LOVE the CBC. But…Fresh Air is the worst.

Sorry to say but does anyone else feel like the first morning hours of the weekend could be better spent than the vacuous boring drivel that says nothing relevant or meaningful let alone the terrible music that fills the time on air that comes from Fresh Air?

“Ideas” (or something akin) programming would be much better time spent but it’s on in the middle of the night. (And love the night before).

CBC could be doing much more for the nation with something with more substance.

"They wanted dependency, not a true economic partnership" — Carney on the collapse of US-Canada trade talks

Mark Carney just addressed the nation on why Canada walked away from the trade deal with the United States.

The key takeaways:

> "Canada has consistently proposed long-term partnerships, while the U.S. has too often demanded short-term transactions."

> "At the 11th hour, they were still pursuing restrictions on our ability to protect and promote the French language and our culture. They wanted a say in our future trade agreements with other countries."

> "They were asking far too much and offering far too little."

> "The most fundamental issue is that the cumulative U.S. demands revealed that they wanted us to become even more reliant on them, not less. In too many areas, they wanted dependency, not a true economic partnership."

Carney says Canada worked in good faith but the terms would have undermined autos, steel, and forest products — and gave the US a veto on Canada's ability to trade with other countries.

For anyone with cross-border ties — investments, family, business — this is a significant escalation. The trade uncertainty isn't going away anytime soon, and the ripple effects on exchange rates, portfolio allocations, and cross-border planning could be substantial.

3rd Atlas. 26 R

Originally had 2019 Execline (SEL) VR6. Lease ended and went to Honda passport. Did NOT enjoy it after being spoiled by VW drive and tech. Traded that into 23 Highline vr6 (SE tech). Loved it right up till last drive before getting this beauty. Was very hesitant to let go of the vr6 but have to say the 4turbo is very nice. Just sounds tinny vs 6 but the response is very quick. Especially highway speed. Feels more like a rocket sports car.
Still trying to embrace the touchscreen cockpit. But it’s becoming easer each drive. And the shifter is quirky going to PARK. Hit up a couple of times instinctually thinking it was P but goes to reverse. I don’t love the button for ignition right beside the Park button. Very easy to hit the wrong one.

Otherwise such a nice vehicle.
