Some interesting facts issued forth this past week – I use the word, “facts”, deliberately and advisedly as so much of what we read/hear today only loosely fits that classification (if at all). I am addressing not only the issue of fake news, however defined, but also the deliberate slanting of the raw data used to generate the so-named facts. … Read More

The Jerks Are Jerking Us Around
Good afternoon from Canada – land of the stockpiled canola and the embargoed pork. Well, those of us concerned with international trade can breathe a little easier (but probably not for long). China and the USA have agreed to talk some more and, in the interval, Huawei gets a lifeline for parts and everyone else gets a lifeline from … Read More

Nothing serious?
Good evening from Canada…well, it sure has been an interesting week.

Folks, I don’t make this stuff up … Read More

And They’re All Painted Black

Just a few months ago economic pundits everywhere were extolling the ongoing economic expansion while casually drowning any meek voice of dissension in a flood of supporting drivel. And now … Read More
