“Some people in America are already living under conditions that resemble dictatorship. If you are a law-abiding non-citizen resident who speaks out of turn, the regime can arrest you on the street and attempt to deport you.”

I still can’t get over the fact that they lied about Haitians eating dogs and cats, admitted they lied, and nobody cares.

(it's over)

Similar situation as in Canada, although unlike the US, hiring rate is climbing (labour market is recovering). https://t.co/8apsrFi3GX

Time to retire the "low hire-low fire" description of the labor market. It's "low hire." That's a problem even without layoffs spiking.

If you're going to focus on employment levels just focus on the aggregate. If you had to pay attention to a single indicator from the LFS (the most critical when it comes to the state of the labour market) it's the unemployment rate.

On the recent LFS report (and really all of them): the split between full time and part time jobs doesn't mean much, certainly not over the short run, and it's extremely volatile. And the split is very mechanical: >=30 hours usual hours worked is full time, <30 hours part time.

“This is happening at an unprecedented speed” it is literally not

This stuff irks me. They could very easily publish these job finding and layoff rates going back to 1976 but they don't, for reasons, probably some bullshit about not meeting StatCan's "data quality" standards or whatever. So instead we get inconsistent commentary from them...

Ah, it feels good to always be right.

カナダのトルドー前首相(@JustinTrudeau)がパートナーと来日され、私たち夫妻と昼食をご一緒しました。 総理時代には首相同士何度もお会いし、カナダ訪問時には「日加アクションプラン」の策定など、二国間関係強化に共に汗をかいた仲です。 こうして交友を続けられていることを嬉しく思います。

Very liquid.

Updating my chart of the progression BoC's policy rate for my class, and decided to overlay its estimates for the neutral rate. I think it helps to understand the Bank's thinking, but maybe it's TMI.

Universities carefully adding 4 hour gaps between classes just to waste your entire day.

Oh thank god they're banning Canada 🙏 https://t.co/r5ZbOFLElx

Every country in the world has sent at least one undesirable person to the U.S. over history. This could be used to ban any and all immigrants, entirely arbitrarily. That’s the point.
