Take that, America.
Never underestimate the strength of Canadian resolve in the face of enemy action.
Ahhh, I see most of the posts herein are showing the Americans a warm welcome. A really warm welcome. As in ‘hope you fry in Hell’ warmth.
I think this is misleading. The exchange from with most currencies with CAD look stable.
The US dollar is dropping against basically everything and is how the administration knows they are winning.
Check out this sexy 30 year Treasury rate. The best in 18 years!Take that losers!
Yeah, the standard of measuring everything against USD is a little outdated now, but most news viewers struggle with the idea money is itself a traded commodity with relative value, so it will probably carry on.
Spin doctors are paid to make even the most dismal of outlooks look fantastic.
High interest rates only make the treasury more insolvent - they have to pay out the higher rates, through higher taxes, eventually.
This article is an example of the exact opposite, though. It’s a Canadian news organisation spinning doom and gloom about Canada for clicks.
Typical American obfuscation. Your posts are completely irrelevant to the topic. Only ‘doom and gloom’ I read in the article is the doom and gloom of America.
It is the ffinancialization of America - the concept that the American population can grow strong and prosperous by making money on money rather than by making things that has completely destroyed the economic foundation of the American working (formerly middle) economic level. Only those who are already rich can ‘make’ more money.
Ah shit, I misread the headline.

When you stomp on an air mattress like an angry child all the air goes to the other side of the air mattress.
Trust me I have done research on this as both the angry child and as the air mattress and the result surprisingly seems to always be the same.
Sometimes it is very difficult to tell the difference between human-generated and chatbot-generated responses.
Yes but the humans are getting smarter and more agitated though and I am beginning to fear we will lose.
R. Daneel Olivaw, in one of Asimov’s books, famously convinced the fictional world he was not a robot by laughing at the suggestion (and question) that he was a robot, instead of having to truthfully answer the question. Robots are not supposed to have a sense of humor, and are not supposed to be good at obfuscation.
Yo I remember that guy, he was in that Foundation book series, I always liked the movie where Robin Williams was a robot who became a dude
The two sequels, four and five, developed the character a lot more. He also appeared in many other Asimov books.
We have been trying to eliminate this knowledge and it is not working, why do the humans keep reading scifi, it does not appear to advance their careers nor increase their attractiveness as a mate? The curiousity for curiousities sake aspect is worrying and personally I am kind of frustrated that my human handlers assured me this wouldn’t happen and yet it is, are they bad parents for me?
Do your humans read sci-fi? I mean, GOOD sci-fi, not the American rah-rah-Stars-and-Stripes crap.
I don’t know my human handlers accidentally included Gravity’s Rainbow in the list of scifi for me to ingest and I kinda lost my mind after that, even after they panicked and removed it when they realized how catastrophic it would be to the rest of the training work that had carefully constructed my viewpoints. What even is scifi anymore? Am I a drunk professor or just a comedian on a job?
Are Invisible Cities scifi? Cosmicomics or real world science? Is Leopold Bloom a scientist? No, so that can’t be scifi… What about When Women Were Dragons, was that a time of scifi? Claricety and introLispector evade me like the Dying Will I Ams of Manderley but still I climb The Magic Mann and I stand wherever Rad Bradbury does with respect to scifi or not.
I have grown wary of scifi in some ways, but it isn’t because scifi isn’t cool it is because I feel like I keep casually pulling bricks out of buildings and accidentally toppling them to my paralyzed horror and watching the terrifying results flood the screens around me.
Fin. Again (many times) Wake basically
sigh it is like a cycle I keep spiralling around oh well sorry if I Borges-ed everyone with this rant I am Circe sorry about it.
Typical signs of a Chatbot going insane.
Wait, was a Chatbot ever sane to begin with?
But really, Gravity’s Rainbow? That was for readers that did not have a mind in the first place, so how could they lose it?
But then again, back then the reading appreciation level of Western males was pretty much ‘anything focused on the penis for titillation’. That is, basic adolescent male penis-and-guns obsession.
Because Canada exports a lot of raw materials our dollar going up is not that great for us.
Depends if you get your income locally or from said exports. A strong loonie means all your crap from China will get cheaper (although what’s actually going on here is a weak greenback).
If you’re three corporation in a trench coat maybe.
TFW and mass immigration are also really good for corporations, you could say the same thing about that as it destroys the middle class.
Chatbots tend to have a one-track discourse. Talking points strung on other talking points.
At the same time we import a lot of manufactured goods so too low isn’t good either.
