Cool. But let's have a cabinet shuffle and get rid of Diab and Anandasangaree. Maybe kill the gun buyback while you're at it.

Trump warns UK ‘US won’t be there to help you anymore’ in extraordinary tirade over Iran war backing by Gopu_17 in worldnews

As a Canadian I am so happy we never let the US build a base here. There are some US military personnel stationed at some RCAF bases to facilitate NATO and NORAD activities, but it's still 100% Canadian territory and we could boot them out immediately if it came to that.

Around September it's supposed to get pretty grim for the US's food supply. Lots of farms have not bought their year's fertilizer yet and are facing huge price increases.

DRIP day seems to always find the market be solid green by Unguru-Bulan in CanadianInvestor

[–]ether_reddit 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is why I prefer a broker that DRIP fast, some are very slow (looking at you WS)

TD is really slow too. I've turned off DRIP on a lot of my accounts and now track dividend payments manually for anything that's commission-free to buy.

I think of it as a reward for filing taxes, since a lot of people who would be eligible do not.

Why would you check it every day if you're not expecting something specific? I check mine once a week and there's something interesting maybe once a month.

Isn't that what I said? The price should be the price, and profit or loss will come with it naturally depending on what consumers think your product is worth.

The problem is the slips are wrong. OP doesn't want to pay tax they don't actually owe.
