QuoteIndia has long viewed Canada as the "younger brother" of the United States, slow to approve foreign investment and major projects, but this perception is changing under Prime Minister Mark Carney, the Indian high commissioner to Canada says.

Ottawa and New Delhi are preparing to launch talks on a comprehensive trade deal as the Prime Minister makes plans for a March trip to the Indian subcontinent, his first.

The high commissioner, Dinesh Patnaik, said in an interview on Tuesday that in India's view Mr. Carney has been carving out a more independent role for Canada, including with his much-lauded Jan. 20 speech at the World Economic Forum.

First Europe, then Canada for India.

Some Americans must be really tired to win.
Healthcare costs rising, no checks from Doge, no checks from tariff money, no tax credit for a car purchase, no tax cuts for everyone and a cut to social security benefits, but a gift tax exemption up to 30 million$ per couple so the average American can leave a little something his children.

At least, my friend Admiral Yi is satisfied that the US military budget is going way down now that they don't have to care about European and Canadian freeloaders.
Ah, half a trillion increase on this side.

Well. Time to bunker up.

Nice way to sum it up.

I want to be one of the skeletons in Fallout, posed in a funny way that nobody moves after 200 years.

"Madam, do you know there is a skeleton sitting at one of the booths in your dinner"

"Yeah, he brings in customers."
