Don’t even agree with Lakshya here but wouldn’t controlling at least be useful to rule out potential covariants even if you are not able to establish a causal relationship? At least implies partially causal or picking up on some causal factor not in current set of variables (or am I way off)

was hoping to catch it on imax this weekend but looks like thunderbolts took every single (real) screen in the GTA 😡

The average David Shor post reminds of those “find the 3 mistakes in this statistical analysis” assignments from any upper year stats course, you can tell there’s almost never any formal statistics background with these guys it’s infuriating

I don’t really se the conservatives forming government absent a majority, their only chance would be with the bloc and Quebec hates Pierre’s guts. Feels like some combo of a lib/ndp/bloc coalition would be more likely

Ah I see what you mean but most of these companies would be exporting materials to manufacture in US then goods back to Canada I imagine. Another reason now would be a great time to bring back our obliterated domestic manufacturing industries (not holding my breath)

“why would a US company with Canadian operations, who has two feet on either side of this 25%-25% war, need to ding Canadians or Americans for the new tarrifs”
