Here’s what we have coming up.
Over the years my blogs on macroeconomics have foreshadowed the show down between the US and China. Canada is now collateral damage and I don’t think anyone could see this coming. The conflict between our two countries is more about China projecting its image of power to its people, but what has come to the surface is the difference in the rule of law, of our nations.
Canada has detained Meng Wanzhou, CFO and daughter of the founder of Huawei, on a New York court ruling that invoked Canada’s extradition treaty with the US. China has retaliated in response by simply capturing Canadians and using laws to express their displeasure.

Burlington, Ontario—IR is spreading its reach, across Canada that is. In addition to its offices and showroom in Western Canada—Edmonton, Alberta to be specific–IR will now have an eastern presence. The change takes place with the opening of their new location in Burlington, Ontario.
Edmonton, Alberta—In conjunction with NAIT’s recent celebration on their record-breaking fundraising campaign and the upcoming opening of their Productivity and Innovation Centre, IR Supplies and Services is pleased to announce their contribution to furthering the studies of future professionals in the NDT (non-destructive testing) industry.
Iranian nuclear deal gets Trumped! But why now?Trump has had several opportunities to back out of the Joint Comprehensive Plan of Action, (JCPOA), or the Iran nuclear deal, so why now?

It wants to continue to expand its influence into Iraq. Iran is in a position where it could become the dominant force in the Middle East, re-establishing the Persian Empire. That would not be in the best interest of America or most of its allies.
