Good morning, Babblers. :)

would love any clues out there for 7s or 8s. Ty
phantom: axiom
I think this is a difficult grid.
I welcome any help with 7s or 8s. Anyone have clues?
There is really no need to ask for clues more than once
But what if the person asking for a clue hasn't been here long enough to hear the previous clue?

Off to the PB where a land of benevolence greets me
Cs Conquered!
Oh ,it's lovely.Freedom of speech reigns and the seasons are as they should be.
The good thing about the chat is you can see the entire thing and glean clues from it before asking for more clues.
Hello, friends.
I see only stats for the 7s and 8s. Did i miss clues?

hmmm how to clue. na + smoked salmon + a number

yay!
any clues wanted?
ty atalante na 8/65
just read an article about the Coachella valley going all out to welcome Canadians back to spend their winters there again... they would be better to go after the US government and it's border policies. USA border guards are now demanding that we open our cell phones so that they can check everything on them before coming into the states. No way Jose -- I have personal medical and financial info stored on that phone -- no way will I allow an invasion of privacy like that - do they think canadians are crazy as well as push over's?
ugh!
hows mark carney managing?
How the hell is that legal Nan?
thanks for posting that, nan. We're planning to travel out of country later this year. Apparently, the US Border agents can check anyone's cell phones at an entry point, including US citizens. I did not know that. I just read an article about buying a pre-paid 'burner' cheap cell phone to take for travelling. We might do that. There's nothing interesting on our phones, but I'm a private person --- as much as anyone can be these days.
he hasn't had much time to do anything -- counter tariffs in place. I think once he gets into trade talks with Trump and Co. he won't be the pushover that Trudeau was.
Anything Trump wants is legal in the states now -- he has the Justice department's hands tied -- the USA is a democracy in name only now. Look how they are treating their "political" prisoners and detainees -- most people provide better conditions for their animals.
Carney was very good when he was working in UK. Absolutely no problem putting his foot down
ch1212 - don't take a laptop or tablet either -- same rules apply.
I understand, nan. It was heartening to see the 5M protesters across the country at the 'Hands Off' rallies. Our local chapter is so crowded with people at the meetings that they have gone to zoom to accomodate everyone. Historically, the passive, non-violent movements have been significantly more successful than the violent ones. I have hop.
That's reassuring to hear, Atalante
I mean, hope. Though sometimes I do hop. lol!
we have our fingers crossed as well ch1212 -- hoping the impeachment attempt next month is successful -- but with Vance being the one to step in I don't know if matters would improve or not
1 left ...
I think with all the meltdowns that Trump might be autistic -- unfortuneately for all of us, the bigger the kid, the bigger the tantrum
clue for the last ha5/12? I'm sure its probably onbvious
might be the Hawaiian word for white folks.
yes it is -- ends with a spanish cheer
TY TY!
YW YW!
grats to all the finishers and good luck to the rest of you -- bye and have a great day :)
Theres three books in my library which seem to be Trumps play list. Two are Attwoods - handmaids tale and the Oryx and Crake trilogy, and John Nivens The Fuck-it List. I suppose thats actually 5 books, but for books written so long ago, theyre scarily close, especially the fuck it and the trilogy.
bye nan.
Have a good one Nan. Im about ready for bed already.
I hadn't heard of Niven's book. I'll check it out.

cyber, i saw a bit of the conversation concerning the 'choosen one' ...i think it's all a lost cause .. i don't know if we can just wait it out and what the other side of the abyss will resemble
Good afternoon, Babblers. :)
People will take you more seriously when discussing politics if you refrain from dramatic statements like "the other side of the abyss".
rehi
I disagree Molly. What is happening at the moment in your country is totally unprecedented. Having a raving lunatic in charge of one of the world’s most powerful countries is terrifying. His bombastic speech the other day, when he spoke about other countries leaders ‘kissing his ass’ was reprehensible. The man is a danger to all citizens Planet Earth.

