order for a vehicle to be allowed into Canada duty free.

Your right. We should let the Norwegians (and whoever joins with them) dump their selected 80$ billion US Treasuries without us. The US debt has doubled every 9yrs from 10$ trillion in 2008 to 20$ trillion in 2017 to its present day value of 40$ trillion in 2026. They have made zero effects to...

Who knows, he included Mexico, Cuba, Haiti, DR, Jamaica, Mexico, Bahamas, most of central America.

I saw diesel for 6.30$ US a gallon on Saturday in rural PA, that's basically the same price as here in Burlington ON when converted to CAD and L. Minimum wage in PA is 7.25$/hr.......a waitress is making 2.83$/hr.....luckily she most likely won't be driving a vehicle that runs on diesel.

Here's what Iceland did about the US flag being put over their country. https://www.nbcnews.com/world/europe/iceland-summons-us-ambassador-trump-posts-map-american-flag-rcna596537 Iceland summons U.S. ambassador after Trump posts map showing island under American flag Iceland last month voted...
