@EdLatimore @mjwerry @BrokenCountry_ About 1.5% of individual tax filers are top bracketed out of a total 33 million filers. No big deal. Plug and play with the linked tool.

@RichardDias_CFA Immigration since 2015 did not put downward pressure on median real hourly wages.

@Tablesalt13 World of Life Bible Institute in Hudson, Florida is OSAP eligible. Too funny.

@Tablesalt13 Fraser Institute BS. Median weekly wages for full time wage & salary workers in 2025- $1200* in the US and $1320** in Canada. Applying 85% OECD purchasing power parity, Canadian wages were $1120 in US dollars or 7% less.

@Bratt_world A truer cross country comparison would include the $160 billion of the Quebec Pension Plan assets. Canadians have more than 3x the assets than Americans do in their government social security plans.

@jpuopolo Cleveland Cliffs did not declare force majeure when the section 232 tariffs, initially 25%, subsequently 50%, were imposed. The feds are going to roll them over in court for its 5 year Investment Canada labour commitments and ultimately there will be a divestiture order.

@RichardDias_CFA 17% of Ontarians (49% of Albertans) give a crap about Senate seats by population. Ontario should have 39 not 24 seats and Alberta should have 12 not 6 seats in the Senate, as of July 1, 2026 population estimates.

@Tablesalt13 Toronto cops will be lining up around the block for a sergeant position in the Mississippi Highway Safety Patrol at $67,000 per year You are a twit.

@JasminLaine Trump has threatened to annex Canada dozens of times since his meeting with Trudeau on November 29, 2024. It is a serious, real present threat to Canadian sovereignty and deeply disrespectful of a long term ally.

@RichardDias_CFA Since Carney became PM in March 2025, Canada payroll employment has increased 3X faster than US payrolls through July 2026.

@HallasMat @BuckBles @Tablesalt13 I question the economics of the Churchill port but a smallish 20 tons of potash was recently shipped to Europe.

[marmico @marmico2]

@Tablesalt13 It's about flows. If Canada potash miners export less to the US, they will export more to their customers in 40 other countries. Diversification away from the US, baby!

@MAAWLAW @acoyne Have you touched a major trade file since you left Fasken 20 years ago?

[marmico @marmico2]

@RichardDias_CFA Huh. Higher oil prices increase nominal not real GDP. In the 2 quarters ending Q22026, real GDP rose $24.229B of which the mining, quarrying and oil and gas extraction subsector contributed $3.444B or 14.2%. Table 36-10-0449-01

@andrew_leach Gretna, Manitoba is almost due south of Winnipeg. That is where 3.2 million barrels per day of oil exits Canada on the Enbridge mainline.

[marmico @marmico2]

@RichardDias_CFA Cumulative real GDP per capita was 4.18% over 39 quarters ending Q42015 under PM Harper and 4.68% over 37 quarters ending Q12025 under PM Trudeau. Table 36-10-0706-29 (as of August 24, 2026). Too funny.

@JeffreyRWRath @WBrettWilson @ikwilson ON contributes 37% towards equalization. AB 15%. Give your head a shake.

[marmico @marmico2]

@JasminLaine Expect lawsuits this week challenging the section 338 tariffs. SCOTUS will rule them unlawful in 10-12 months (similar timeline to the IEPPA tariffs) and Trump will be back to square one but will have caused damage to Canadian firms and workers in the interim.

[marmico @marmico2]

@Dr_HeywoodFloyd @KimDotcom The TRQs have been ruled lawful by the USMCA dispute resolution panel.
