Aristides

There are lots of pictures of the crash site.

What ways? This is just political gamesmanship on the part of the Conservatives. Either that or they really don't know much about bonds and yields. I hope it is just the former.

An allegedly civilized country awash with guns and people shooting each other. What a f*cking disgrace.

Borrow less. They are still piling on debt even though the Covid emergency is over. They are now borrowing money just to pay the interest on what they already owe. This cannot end well.

I'm not making excuses for anything, I'm just saying there would have been little appetite for long term debt at low interest rates. Before interest rates went up I was buying 1 yr GIC's because I didn't think the slightly better rate for tying up my money longer was worth the risk. I have bought the odd bond that is due to mature this year because of how much they have been discounted and the and tax advantages.

I'm certainly not making excuses for this government's fiscal policies but the idea that they could be selling 30 year bonds at even 1.5 or 2% is very simplistic. I doubt rates will ever be as low as they were pre covid and I think most other investors would agree. If Mexican 30 yr bonds are yielding 10% they must be selling at a huge discount.

In 2022 the yield on a Mexico 30 year bond was just over 10% compared to 3.6% for a Canadian bond.

I don’t know if it’s that simple. Was there a market for 30 yr bonds that only returned 1%. Who would tie up their money for that long for such a low return? I wouldn’t.

No one here is demeaning homemakers. That's just shit you are making up because you can't come up with anything else.

Misogynists are those who talk down to women, not those who think they should have choices. Choices not dictated to them by men like you and Butker.

They flew into a mountain top in very poor weather, so yes.

Bull, no one has said that. You are just making crap up because you have no other way of defending what he said.

Sure they did. No one has said raising kids isn't a good thing. My wife was able to stay at home until our kids were out of elementary school, then she went back to work. Her choice.

What crap. The point is, women should be making those decisions for themselves, not men telling them what they should want to be. They are the ones showing no respect. Regardless of what you macho men say, women will decide for themselves what they think of Butker and there is nothing you can do about it.

That's not what upsets them, it's women being told what they should want to be. Housewife is rewarding to women who want to be housewives. Nothing wrong with that.

No one here has said that.

There seems to be a never ending supply of men who feel entitled to tell women what they should and should not be.

Actually we are seeing more women in occupations such as trades and transportation that were traditionally male.

Don't you think that is for women to decide or are you one of those guys who feel they are entitled to define them?

By telling them they had been scammed and should all want to be homemakers. He probably thinks it is immoral for a woman not wanting to get married and have kids. Perfectly OK for a guy though. Oh, she told me how she felt alright but that was between us.

He spoke down to women. I never presumed to speak for my wife when it came to what or how she felt about her own life.

No such comments for the men in the class. Why does he get to speak for women? By "we are wont to do" he actually means what he is wont to do Good for Mrs Butker but isn't she capable for speaking for herself? She lives with a guy who makes over $4 million a year so I imagine life would be pretty good. Not your average couple.

Who is talking about that? This is about a guy who wants to define a woman's world, that he knows what they should be. Of course he is. He also has to take responsibility for them.

I don't think you were listening to him. Of course he was telling them, why else would he say it. Do you think women should be able to define you or other men. What gives you the right to tell women what they should be?
