Nasty is a compliment. It's what he called Freeland after she stood up to him in the last trade negotiations.
It's also pretty funny from a guy who jails children, threatens others constantly, abuses power, and makes enemies just by breathing. I actually think in his head "nasty" really just means "won't simply bend over for me".
I've started listening to the audiobook Canada alone, and so far it's very prescient of what's happening. Worth a read / listen.
Excellent post. The Finland comparison seems very appropriate.
I also complete agree about getting off American social media, especially Facebook.
Getting off Facebook is one of the most important things we can do since it's the largest spreader of misinformation.
Tucows, easyhosting, and rebel are all Canadian registrars I've dealt with.
The Guardian published a story today about how Sweden's move to a cashless society is backfiring on them.
Good info from the inside, thanks. I had some money in a Digital Payments ETF but I recently dumped it and moved the money to a European fund instead. This makes me feel a bit better about that decision.
Good post. This is pretty much what I do.
Urban Barn is a Canadian company and some (though I don't think all) of their products are made here. I've had a Canadian made sofa from them for a while now and I love it.
What a bunch of shit bags. The tarrifs violate the same trade agreement the cheeto signed a few years ago. If he doesn't like it, he can request a review in 2026. Until then, he should live up to his agreements. His actions make it abundantly clear any agreement with him isn't worth shit.
And using annexation threats as trade leverage to pass his tax cuts for the rich is beyond despicable.

I'm not a financial professional but it depends on the purpose of your savings.
If you plan on buying a house then maxxing your FHSA contributions is a good place to start, probably before a TFSA.
After this, it depends on your work and income status. If you're making decent money, I'd invest in an RRSP before a TFSA since you get both a tax credit and can borrow from your RRSP as a first-time home buyer (I think 15 years to repay). If you don't need the tax break or aren't really thinking of buying a home in the mid-term future, then a TFSA.
ETFs are a good choice for the inexperienced, buy-and-hold investor. You can either pick a few sectors you know something about, or buy a broad fund like a TSX 60 fund. ETFs are low cost and you can buy yourself with a discount online broker like Wealthsimple or Questrade.
