Canada is Diversifying Because of U.S. Actions and the Pace is Quickening
The actions of America’s president have not only forced Canada to rethink its entire relationship with the U.S., it has made Canadians decide that their economic future, and their sovereignty can never again be leveraged by U.S. self-interest. To that end, Canada has, in less than ten months, dropped its trade dependence on the U.S.…

Trump:
Riding Harley Davidson Into the Ground Harley Davidson hasn’t made a right decision, that I can remember. Yesterday, the company’s plan to avoid European custom duties, failed. HD had been sued over its attempt to import motorcycles into Europe, without paying customs duties. Rideapart.com reported yesterday that; According to the EU’s Court of Justice, “The…

Trump’s Hate Has Infected America

If the British…

From American Dream to American Nightmare
I grew up watching John F. Kennedy on the nightly news, on what was a circular RCA Black and White TV whose picture quality approximated looking through a mayonnaise jar, empty but not yet cleaned. I grew up poor, but never saw myself as disadvantaged. I could change that. I knew I had the means…

How Will Your World Change If Trump Wins?
This question begs for an answer. In the past, when a dictator takes power, there is a brief respite prior to enacting mandates and edicts. There usually is a period of dismantlement, which in the case of the United States, began during trump’s first Presidency. The Supreme Court was the first victims of trump’s dismantlement…
