Beg to disagree about the after dark! Hunting bongo in Cameroon we tracked too long but got the bongo (day 12 of 14 day hunt). Had we not got it, we’d have gotten out in time but with butchering and carrying the loads and then getting lost (who says the Bako don’t get lost?!), it got dark...

Corporate finance. From London School of Economics.

You’re likely right. A BA in economics and two law degrees (one a Masters) isn’t enough education to grasp the simple concept you’re selling. My misfortune.

You only pay more if Walmart decides to continue bringing in the product which the Chinese vendor has refused to lower the price on, and sell it at the old price plus the tariff, or eat into Walmart’s own profits by absorbing some or all of the impact of the added tariff. Otherwise, the shelf...

So what you’re saying is that while “America may be the richest country in the world”, it needs to be richer, especially richer than say, the Falkland Islands because . . . More wealth inequality is always a good thing. Got it.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand this comment. Tariffs are paid by the person or entity bringing the product into the country, right? I mean, the US government can’t impose the charge on the Chinese manufacturer? So in the case of Walmart, it’s Walmart that pays for the product in China...

BTW, feel free to pick on me. I can take it.

You are 100% correct. Canada has no one to blame but itself for not stopping illegal guns at our southern border. It’s high time we did something about, though I won’t hold my breath. The Liberal governments we’ve had in this country seem to believe that taking guns away from legal owners is...

Agree completely. This is what the USMCA says, in part: “The Government of the United States of America, the Government of the United Mexican States, and the Government of Canada (collectively “the Parties”), resolving to: STRENGTHEN ANEW the longstanding friendship between them and their...

I can cite just as many which state the contrary, as well as a cursory glance at the agreement itself. But it may be sufficient to say that the US Senate doesn’t agree with you . . . But I guess the Democrats control that . . . Oops, my bad . . . It’s controlled by the Republicans.

How much fentanyl (the excuse for attacking Canada) do you think enters the US through Canada every year? Latest figures from the US government: 1/10 of 1%. More fentanyl enters Canada from the US than the other way around. Yet, again we poor Canadians think that a sovereign country protects...

Seriously?

Canada could be late to the party because they thought they had a trade agreement with the US, the USMCA, which replaced NAFTA. At the time that agreement was entered into, the then President of the US, when signing it, said this: “The USMCA is the fairest, most balanced, and beneficial trade...

Was hoping . . .

I think prudence would dictate that countries should avoid US weapons systems for the foreseeable future, if at all possible.
