Ok. Just started to listen. I can’t resist. Rachel Gilmore. You’re welcome. More later.
Barf
Ha. I take it that’s a no.
Warren,
Kathleen Monk.
Oops-this was the good suggestion.
Warren,
Canadians are now in exactly the same situation as Carney has been since January. So…just suck it up.
Good suggestion.
Buy Brookfield
Warren,
To quote POS:
Weak, weak, weak!
Warren,
That’s the end of the Carney-Ford strategic alliance. Watch Ford going forward. Can’t wait to see what comes next. One thing is for sure: it will be a doozy.
Sharon Van Etten amazing. I have 17 tracks that make the cut. Just added the Spiritual Cramp collaboration(she has done a few):

This was the first. Pretty hard to avoid:

Not as popular but likely favourite. We Run fades into Aerosmith:

Enjoyed the Dazy track.
Dear Boy track find of the week for me(band and track). Great shoegaze.
Warren’s daughter is right:

I have a friend on a Provincially appointed board and there was a directive from on high that he had to do a land acknowledgement and he told the chair that he wouldn’t(because of the hypocrisy of it and for no other reason). Not sure how he stick handled it but he won the day somehow.
The second Chapin reminded us about the previous 6 game series wins, I actually cringed. Streaks always make me nervous.
On the budget, been running around a bit this week-end because someone told me that “people connected to Carney”(hilarious) have suggested that such and such will be in the budget. I would say the odds are about 99.99 per cent against the change they are suggesting but will still take out some insurance on Monday for a few clients(but not personally because I don’t believe it). This will be my litmus test on Tuesday. There are so many things they could do with life insurance that would only impact life insurance companies, fee based advisors and the super-rich that if they aren’t in the budget it will confirm who Carney is carrying water for.
Currently mocking the downtown Toronto professionals that made the prediction mentioned above. Morons.
And we do now know who Carney is carrying water for. Any idiot knew what loopholes should have been closed with this budget and they only closed one big one. But, by closing that one(the use of corporate beneficiaries to extend the 21 year deferral of trust disposition) they are only hurting wealthy taxpayers-not financial institutions related to the sale of life insurance policies(lots of shite they should have shut down there). And guess what and by way, Brookfield is invested in an annuity company.
They also went after the public sector and not multi millionaire dual home downtown Toronto types collecting OAS. How is that Elbows Up plan working for the NDP?
Oh and small point, British use of “ise” all throughout the budget. I remember when possessing multi citizenships was a thing when Scheer had two. That was so cute! Anyone know if Carney has opened his constituency office yet? I am sure a bunch of his public service constituents will have lots of questions.
Oh-they did get rid of the moronic, idiotic UHT brain dead idea but it did take them 4 years to do it. Let’s hope that whoever the genius was that came up with that idea is one of the 40,000 they lay off.