And Hi Mool. I was mid-rant when you appeared. 😊
Which is why people will be persuaded to listen more intently to those who don't spew the dramatic rhetoric that he does.
After 4 years of the demented puppet and the Democrats Trump is the breath of fresh air we desperately needed.
You must forgive us if we get a little hot under the collar when discussing Trump and his actions, but he is playing with the stock market like it is a rigged golf game as one of his courses while while peoples business go under and life savings are erased while he threatens, backs of, threatenes and backs off again. He seems to think that it is a game.
Of course the 25% remains on Canada and Mexico the last time I checked, so we continue with our countrr-teriffs.
Excuse the typos. :)
Trump doesn't scare me half as much as the people who support him do. But then, Hitler and Jim Jones had supporters too.
hey sood, sorry for the delay...was on a call
I will agree with you on that one, molly. It seems like he is being fed ideas form someone on the inside. There is no way that he is coming up with all of this on his own.
Well, all of Jim Jones acolytes wound up dead. Hope it does not happen in this case.
I can almost see Musk telling him when to add tariffs and when to back off.
Musk wants zero tariffs :)
Only because this is killing him in the stock market.
Peter Navarro appears to be the one helping Trump implement the tariffs, but the idea predates him
But you can be sure Musk is buying when the market tanks.
I feel we have more tanking to do yet
Nothing like presidential supplied insider trading, eh?
The insider trading story to me is a bit of a red herring. There's a lot more suspect stuff going on, from Trump's $1 million dollar dinner invites to his political appointees in the various agencies giving out grants to their buddies
8201girl, I do not think that those who are in the U.S tourism business will agree with you.
Oh, I am sure there is lots of nasty stuff going on in the background ss well.
Or small business owners, or farmers, or immigrants...or people collecting social security, or those disabled veterans who lost their jobs
I wonder if he charges his security detail the full rate when he is at one of his resorts, for example.
But at least the wealthiest people will get tax cuts, while the country goes further into debt
he did the first time round crossy
The rich get richer.
Can't imagine it's changed, plus he's fired a bunch of the people who would inspect that kind of abuse
He has so many grifts going it is impossible to keep track of them all.
Meanwhile they also downsized the IRS, making it easier for the wealthier folks and corporations to avoid paying taxes
Almost all that information is out there, for anyone interested in looking
Is he still working on gutting the SS?
The grant stuff isn't publicly available yet as far as I know
How do I turn off the chat?
Click on any of the boxes above like who's online
We are trying to keep abreast of his actions, but you almost need a playbook, plus we are turned inward to bolster ourselve and looking at other partners, other markets.
thanks
On Social Security it appears 7000 of the 60,000 employees are to be let go, and there's reports they may look to fire as much as half
Sorry, I should not hog the chog with politics.
Yeah, that happened in his first administration. Soy bean farmers in the US lost market share in China and never got it back after those tariffs.
But it is a facet in everyone lives now. Nobody is unaffected.
Canada, Mexico, and China are the canaries in the coal mine.
One interesting thing to note us that Denmark recently purchased the entire rail system that services the Panama Canal. That will frost Trumps cojones. :(
Yeah, I think the days of the US leading the world economy are coming to an end. Untrustworthy partner, attacks friends, policies shifting without any warning. Countries are going to go find better suppliers and invest elsewhere rather than the US, which will hurt the US economy for decades
I think so as well. Things will never be as they once were.
took less than 80 days to accomplish all that :)
One good thing is that Trump made us look inward, come together as a nation, and realize that we can improve ourself, and not to have all of our trading eggs in one basket.
Did expose Poilievre quite a bit...some dramatic poll shifts up there in a very short time
Our LNG plant is coming online ss we speak, and the E.U is ready to place orders. We are setting up car deals with Japan, aluminum deals with China.
P.P is not my choice for P.M
Yeah, doesn't seem like someone I would get behind
Oh and we ordered a early detection system fron the Aussies.
Plus we are working trade deals with them. My worry is that should things continue as they are, the U.S will become an isolated country.
That is how it always should have been in Canada. It shouldn't have taken Trump to do that.
I keep trying to find words from tiles I've already completed
You are right, molly. We are erasing inter-provincial trade barriers which should have been done long ago.
