Highly recommend exploring quebec and the maritimes (try the lobster supper). The only barrier is that domestic flights out there is pretty pricey in the summer (especially newfoundland!) and in some instances europe is cheaper.

Having spent a few years living in Ontario and travelling up and down the 401, I agree with Westopher about Montreal being seriously awesome. Toronto has its charms, and Niagara Falls is a place you'd want to experience at least once (and maybe not more than once lol~), but Montreal is definitely a place I'd want to return to every now and then.
And while you're there already, to me, it makes no sense if you don't also spend some time in Ottawa and Quebec. Ottawa is a little over 2 hours away (by car), and Quebec is ~3+ hrs, and both places are fantastic for tourists in different ways.

Yes if you’ve only been to Montreal one time it’s cool. I’ve gone 15 times now and it’s pretty lame. Old port is pretty nice but the rest of it is Zzzzzz.
The big ass church on top of the hill took my money and was suppose to spit out a rosary or something. It didn’t do that so I started smacking it and some church police fucker came out yelling at me.
Schwartz sucks. Crack whore Prostitutes all around that area. Those bagels are stupid too not worth the lineup.
I’ve explored everything in and around the city that I’ve ended up driving to Burlington Vermont last time because I was so bored. Went to Bernie’s home town for lawls.

Great driving roads.
A few nights in Nova Scotia south shore, then drove up to take an overnight ferry to Newfoundland where I visited Gros Morne national park which was amazing (totally blows any provincial park in BC out of the water), back down to drive the amazing Cabot trail, across to PEI and then flew back from Halifax.
I've seen flights go for around $300-$350 occasionally. Highly recommend.

President Dumbass 47 is a fool. He really thinks that he can extract concessions with tariffs by starting a trade war with three countries?? Canada, Mexico, and China are implementing retaliatory tariffs across the board.
Good luck trying to bully three countries at the same time.
The U.S. economy is gonna bleed out into a recession because of this moron.

Edit: It's real  | dismantling USAID because they spend money helping other countries is hurting farmers in america.
USAID buys billions in food from US farmers and distributes it to those countries. farmers will have a revenue shortfall of a few billion.
guess who farmers voted for by in large?

There are lots of good reasons to punish, or at least contain, China. There are no good reasons to pick fights with us and Mexico.
And btw, Dumba$$ 47 is still planning on imposing import tariffs to all other trading partners, unless they sign "bilateral" deals that are lobsidedly in favour of the US, right?

Just looked at Bambu Labs 3D printers. US price for the A1 is $379 USD in Canada it's $439 CAD so $302 USD. The average American is going to get fckd hard with no lube.

Well the American could come up to buy it in Canada. Win for the Canadian retailer, and win for the American (assuming he doesn't get hit with a tariff when bringing it back across the border), and L for the US retailers!

What about a specific tariff on American made Teslas that are exported to Canada?
Add a 20 percent tariff to them? Make that Swasticar/Musk Mobile more expensive to sell here?
Elon is super rich. He can afford to lose a couple billion with Tesla stock tanking big time now.

when you say he can afford it i mean you're not wrong, he will not take some kind of lifestyle hit or anything. he's still going to be eating at expensive restaurants and having personal chefs, jets, yachts, etc...
what he could lose if tesla only has the US market to sell to is his power and reputation as the worlds richest man. he only acts the way he does because he has fuck you money. he can just try to buy out any opposition to him and his brands. 1B, 10B, 44B... doesn't really make much difference to him.

Tank Tesla and his wealth diminishes significantly. A lot of these uber rich people don't actually cash out their stocks, what they do is borrow against them. Once his "collateral" runs out of value to borrow from he'll have to come down to earth.

the only issue is that tesla stock price is so divorced from reality that even if they arent making money anymore people will still be buying it.
i think the thing is the board doesnt want to dump elon because they know that if the stock price of TSLA was tied to it's performance as a car company not to elon musk, it could tank even more dramatically.

Tariff them 100%. It's basically putting a tariff directly on the presidents company. Europe is already shifting away from it. His support for the AFD has pissed off a huge amount of wealthy Europeans.
Tesla will be fucked long term as Americans are also shifting away from it. Most of the republican supporters through all of this shit don't have Tesla money.
It won't matter to him long term as he will now just take taxpayer money for space x to takeover the FAA, but long term that won't continue unless they essentially rip up the constitution to keep power following this presidency.

Tesla has a P/E ratio of 133 while Google is at 22, Amazon is 37, Microsoft is 31, and Toyota is 7. Tesla should be somewhere between Toyota and the tech companies so like 13 (a tenth what is it now).

| Tesla's Australian sales continue sharp decline as global troubles mount Quote: |
Tesla’s sales slump in Australia has deepened, with the electric car maker recording just 1,592 deliveries in February—down more than 70% compared to the same month last year. The drop follows a dismal January, when the company sold only 739 vehicles, its worst monthly result in years.

Tesla sales is already down something like 50% across Europe. USA is at a point where they have reached equilibrium and on top of that the usual Tesla demographic is at odds with what Musk is doing. I can't imagine Tesla being hugely popular in China right now either when a) they have competitive EVs and Tesla doesn't have the headstart in that market like they do elsewhere, b) I can't imagine the tariffs on China being popular. I would say give it 6 months if he keeps it up his act for Tesla sales to tank massively and start affect their balance sheet, and therefore their stocks.
