The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

And more evidence that Carney and co. are pretty much completely in the dark about how their own economy works: Lobster.

Carney wanted to punish Susan Collins and the state of Maine by taxing the crap out of lobster...until somebody told him that Maine lobster is most often processed in Canada. So all he'd be doing is nailing his own seafood processing plants by raising their input prices.

Canada quickly removed seafood from the list.

The more the actual deal comes out, the worse it looks for them. I say let the 50% tariffs ride for a while and see how they like it.

They deserve that after their state controlled media now refuses to call 9/11 a "terror" incident.

nypost.com - Canadas cbc instructs staff not to call a terrorist attack in news coverage

The Canadian Broadcasting Corporation instructed its staff not to refer to the killings on 9/11 as “terrorist attacks” ahead of its coverage of the 25th anniversary, according to an internal memo.

The public broadcaster reaffirmed that it would avoid using words like “terrorist” and “terrorism” when describing events, directing its staffers to follow the longstanding company policy that previously landed them in hot water during their Oct. 7, 2023, coverage.

“Do not refer to the Sept. 11 attacks as terrorist attacks,” the memo read. “The hijackings led to passenger jet crashes in Washington, D.C., Pennsylvania and Manhattan. The World Trade Center (WTC in second reference) was destroyed.”
