Trump's Administration Slogan is just "Shit's Bed Will Travel" at this point.

I had to be the bearer of bad news...China won't be buying that many soybeans until at least next season. Their importers bought a glut of soybeans from Brazil this season using a set of contracts orders with option to extends. The importers won't be changing track until after next year.

In 2020, Canada ranked 4 in the OECD Better Life Index, against the Nordic countries and Australia. We have fallen a few points due to economic pressure, housing and labour productivity. The US is still in our rearview mirror of the Better Life Index. 10th in 2020, and now 25th currently.

Once again, Tariffs increase prices, increase prices slow consumer spending, when consumer spending slows tariff revenue shrinks. You cannot base an entire fiscal policy on broad country tariffs the revenue will shrink over time as consumer spending habits change.

Wealthy people building AI to glaze their own fragile ketamine addicted ego is about as absurd a sentence as it is real.

If you drop a tariff on coffee, after running that tariff for 8 months the price doesn't just drop overnight. The product is bought in large bulk meaning the sellers will run out the contract first before they adjust the prices meaning the tariff removal will not have an effect for months.

I know no one is going to listen. Put Patton Oswalt back on. I know what he said is deemed offensive, but he was responding to an incredibly heinous item. We can't fight authoritarian propaganda by pulling punches. Patton like many voices are embodiments of a velvet glove over a steel gauntlet.

They should totally send an old demented billionaire man across the country to speak about affordability. That will totally go over well in say Harlan County.

Houses in the US are now 4 times the cost they were from 6 years ago. This will just cause those houses to rocket past their tangible value and lead to inflated house prices. Pushing houses into unaffordable territory. Pumping low-grade debt into the market will inflate risk beyond manageable.

Tariffs stifle manufacturing jobs in wealthier nations because cost of inputs + wage is too high. Companies can't reduce cost of inputs unless special exemption but they can reduce labour by laying people off and embracing automation. The layoffs and AI embrace is about pivoting permanently.

There was no reason to fold at this point the Democratic Senators that voted for this just voted in the worst budget ever created. The spending simply consolidates wealth and power while removing institutional prosperity tools. This will now cement the K-Split in the US Economy and expand the gap.

What the US Admin and GOP is doing to Americans is cruelty unleashed. It is designed oppression meant to force submission.

They are playing half-court tennis. They believe the game is played by only lobbing balls over the net not expecting it to be served back. You can swing back harder.

Torontonian here. We elected a socialist democrat two years ago as mayor, she is the widow of the federal leader of the NDP -Bernie Sanders equivalent. The wealthy failed at their promise and did not flee. The threat is just hyperbolic equivalent of spilled milk.

Kevin O'Leary killed a person via boating DUI and got his wife to take the blame, nearly bankrupted Mattel via accounting fraud and failed in his bid to become Premier of Ontario. Ontario chose Doug Ford over him which is telling, since Doug is a scandal crony machine.

NYC send him to voicemail...

The shutdown is about the $536 billion USD in cuts to Medicare. If the Republicans pass their budget bill, the "deal" will only affect a handful of Americans who are eligible. Canada's getting generic weight loss drugs at $50 CAD per monthly dose in Jan 2026. Americans will just head north...

Struggling to see the leverage as companies pass tariffs costs into
1) Job Layoffs
2) Product quality/quantity reduction
3) Price Increases

When these tariffs pass into the service sector of the US that's when its going to really hurt and you won't be saying "yielding great results."

"He's worth a potential modest amount of money in today's age!"

Steve Forbes, Heritage foundation trustee is worth around half a billion dollars. Mamdani by the calculation of this article is worth around 0.30% of the owner/Editor in Chief of Forbes.

For anyone just tuning in, while the US fights back against actual fascism. In Canada, the Conservative party's first crack in their foundation is occurring as moderate members are considering crossing the floor. If that happens we may see the end of this Reform Conservative abomination.

"We have a history of fixing windows after we consistently break them." said the kids who throw stones at windows because they are paid to do so by the glassmaker.

Toronto ranks higher than Singapore in the overall index, first time it has hit the top 20.

Don't worry little beast of burden. The yoke of failure will remain on your neck for as long as you choose to pull in the wrong direction.

All I remember about Dick Cheney is that he was not a good person, he did bad things for reasons that were for himself and for the corporations that backed him. We all paid the price for his lust for power. He is dead, we mourn him not.

Pulling the city of Toronto out of a 1.5 billion dollar deficit left by the previous two scandal ridden mayors is not destruction. AA+ Rating for the first time in 23 years, QOL scores have gone up across the city.

This doesn't matter to you, you lap up misinformation like a beaten fevered beast.

Tomorrow Canada's House of Commons has to make a decision of whether we are going to have another election because they have to approve or not approve of the budget that our government is going to table.

Although inconvenient, that is in fact how Democracy works. Canada is a group project.

Toronto's got Olivia Chow, and she's been fighting against Doug Ford for the past couple of years. Much respect to the Montreal, and don't give up! We had to build a ladder of the Rob Ford -> John Tory debacle.

Now we got a mayor who bikes and fights for us.

This should never be happening and it all lies at the feet of the current US admin.
Americans are going to starve to death and it makes me weep.

We now enter a period of time where the possibility of starvation in the US has risen significantly it only takes roughly two weeks for fatality. 42 Million Americans are on Food Stamps. There has never been a famine in the U.S, ever. Holodomor, Hongerwinter, Great Chinese Famine....Stampfamine.

What a novel idea...Decimate your long haul trucking logistics by reducing the amount of drivers by approximately 15-20%. US admin is just plain dumb.

Hate will truly make you climb higher than reason.

US K-Split is now arrived and it's pronounced. The rich are spending, while everyone else's purchasing power is eroding. Productivity in the US will slowly drop and then US GDP will recede after the wealthy spending session ends because the length of time it will take on returns will increase.

If money good, ticket to BC from Toronto overnight cabin. If money bad, ticket to Montreal, business class, get drunk at the bar. If money ZERO, Streetcar.
