You can pause the tariffs but you can't pause the uncertainty you've introduced into the system, Don.

Well you sure aren't so it really seems like you're looking for a saviour. Go save yourself.

What makes us brothers and sisters? I've never cared for the USA. You're a net negative on the world and that's been true through both Democratic and Republican administrations. I know you guys like to huff your own propaganda but frankly your country deserves the ruin it's bringing on itself.

Funny, your mad king sure seems fascinated by us. But don't worry, I understand that your word is worthless so I won't hold you to your promise.

This person won't win her race and the Conservatives are looking pretty unlikely to form government so I guess maga will just stick to ruining your country.

The governor of a national bank is simply not a politician… They are appointed by a politician, yes. But they aren’t voted in

Do politicians only exist in democratic states, then? A governor of a national bank is absolutely making political decisions. They are a politician.

And to say that economics isn’t a science

What I said was, economics isn't a science like physics is a science. It is a social science. Economists like to develop very complicated mathematical models to mask that fact, but the foundations those models are based on aren't natural laws like a physicist might work with. They are based on ideological assumptions.

Gotta lay off the fent and brocasts

Uh huh.

And what I'm saying is that the governor is a politician. Economics isn't a science like physics is a science. Their decisions are going to be coloured by their ideology.

Governor of a national bank is absolutely not apolitical. Stephen Harper or the British Conservatives weren't going to appoint a Marxian economist to the position no matter what kind of resume they might have. Their appointees are going to be politically copacetic.
