Canada is tied to the US whether we like it or not, with most of our exports going there due to proximity. If the USD falls 30%, in order to spurn domestic manufacturing in the US, we are screwed, since we are fully tethered to that wagon.

Maybe thats why he assumes we will give in, being worth 70 cents on the dollar to a currency that is falling to 70 cents on the dollar seems like quite a blow, and what does that do to our bond market and corresponding housing bubble?

Trump also put a 25% tariff on the auto sector, and only a 10% tariff on Alberta. People were obviously fearful that Pierre would side with Alberta.

Well I mean for corporate use. Everything you use will be through a web browser and all the data will be stored on corporate servers.

It will all be Chromebooks and software as a service by then. Unless you work as a SaaS vendor, then it will be automatically orchestrating docker containers.

Europe broke their own procurement laws in order to choose Microsoft for the cloud, its good that tariffs were enough for them to finally follow their own laws.

Even their AI crashes all the time, its brutal.

The problem I see with wind and solar is you need backup power, to handle the sinusoidal nature of production. So you need to duplicate your power production, and that costs a lot.

The price hike causes inflation, as the tariff is passed on to consumers. Interest rates control the growth in the money supply, with less physical money available the velocity of money slows and prices fall, which causes deflation.

Being cheaper than Lithium is great, but are they cheaper than nuclear?

The manpower of maintaining all these batteries seems like it would also be a lot, how would you do it for an entire grid, or would you need to have each individual placing a battery on their property to deal with brownouts?

Canada had the worst performance per capita in the entire OECD since the Liberals took over, beating only Luxembourg. Which now theres a doctor shortage, an extreme housing shortage, food bank usage is up dramatically; all after we took on a lot of debt that we now pay interest on. Can you say the cons would have been worse than all that?

Can you explain it to me because I’d love to know more. My base assumption is if the US had a spike in food prices would they not dramatically increase interest rates, until food prices deflated?

Rising rates would then drop their current asset bubble due to a contraction in money supply. Hence it could be seen not to be as much a tax as it would be a large amount of pain for existing asset holders who hold nominally valued assets, which would mainly be the rich?

Another assumption I’d make is higher inflation would also lead to a lower unemployment and greater wage pressure, due to the phillips curve?
