One of my companies informed me they cancelled a $2m conference in Florida. Why ?
They didn’t feel they could pass on the incremental cost of tariffs. So they are cutting expenses.
That’s a city that lost a ton of tourism revenue.
The cost of tariffs isn’t just the cost of the tariff

Enough doom and gloom. How about a smile. This is a hero. Unnamed flight attendant on the Delta flight yesterday. Here she is with a smile on her face in the middle of evacuating passengers off the upside down plane.

Video of the crash in Toronto yesterday. Post from an ER doc whose hospital is very close to the airport.
I wasn't on duty yesterday when this happened, but watching our emergency response systems light up and coordinate minutes after this happened was amazing to see. Patients were taken across the city and seen and treated within minutes of arrival. No deaths, thankfully. Bravo!

Under Harper, the Conservatives denied 20,000 veterans’ funeral and burial applications, cut services, and disrespected our veterans. We can never trust them again to run Veterans Affairs or act in the public’s interest. Period.

The decision marked the fifth consecutive reduction since June and brings the central bank’s key rate down to 3.25 per cent.
