One million dollars would solve all my problems with a ton left over. What possible need does someone have for a billion dollars? Or one hundred billion dollars? It’s nuts to think about people hoarding that much cash.

Not an economist but…. Would it not make sense for Canadians to ask their investment advisors to shift their portfolios to Canadian companies (or at least non-US companies)??? Would this not help spurr investment in Canada?

The conservatives are peddling a narrative that Canada is broken. This is simply not true. I can’t help but feel optimistic. Our economy is going to be better than ever. We are going to make our own products, our own scientific discoveries. We are going to come out of this stronger than ever!

I’m helping my grade 10 daughter with her math homework (standard deviations). I didn’t learn about this stuff until university. At the same time the US is shutting down the Dept of Education. Two countries going in very different directions.

Just installed Ubuntu on a really old MacBook. Seems snappy. Great way to bring an old laptop back from the dead. Best part - Google and Apple can’t be forced to give my data to the US government.

I love it when people post screen shots of the stock indices painted with red. I think it’s worth noting that while the TSX is dropping, it is outperforming the American indices fairly consistently. The tariffs appear to be disproportionately affecting the US.

Great quote I heard. If it has tires, testicles or a hard drive, you’re gonna have trouble.

March 8 BBQ. This is why the Americans will never take us. Yes, the chicken is Canadian.

I’m hoping to see a lot more of this. TSX up Dow Jones down. Let’s go Canada!

We talk a lot about emotional support Canadians. I think we all need to reach out to an American (preferably in a red state) and get to know them. It’s a lot harder to dislike a friend than an anonymous stranger.

Reminder to Canadians. Visa and MasterCard are American. Maybe time to go back to debit cards and good old cash. Some retailers will knock off the 2-3% credit card surcharge if you pay cash or debit.

I read that Canada made an all-electric car prototype to show off our parts making prowess. The vehicle was never intended for sale. Why not? I want my 100% Canadian Project Aarow car!

It was never about Fentanyl. Tariff threats are about manipulating the markets for personal gain.

I would welcome some advice from the Ukrainian people regarding what supplies would be useful to have on hand if things go badly for Canada. Extra cash, gasoline, medications??? I saw a post about saving old tires but don’t understand their use. A list would be helpful.
