BREAKING: The wealthiest 1% of US earners now own 50.1% of US equity and mutual fund holdings. To put this into perspective, their ownership stood at 40.1% in 1990 and 39.6% in 2001. At the same time, the next 9% wealthiest households own 37.3%, and the middle 40% own just 11.7%. By comparison, the bottom 50.0% of earners hold just 1.1%. As a result, the top 10% of earners now own ~87.4% of all equity and mutual fund assets. Asset owners are the only winners in this economy.

On the surface, matching tariffs dollar for dollar looks tough: 3/4 of everything Canada exports goes to the US, and those goods account for about 1/5 of Canadian economy. The same trade is only worth about 1% of America’s. But Canada is a great middle power whose advantage lies in having flexible, polyamorous relations. China can pick up the slack and blunt the bite of those tariffs. It’s been going in that direction - the new Pacific pipeline, ginger steps on Chinese EVs, more canola exports etc. However, opportunistic volumes are not true diversification. With the weight of experience, Canada needs a supply-side shift that treats China as a long-term partner. Such structural change is hard and politically cumbersome. It still has to be done. Start by scrapping the EV restrictions which is largely protectionist of American interests. Build Chinese auto factories instead. Take in Chinese machinery and parts (which are the top US-Canada trade), expand Pacific routes, and buy Great Wall wine. Today is the chance to discuss a free-ish trade agreement. Quit the virtue signalling that always ends up in fruitless bickering. What actually matters is mutual prosperity.

The 56 Men Who Pledged Their Lives, Fortunes, and Sacred Honor: On July 4, 1776, 56 brave men signed the Declaration of Independence. They knew that if they failed, they would be hanged as traitors to the British Crown. In the final sentence of the document, they declared: “And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor.” These were not wild-eyed radicals. They were lawyers, merchants, farmers, doctors, and men of means and education. Many had everything to lose. Their Sacrifices Were Real: - 9 signers died during the Revolutionary War from wounds or the hardships of war. - 5 were captured by the British and brutally tortured as traitors. - 12 had their homes completely ransacked and burned to the ground. - 17 lost everything they owned. Several had wives and children imprisoned or killed. Two lost sons in battle; another had two sons captured. Many were hunted, driven from their homes, and forced to live in hiding. Some notable examples: Francis Lewis (New York): His wife was imprisoned and tortured by the British. She never recovered and died soon after. Richard Stockton (New Jersey): Dragged from his bed in the middle of the night, imprisoned, and his home burned. Thomas McKean (Delaware): Forced to move his family constantly to avoid capture. Carter Braxton (Virginia): A wealthy merchant who lost almost all his ships and fortune supporting the war. He died in poverty. John Hart (New Jersey): His home was destroyed, his farm ruined, and he was forced to hide in caves. He returned to find his wife dead and children vanished. NOT ONE of them backed out. NOT ONE defected. NOT ONE betrayed the cause. They gave everything so that a new nation founded on liberty could be born. This Independence Day, remember the price these 56 men and their families paid. They didn’t just sign a piece of paper. They risked everything for the idea that “all men are created equal” and "endowed by their Creator" with unalienable rights. Freedom is not free.🇺🇸
