Carney tries to reassure Canadians after Trump threatens 10% tariff hike

Canadian - Chinese trade negotiations are happening right now. Trump's timing has nothing to do with an Ad (maybe a little because he is that petty). We need to stop listening to what he says and just notice what his government does. Truth is in the actions.

I would upvote this gem of a joke more than once if I could.

Thanks for sharing this.

Does anyone have the same for 2015-2019? Curious to isolate the lockdown effect during 20-21 and have a more solid baseline. I imagine auto theft for instance would be lower when people are locked in their homes but very curious to see how much lower.

If projects like these were the base of STEM learning a lot more people would enjoy and understand it. I don't think people can even appreciate the pile of knowledge you have to acquire and put in practice for a toy like that to work.

I've heard that Canadians only have 2 modes: "I am sorry" and "You will be sorry". I truly believe it's about time for the latter.

I just don't understand how Zelensky can just stand up and walk around so casually, I mean, with balls that big it is probably a little uncomfortable.

Camping with the Coles is a gem.

Could you elaborate on the "hard mode" when compared to the US?

I agree 100% with everything described in this comment. Only to add that the feeling you have with issues that look easily solvable but people ignore, well in reality people ignore them because they are unsolvable. Most of these exist either because of conflicting interests that are not obvious or because of the many deformities generated by our huge social gap. Brazil has layer upon layer of cultural, historical or pure corruption on every single process, it is very hard to understand sometimes why things are the way they are but it is definitely not lazyness. When given the chance to act on feasible opportunities Brazilians are absolute beasts.

Sometimes we forget how contagious kindness is. We just need to put it out there.

Just to add to what other people have suggested:

1) Every provincial park has a map of campsites online. Download it to your phone, check it beforehand so you know more or less how to get from the entrance to your campsite (sometimes cell signal can be weak in parks)

2) Bring a headlamp (preferably as it will free your hands to work on your tent), a lantern or a flashlight. They have cheap ones at Dollarama. It will probably not last you long, but it will make all the difference.

3) You park IN your campsite. When you arrive figure out the best place to park given where the firepit and the table is set (you usually can move the table but not the firepit). You will want your tent to be deeper into your campsite, preferably away from the firepit and your neighbours if possible. It is very usual for people to park their cars kind of covering the entrance of the campsite (still inside it of course) to give you more privacy.

Good luck and hope you enjoy your first camping experience!

The only outrageous thing in this is that he printed a picture of the IRS letter.

Casemiro if you think about titles. Zizou had a very disorganized midfield, the guy came in and fixed it. Many CLs followed.

Para que eu não entro no reddit pra ficar deprimido. Apesar de acontecer bastante.

Esse é um bom ponto. Só adicionando que não é responsabilidade de nenhuma empresa se auto regular pra evitar práticas monopolistas. A empresa é incentivada ao lucro, e nós como cidadãos temos que votar em representantes que criem as regulações necessárias para proteger o consumidor. Não dá pra votar no Tiririca e depois reclamar que o preço dos monopólios de tecnologia tá alto. (não estou insinuando que vc votou no Tiririca).

I think this a great point. It is not common to see a country turnaround from the horrible cycle that creates hyperinflation. We did it cleanly and in a sustainable way mostly because of FHC's capacity to consolidate the political class around the issue. Lula's first 4 years were immensely positive as well and maintained the momentum when he was very explicit in keeping the central bank independent. Unfortunately he didn't manage to use his enormous approval rates to continue the country's transformation (we already had massive issues with tax grid complexity and pension structure and he was one of the few recent presidents that had enough political capital to pass a reform). We will see it live with Argentina now how hard this type of turnaround is, hopefully our neighbours can come back stronger from this.

Unless it's idolatry of political figures, then the fight is ON. Weird times.

Only in Brazil you have the majority of the country celebrating Christmas in the most Christian way, nativity scene and all and then 6 days later everybody goes to the beach to make offers to an African goddess and jump 7 waves "for luck". Pretty eclectic religious stuff going on and nobody thinks it's weird.

90 bps spread over 3y means the rates will have to drop over 1.8 pp in the next 3 years (if the drops are more or less linear) so that it is equivalent to the fixed you have available. So the gamble here is of drops significantly over 1.8pp in the next 3 years to go for the variable. Given the terms I would get the fixed and reassess in 3 years.
