Carney's words at Davos, "...because if we're not at the table, we're on the menu." I'm feeling kinda peckish. Maybe Turkey, Texas is a good place to gobble up to start.

Canada's most ordered foods. Basically, fat on top of fat on top of fat. Because of the cold climate, right?

Office Empty Karma kinda day. The water in the kettle was below the minimum level, the milk container had a dribble left and only 2 squares on the toilet paper roll. I've reached my refill quota for the day. Somebody else's turn now.

Looked at Proportional Representation voting vs First-Past-The-Post & realized I prefer Mixed Member Proportional. Pick my riding rep and get a party seat top-up if the popular vote goes that way. Wonder if you can vote for a specific candidate and their opposing party? oooo...the possibilities...

Trade war escalates as Donald Trump raises tariffs on China to 125 percent
While escalating his trade war with China, Trump seeks to reverse a market slump by offering tariff relief elsewhere.

So...104% tariff on Chinese imports. Is that why they're seizing the phones at the border - there's going to be a massive shortage of regularly priced phones so border guards are stocking-piling for side sales.

Not to be insensitive, but, my 2nd thought was traffic's gonna be a nightmare. Then I wondered what the pub's legal capacity is. How the heck did I morph into such a health and safety nerd.

The Art of the Deal. The end result is irrelevant. The goal: prolong the adrenalin rush by forcing individual countries to prostrate themselves at his feet begging for as long as possible. Dealing with the EU as a group shortens the rush. He craves them one-by-one.

Canada's Prime Minister Mark Carney called Donald Trump's bluff by announcing yesterday that good relations between the two countries were "over." Having miscalculated, Trump caved today. #TheArtOfTheDeal
