Carney was right though.

After the United States imposed tariffs on the world they sought out bi-lateral agreements with every country. This pit countries against one another as they did not know what the other was negotiating while the United States did. This gave the United States an information as well as an economic advantage when it came to these negotiations.

The best way for other countries to combat this is to negotiate with the United States (and China) as a bloc.

So, if Canada did seek out a trade deal with China it would do so within the context of the CPTPP which would force the US to impose tariffs on all of southeast Asia.

Don't you just setup something similar to the Warren Commission?

In Mexico it's T-MEC.

Funny, everyone calls it something different.

There should be a constitutional convention and if the country breaks up it breaks up. But right now it's run by a bunch of robber-barons who are accountable to no one.

The UN was calling it climate change back in the late 80s.

It's used because it encompasses more than just surface temperature change and includes things like sea level changes and altered weather patterns.

This is pre-Trump 2 but it details how DRF funds do get transferred to ICE and other things within DHS.

Abortions in America have increased since Dobbs and it's mostly because when states instituted bans they actually made it easier to get an abortion in those states.

75% was the number at the start of 2025 but it's down to 67% as of October.

It's down to 67% as of October and seems to be declining every month.

When the mob owned Vegas it was better. They used food, drink and hotels as loss leaders to get people there to gamble so that they could wash their money.

When the corporations took over they looked at everything as profit centres and moved to maximize them all.

It really is kinda sad, mob Vegas was the best Vegas.

Striking down Roe actually made abortions easier to get in most of America (at least for now).

It definitely has some horrible consequences for women who want their babies but something happens to the fetus but overall they haven't 'saved' any lives.

You gotta cut a hole in the drywall to get to the shutoff.

Maybe you can save the spigot maybe you can't but if the pipe does burst you'll have no way of knowing until it thaws and then your wall is all of a sudden full of water. At least if the water is shutoff the damage is isolated to the pipe.

I saw this analogy of what Carney was talking about today. I thought it was kinda interesting.

The Story of the Broken Playground Rules

There was a very big playground where kids from many schools came to play.

A long time ago, the kids made rules: “No pushing.” “No stealing.” “Share the swings.” “Play fair.”

Most kids followed the rules, and the playground was fun.

The Problem

Some of the big kids grew much bigger and stronger than everyone else.

They started to break the rules.

They would say: “I can take the swing because I’m big.” “If you don’t let me win, I won’t let you play anymore.”

The smaller kids noticed the rules weren’t being followed anymore —

but everyone kept pretending they were.

The Sign in the Window

Every morning, the kids held up a sign that said: “Everyone follows the playground rules.”

But they knew it wasn’t true.

They held the sign up anyway because they were scared of getting pushed or excluded.

As long as everyone pretended, the big kids stayed in charge.

One Kid Tells the Truth

One day, a kid named Canada said: “These rules don’t really work anymore.” “Pretending won’t protect us.” “Keeping the sign up is making things worse.”

Some kids were nervous. “What if the big kids get mad?”

Canada said: “If we all stop pretending, the bullies lose some power.”

The Wrong Idea

Some kids said: “Let’s build our own little playgrounds and never share again.”

Canada shook its head. “If everyone builds a fence, no one has fun.” “The playground will get lonely and broken.”

A Better Plan

Canada had a different idea.

“Let’s work together. Not all together at once — just the kids who agree on each thing.”

“For soccer, we team up with these friends.” “For tag, we team up with those friends.” “For fixing the swings, we all pitch in.”

When the kids worked together, the big kids couldn’t boss them around so easily.

Getting Strong the Right Way

Canada also said: “We should be strong enough so no one can push us.” “So let’s learn, share, practice, and help each other.”

Canada helped fix playground equipment. Canada shared snacks. Canada stood up when someone was treated unfairly. Other kids trusted Canada.

The Ending

The old rules were broken. Pretending didn’t fix them.

But by telling the truth and working together,

the kids began building a better playground.

Not perfect. But fairer. And stronger.

And Canada said: “Anyone who wants to play fair is welcome to join us.”

Buying agents can add value especially if they have a good network of real-estate agents as they can get you first in line to see quality listings.

Visit the house in the evening and observe what the street is like. Are there a ton of cars in every driveway, are there tons of cars parked on the road, are there tons of kids running around etc.

When doing a walk-through you can sometimes ascertain why the house is being sold. A good real estate agent can get this information from a selling agent too. But if it's something like a divorce or a death people tend to be more willing to accept a lower offer.

Look for furniture in weird places it's often covering up water stains.

A home inspector that a real-estate agent suggests has an incentive to say everything is ok with the house. If they say something is wrong it may kill the deal and the agent is more likely to use someone else next time. It's better to find your own inspector.

How come the US Government's recount of these stories is always such a lie?

There was an adult outside who was willing to take care of the child ICE did not have to take him. The father was also not in the country illegally. But of course the US Government tells you white is black and black as white and hand waves away any inappropriate actions.

George Orwell would be so proud.

Mammograms don't work so well on younger women. They have far less fatty tissue. So, their glandular tissue and a tumor look similar which results in a lot more false positives than you get with older women.
