@fhoro Canadian dinosaurs Just buy VSP and XQQ and leave it alone??

This morning’s note including top yielding TSX60 stocks and some Willie Nelson franceshorodelski.com/f/how-long-is-…

@frau_barratt @tacosylibertad What did you do to go officially non resident

I am. Bit of advice tho…. go live where you want to move to for at least three months, preferably six, before you pull the trigger, just to make sure you know what you’re signing up for. And keep your Canadian citizenship but do go officially non-resident. Hate what Canada has become all you like, but recognize that that passport is one of the best in the world for future travel. Being pragmatic about that will help you much more than being spiteful will. I’ll be retiring to outside of Canada, where 14% year over year over year living wage increases can’t touch me.

It's been 5 years since Covid. A lot of Canadians have stopped asking how to fix the country and started asking how to leave it. How many are quietly working on an exit plan right now?

@TimLasson @tacosylibertad Did you hire a lawyer in Canada to help you move permanently

@tacosylibertad I'm sitting in a restaurant in Panama City typing this. Met with our real estate guy this morning, going back to Canada next week to sell the house, one way flight back to Panama in August.

@Smileyyeg Do people not understand what a giant EGO is? Carney has a giant EGO and it’s getting in the way of a deal with trump

It really does seem that Mexico will get a deal and Canada will not. Carney is in fact a shit negotiator.

@JJ_McCullough Good for Quebec

I was watching the inauguration of the new Quebec premier, and it's wild how much Quebec does its own thing and brazenly ignores everything Ottawa insists is important. Like, there was no land acknowledgment, they cut out all references to the monarchy, and nothing was bilingual.

@josh_wingrove Have you ever seen a whale kill a seal? It plays with it and tosses it into the air a few times before he kills it

(Bloomberg) -- US Trade Representative Jamieson Greer said the US might have to take action against Canada over its rejection of American wine and spirits.

@TiffanyFong I peruse X for the most stupid questions which have the most stupid replies - this one wins it today

do men ever sit down to pee?

@cbcwatcher Blah blah blah Carney has pissed off the big D now they are going to pay 😂😂🤪🤪 Well deserved as well. Carneys EGO was damaged early and he reacted very badly now we’re going to pay

Radio-Canada broke the story that the US wants something to begin negotiations... like an "entry fee." And you don't often hear CBC in agreement over issues that Pierre Poilievre was pointing out again just yesterday. Carney, master Trump negotiator, gave up bargaining chips and got nothing in return David Common "Does it suggest that perhaps some of the things that Canada has given up already, that we did so too early, things like the digital services tax, some of the counter tariffs that were pulled off, the return of alcohol to some store shelves." "There are things that have already been conceded indeed, and there has been no gain from Canada's part on those concessions." "The digital tax, the abandon of some counter tariffs were seen as way to move the discussions forward." "And yet there was nothing gained from Canada by giving up those things." Daniel Thibeault "Indeed!" @markjcarney @PierrePoilievre

@Jenny_1884 I refused statins for 10 years, I prefered to live a different healthy lifestyle I was told by at least 6 doctors in 3 different countries They never explained why i should take them Then one sat me down and gave me a going over as to why i should take them That was 5 yrs ago

I’ve come to the conclusion that if we are told something is good for you then it isn’t, that’s why after researching I will not take Statins. If GPs are paid to prescribe certain products then I steer well & truly clear. I question everything now. Has anybody else refused them?

@Tempo_ae He should dump this one right away

Who do you think was at fault?

@MacLeodLisa @lraitt @JeanCharest_ Remove the politicians and let the business folks take care of it Politicians cannot talk business

Good. So is @lraitt and @JeanCharest_ 3 people I have supported for years. At a time when Canada needs to be well represented in the US we should all Thank God they are on that list.

@BoomerDivvies No more than 25%

What's an acceptable top income tax rate? What % do YOU think it's okay to make people pay? The top tax rate in B.C. (my rate) is 53.5% 🤯 And even worse, this rate kicks in at only $265,545 which is not very high. After that our govt takes more than half of every dollar.

@lucyhargreaves4 There is no need for any politician to be on this board Take leblanc off with the politicians and let carney step up and do his goddamn job I am a liberal and i want my leader to step up and lead He is becoming a Meglamaniac

disappointing to see that there is not a single founder, startup CEO, tech entrepreneur, VC, or innovation-economy builder on this committee this is an old-economy 🦕 list: > 12 legacy-industry executives or industry association leaders (aluminum, auto parts, steel, rail, pipelines, mining, agri, dairy, forestry, manufacturing, chamber) > 5 former politicians or current provincial premier > 2 labour leaders > 1 bank CEO > 1 Indigenous business association CEO > 1 cultural industry executive > 1 academic / US-politics specialist

The Brusselian steamroller is already in motion. Our patriotic government protected Hungarian children from aggressive LGBTQ propaganda. Now the Brusselian empire strikes back. We will not give up the fight for the soul of Europe!

@l_stone Take all the politicians out and leave the businees people to take care of it Unfortunately Carney has admitted he is neither by assembling people to do what he can not

Prime Minister Mark Carney’s new advisory committee on Canada-U.S. economic relations has been announced. To be chaired by Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc. #cdnpoli

@DeeCee_09 @MarkMcGrathCFP Im not convinced

New add to the RRSP today. $CAGE.to. New. Cheap. Global exposure. .28% MER. Will build some here and there. Normally a dividend investor, not ETFs. Do hold some $JEPQ for monthly income only, but like this one for growth. Hat tip to @MarkMcGrathCFP for the info on it.

@JasminLaine_ He is simply scared of trump. He doesn’t want to be in his presence He can not stand up to him - in other words “he is a pussy”

What’s your speculation behind why Mark Carney isn’t getting a deal with the U.S.A ?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ @gaye_gallops The job has to take into account the cost of materials and labour at a reasonable amount There are the contractors overheads obviously but if the contractor is charging an extortionate amount for a 30 minute job i would question it

This guy has an asphalt and sealcoating business that his dad started 23 years ago. He went to sealcoat this driveway and the customer told him that they weren’t paying because he did it too fast. He says just because he has perfected his craft doesn’t mean it’s cheaper work and doesn’t mean it’s cheaper in cost. Do you think this customer had a right not to pay them since they weren’t there very long? If you were the customer, are you paying for a result or for the time?

@BrockBlades @TheEXECUTlONER_ @MAC_ARMY1 Does your customers see you making them?

@TheEXECUTlONER_ @MAC_ARMY1 When I first started making knives it took about 10 hours to make a single knife. Now it takes me about 2 hours to make most models and they are better than my first efforts. Does that mean they should cost less because I got better?

@davidportier Because the opportunity was there.

A kind of important question we Conservatives need to ask ourselves is: Why did Mark Carney become a Liberal and not a Conservative?
