The SBTC has a new vacancy on the Board of Directors to replace a director who is retiring. This is a small broker seat on the Board.

SBTC maintains Director & Officers' insurance for the protection of Board members. Most business is conducted virtually via phone, Zoom, text and email so time commitment is minimal.
Canada didn’t loot the U.S. auto industry in the dark.
Washington left the lights off.
Trump’s point was blunt: they took 20% of the car business because nobody in the White House stopped them. Not just the last guy. A long line of them.
Now the leverage is flipped.
Build there, eat a 25% tariff. Still won’t move? Make it 50. Make it 100. Or shut the door.
$60 to $100 billion walking north every year is not “friendship.” It’s a bad contract.
They sell almost everything to us. We don’t need them for oil, gas, or timber. They need this market.
That’s not a breakup speech. That’s a landlord finally reading the lease.
THIS IS HUGE.
If you fly airplanes — or just ride on them — read this.
China’s fingerprints are all over vendors now in the mix for America’s air traffic system. That should stop everyone cold.
“Thales” and “Indra” (two European companies) have deep, long-running ties inside China’s aviation and air traffic world. Joint ventures. Localized tech development. Close work with the Civil Aviation Administration of China. You name it.
Before DOT or the FAA hands them the keys to our National Airspace System, somebody needs to answer the obvious questions: cybersecurity, supply chain, and technology security.
Not later. Now!
This isn’t some abstract procurement fight. America’s air traffic system is critical national infrastructure. Knock it over and you don’t just get delayed flights. You get snarled commerce, broken supply chains, grounded emergency movement, and a national security problem you can see from space.
Cyber resilience isn’t a buzzword. A sophisticated attack that takes down availability of these systems could park airplanes, choke airports, stop cargo, and do real economic damage.
In short: We should not be volunteering extra vulnerabilities when we pick the companies this system will run on.
Buy America is national security. Federal money for critical infrastructure should build American capability — not deepen strategic dependence on foreign production with Beijing-adjacent relationships.
The FAA is considering vendors with serious China ties. That deserves hard scrutiny, not a shrug.

I’m truly saddened. When I often visited Canada which really was a place I wanted to be, I never felt so welcome and wanted. Of course it was usually visiting fairly high end fishing and hunting camps so the constituency was obviously happy to get Yankee dollars.
But (which erases everything I just said) they were my brothers in arms. I’d have gladly served with any of them anywhere. Men’s men true people. Nabbed me a beaver once too.
Secretary @howardlutnick on trade talks with Canada: "This is the Canadian Liberal Party using their economy to get themselves elected, even if they're selling their own citizens down the river. It's sad and disappointing."
When Dolly Parton approached Robert Plant for permission to record her version of “Stairway to Heaven,” she reportedly worried about how he would react. Instead, Plant’s response was wonderfully simple: “Of course you can, you’re Dolly Parton.”
And somehow, that feels like the perfect answer. Dolly didn’t try to copy Led Zeppelin — she took one of rock’s most iconic songs and made it unmistakably her own, adding a touch of country, gospel, and her unmistakable voice.
Sometimes, a legend recognizing another legend is all the permission you need.
