Client Appreciation Barbecue

Edmonton Open House

 

Version française à suivre

Mark your calendars.  IR is hosting a client appreciation barbecue on Tuesday, June 18, 2024, at the Edmonton location, and you’re invited!

Join us for lunch.  It’s going to be simple this year–think burgers, smokies, fries, salads and drinks…we’re cooking.  The fries will be made from scratch right on the spot; it doesn’t get any better than that.  The grill is open at 11:00am and we’ll keep it fired up until 2:00pm.  It will be an open house format, so come for a quick bite or kick back and make an afternoon of it.  Either way, we’d love to see you.

A Mouse between Two Gorillas

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. This is something that Hong Kong has been deathly afraid of and are now responding to with estimates of hundreds of thousands, or as high as over a million, people protesting in the streets.

Long-standing conservative strongholds have moved to the other extreme and we now have a sharp movement to the left. Small minority groups have more say it seems than the larger Canadian populations, and some provinces seem to be holding others hostage in a confederation that seems to be eroding at the edges, as minority local interests override national ones.
