Exactly mate. Have to be robotic, I just buy similar day most months. Sometimes forget it, by it a few days later. Buy high/low/in between. Key is to ignore noise, negavity and simply dont sell well 'corrections'/crashes occur... which tends to be every 7 to 12 or so years. In same way housing market crashes... and historically always recovers, and surpasses previous highs.0.78% drop in my more equity heavy blended funds, 0.52% in the rest.. to be fair you get more movement when someone farts in Tehran. Still any drop is a good time to buy.
We could really do with the dollar dropping thanks, superb value for you guys if you want to head to Europe for a holiday but not us when heading anywhere dollar based.
That's why I mentioned the liberal effete Trudeau.large % of pronoun loving woke types though mate
I used to love thought of living out there, but over past few years become aware of a lot of liberal sillyness having quite an effect on the culture... apparently.
no doubt is fine overall, but defo a lot of noise around stuff some eyebrow raisng nonsense... that I'm sure you wouldnt appreciate, knowing your rough outlook on things.
far removed from masculine remote oil towns you'd probably enjoy more![]()
I think a key piece may have been the new "intelligence directive" related to fentanyl and organized crime. I think there are some issues with internal security in Canada that have been a sticking point, and that neither party cares to air out in public.I'm not convinced that that is the target, though. I am seeing reports that less than 1% of the fentanyl coming into the USA comes from the north. Trudeau had already committed CDN$1.3B to enhanced border security, so another CDN$200M is a drop in the bucket.
I have also read that in order to invoke these tariffs, they had to be wrapped in a National Emergency, which might have been so with Mexico but would not have snared Canada into the conversation. So, Canada pledges some extra dosh, and Trump saves face by relenting for a month.
It's all a dance to re-open USMCA and negotiate some better terms for USA. The 51st State stuff is just Trump being an a-hole, he has always used disruption to promulgate change.

I doubt it.I’m very interested to know why you think there are issues with internal security in Canada.
Seems a perfectly reasonable question to me.I doubt it.

Yeah, those inner workings are well beyond those on here. Might as well question Homeland Security (USA or UK) or what might be left of the FBI in a few weeks.I’m very interested to know why you think there are issues with internal security in Canada.
Yeah, but like Australia (another nation thats been spoilt by SJW's...), actual spaces where population lived is quite small/focused, despite amount of landmass in the countries.That's why I mentioned the liberal effete Trudeau.
Mind ..this Nation is as bad if not worse....and those types compacted into a tiny space in comparison to Canada.
Two thingsYeah, but like Australia (another nation thats been spoilt by SJW's...), actual spaces where population lived is quite small/focused, despite amount of landmass in the countries.
Was chatting to a woman in bmouth waterstones few weeks back. She popped in and was chatting to a member of staff in there... gauged quite quickly they were lesbians, in a relationship. They started debating trip to Rome.. one of my favourite cities, so after they stopped chatting, I spoke to one visiting shop.
I can't tell difference between US and Canadian acsents, but something made me say, are you from Canada... she was from Toronto. I asked if she likes it there, she said yes, but like all places, has issues.... she started saying something about problems with not enough housing in and around Toronto - some old laws about developing/expanding outwards onto protected land @Toronto John may be able to expand?
. She may have said that after I said about bmouth changing and homeless zombies taking over. Think I asked are you from Canada, as she had blue hair!!!! And like I say, read a lot about SJW/woke types gettiing out of hand in canada, apparently.
Must say, despite, her not being my type physically (and obviously I wasn't hers...), she was really nice, pleasant girl to chat to. No bitterness, attitude, or hostility, or negative vibe at all. Ended up talking for 15 mins about places around world, social stuff and did cross my mind about escalating and getting her number, but felt inappropriate in small store in front of her g/f.. just a really nice,good natured, pleasant girl... unlke the drosswith sh1tty attitudes i come across too often online these days. Think I'm in love sctualky

There is a little trick for "outing" Canadians. Get them to say the word out, for the Anglophones it mostly sounds like oot. Canadians also use eh? (pronounced ay) as tag much more than any other kind of English as a first language speaker.Two things
1) I learned to always say are you from Canada if you are not sure if they are US or Canadian.**
2) Never judge a book by it's cover, or hair colour
**Similar rule for Aussies vs New Zealanders. Ask if they are from NZ
Well, as you have asked very nicelyI can't tell difference between US and Canadian acsents, but something made me say, are you from Canada... she was from Toronto. I asked if she likes it there, she said yes, but like all places, has issues.... she started saying something about problems with not enough housing in and around Toronto - some old laws about developing/expanding outwards onto protected land @Toronto John may be able to expand?
The first of these is peculiar to only parts of the country. Mostly east coast which has a preponderance of people of British background. Also true to some of the prairie provinces, which also have a large population of people with a British background and also European (german, ukranian).There is a little trick for "outing" Canadians.

The Aussie/Kiwi distinction is much easier.
New Zealand English has undergone a vowel shift (similar to the Northern Cities Shift in the USA). Two examples: instead of cricket, they say crucket and ten cents sound like tin cints.
So how would I elicit an "eh" to litmus test?The first of these is peculiar to only parts of the country. Mostly east coast which has a preponderance of people of British background.

You will rarely hear oot in Toronto, Alberta or British Columbia.
Eh, however ..... yes that's prevalent. Usually used as an interrogative, but presuming an affirmative response ..... i.e. that was some game on Saturday, eh? Sure was, but that ref really screwed us over, eh?

I’m not sure paraphrasing Churchill is necessarily apt for today.Democracy is too precious to be left to the voters
