Mike's Daily Comment
Mike’s still laughing that our elites are appalled at the prospect of Brexit in the aftermath of the UK election. Martin Straith drops by with a big warning for investors. Plus a shocking stat you don’t want to miss with the latest on the biggest financial story of the year – but still no one’s talking about it.
With news of a partial deal in the US, China trade dispute investors, central bankers and US consumers will heave a sigh of relief but I hope not before the rest of us grasp the huge cost of tariffs to individuals and business.
Only the most naive think so. That’s because there are three levels of government and already the just announced federal income tax reductions are more than eaten up by municipal and provincial tax increases.
Traditional politics is on the outs across the world. Brexit and a UK election featuring Jeremy Corbyn vs Boris Johnson was inconceivable just 5 years ago. As was the takeover of the Democratic Party by socialists Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren.