Trade with the U.S has always bern a marriage if conveinience, but no more.
Well I think it's logically the case. Shipping goods has a cost, so keeping things closer always makes more financial sense
The sad thing about America is that we are now being "led" by someone as tyrannical as the Brit King we stood up to in the first place.
And it's not logical what is happening, so it was really a very low risk. As for the interprovincial thing, that should have happened ages ago :)
With and extra 25% tacked on it no longer makes sense.
Lumer is even higher, though I do not have a oercentage on that. It changes so fast.
Lumber
chances are it'll chance next week, or tomorrow anyway
Wonder when he is going to refloat his previous idea of opening up the national parks for lumber?
Maybe recycle on beds :)
We could also disassemble all those old unused railway tracks if you don't mind a bit of arsenic in your wood
:/
Wait until new U.S home build cost 25% more. He cannot replace all that lumber in a heartbeat.
Was just reading this morning that about 20-25% of a new residential build is sourced from materials from China
Plus the extra 10% on potash that U.S farmers need to grow food.
Not to mention rounding up all those illegal aliens who were doing some of that work
I hear that Canada has some pretty nifty farm tech too that is now far more expensive
We are all globally connected, and there us not much Trump can do to change that.
A no-plough seed planting unit I think
We have some hydroponic setup for commercial farming that will blow your mind.
It is quite fascinating.
Amazon and Walmart are going to get hammered on costs
No soil at all is involved.
Yup. Much of Walmart SKU's are from China.
The danger is that he's created this appearance of a problem that doesn't exist. Trade deficits aren't a bad thing, but the terminology gives the appearance of somehting bad
Canada also made a deal with Brazil for juice oranges.
We are 40 million. There us no way in hell we will buy as much from the U.S as they buy from us.
The ability to provide good paying jobs is more related to advancements in technology and investment in science...but he's gutting that. So the US is on course to become less innovative, have less of value to the world, and be protectionist, which will create higher prices for anyone who lives here
But what we send down is top shelf stuff--oil, electricity, potash, aluminum, etc.
The U.S is simply not equipped to produce the same ammount of aluminum that it used to buy from us.
Unfortunately much of the economic detail is beyond the average voter's typical level of interest, so he's getting to destroy a lot of things which will take much longer to manifest as bad
Or nickle, or potash.
It doesn't make sense to produce something if it doesn't lead to good revenue streams and/or good paying jobs
Yup. Fiddling while "Rome" burns.
Well, they simply fo not have the capacity to oroduce ut.
Produce it*
I don't blame the voters so much as I blame congress who've abdicated any responsibility here
I think it will get much worse before it gets better.
nor is anyone likely to invest in building infrastructure to make it here in the US, because it would be very risky to do so knowing that it can be made cheaper elsewhere
Which is why we are scrambling for ither trading oartners.
Please excuse my typing.
They would need to have significant government handouts to make them viable in the global marke
Yup.
which means tax-payer funded. Something he did in the first term to try and offset the pain for the farmers
It makes no sense for any business to move to the U.S at this point in time. Things are so volitile that they will wait.
Yes, the U.S has 340 million vustomers, but the E.U has more.
For sure...business investment requires stability and predictability, and there's none of that here, because Trump appears to be making policy reactively rather than thoughtfully
Brb must take the pups out.
China and India also have more, and have been growing their middle class
Which in theory would ultimately help the US, because then they'd be able to afford US made products
creating more wealthy across more people both in the US and globally makes good business sense. Giving tax breaks to people who don't need to spend more money is the opposite of that unfortunately
reducing innovation and education just means that it becomes harder to obtain wealth. I'm not a huge fan of government mandated education, but I also recognize that many people don't have the resources, and so it provides a mechanism to improve lives for the next generations
Anyways, still have 6 to go here
Yes, ee bets give the chig vack. :)
Wow.
We best give the chog back.
Ty for the chat, mool. You are quite articulate and informative.
Well it's all just opinion...I do try to read as much as I can, but there's always room to adjust
There is always more to kearn.
Learn
Only fools and idiots are 100% sure if themselves.
Wile the learned alway ponder their information.
Wish Babble had auto correct for the chog sometimes. :)
