Every Saturday I would visit my dad with a pizza. We enjoyed our time. Living life on slice at a time. You can't top that!

That picture above the clock is me working for his business at the age of 13. He was always quick with a smile! Enjoy your parents
Looks like the US government is going to try to take complete control over the bond market. Seems like a pretty bearish signal for the dollar to me. Is the Toilet Paper Trade about to kick into high gear? 🧻💵
@JJfromMTL Trump is quite the piece of work. Everything the US buys from Canada is a subsidy through his eyes. Pretty obvious that the bulk of that imbalances is energy and potash..an Energy East pipeline through Quebec to NB would even grow that imbalance more. Let’s get it built. IMHO
In about a 15 block radius, near me this morning
Gas prices
Esso $1.93
Shell $1.88
Petro Canada $1.93
Shell $1.75
Mobile $1.69
Depaneur $1.69
Esso $1.93
Nuts!
I'm hedged. I own shares of $su (petro canada)
@Merlice1 Not really sure. Still mind boggling that we import so much from the U.S.
Quebec continues to be allergic to pipelines
They could even start producing NG
Until we get a Liberal party victory at the provincial level, it won't happen
We live in a bubble here
212 years ago today, on August 24, 1814, forces from present-day Canada serving the British Empire burned the White House in retaliation for the American attack on York — now Toronto — during the War of 1812.
If Canada must be dragged into a trade war, might as well be when oil is US$87/barrel, gold is US$4600/oz, potash is US$400/tonne, aluminum is US$3250/tonne and copper is US$6.50/lb 📈
Our relative position is much better than it was in January 2025.
Tonight, I’m making Canadian pancakes here in Nuuk, Greenland 🇬🇱
Supporting our Canadian friends and neighbours 🇨🇦
You can actually buy this Canadian pancake mix at a local store here in Nuuk — and as you can see on the price tag, it’s imported directly from Canada.
And to make it even more Canadian, I still have some Canadian maple syrup that was sent to me last year. 🍁
Canadian pancakes with Canadian maple syrup tonight!
The U.S. is heavily dependent on Canada for crude oil—and for nearly all of the natural gas it imports.
That’s called leverage.
So why is Trump trying to strong-arm a good neighbor that holds some of America’s most important energy cards?
Does he not understand the dependency—or is coercion simply the only form of diplomacy he knows?
@JJfromMTL ~$1.75 to $1.79 in Sask Remember to tag your RBC credit card for immediate .03 saving plus additional.05 build for future use At PetroCan gas stations. That extra .08 buys a lot of my business. And yes I’m also hedged with my Suncor shares. Actually surprised gas isn’t more $
