"Canada L I V E S because of the United States." My first thought after hearing this was, didn't we burn the White House down once? I'd call that living the L I F E .
Carney's words at Davos, "...because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu." I'm feeling kinda peckish. Maybe Turkey, Texas is a good place to gobble up to start.
Canada's most ordered foods. Basically, fat on top of fat on top of fat. Because of the cold climate, right?

I find it ironic that Kirk was immediately followed by Dryden 2/2
Rachael Thomas (CPC): freedom of speech is the cornerstone of a free society. Charlie Kirk was an outspoken advocate for faith, family and freedom.
Hon. Mona Fortier (Lib.): Ken Dryden passing is a profound loss for Canada. I...witnessed first-hand his thoughtfulness, intellect and dedication. 1/2
Statement by Grigory Melkonyants, co-chair of Golos, an independent Russian election monitor, before receiving 5-year prison sentence on charges of “organising the activities of an undesirable organisation” (Golos).

"Each of us daily makes a choice between kindness and malice, love and hatred, loyalty and betrayal, strength and weakness, generosity and greed, truth and falsehood, optimism and apathy, humility and pride, sincerity and self-interest, joy and despair, participation and indifference" 1/2
Key word is "Pilot"; there are other options
but I am having an excellent computer karma day: the virtual phone's ringing again; Excel doesn't auto-wrap anymore when cutting and pasting. Dare I hope the printer is accessible again? Eeeeee!
Office Empty Karma kinda day. The water in the kettle was below the minimum level, the milk container had a dribble left and only 2 squares on the toilet paper roll. I've reached my refill quota for the day. Somebody else's turn now.

so...he's applying his two-for-one rule to his announcements. kudos for setting a good example of this rule, at least.
Looked at Proportional Representation voting vs First-Past-The-Post & realized I prefer Mixed Member Proportional. Pick my riding rep and get a party seat top-up if the popular vote goes that way. Wonder if you can vote for a specific candidate and their opposing party? oooo...the possibilities...

I'm shaking my head side-to-side. Those poor customs staff trying to keep up with his latest memo (executive order). Wonder if they just announce the rates over the loud speaker - kinda like hourly shopping specials.

125% at last count
So...104% tariff on Chinese imports. Is that why they're seizing the phones at the border - there's going to be a massive shortage of regularly priced phones so border guards are stocking-piling for side sales.

No tax to pay on capital gains means, also, no tax to recover on capital losses or apply as tax reduction on future capital gains. Sounds like lose-lose scenario to me. Better to keep the capital gains tax rate exactly where it is.
So, since there are no capital gains and only capital losses, does this mean there's no tax recovery? Am I understanding this correctly?
Not to be insensitive, but, my 2nd thought was traffic's gonna be a nightmare. Then I wondered what the pub's legal capacity is. How the heck did I morph into such a health and safety nerd.
Maybe we're supposed to add up all the tariffs within the EU...
Silly me. After decreeing the world-wide tarriffs, should've made that first Emperor of Earth.
The Art of the Deal. The end result is irrelevant. The goal: prolong the adrenalin rush by forcing individual countries to prostrate themselves at his feet begging for as long as possible. Dealing with the EU as a group shortens the rush. He craves them one-by-one.
