It is sobering to think that, in less than a week, the United States may begin an ominous shift from Canada's closest and most important ally to one of our most serious national security challenges. For the first time in more than a century, when Canadians think of the country most likely to adversely affect their safety and well-being, their eyes may turn south.

This is not exaggerated partisan rhetoric. Donald Trump is hostile to NAFTA — the foundation of our current bilateral trading relationship ... Читать дальше...

It has been a while since an election result was so shocking to investors that it triggered a big sell-off in markets.

The S&P 500 has been "loosely tracking" odds that Hillary Clinton will win next Tuesday's election, according to Capital Economics' Andrew Hunter.

But stocks fell, and polls tightened in Donald Trump's favor, after news Friday of further FBI scrutiny into Clinton's use of a private email server while she was secretary of state.

While the rest of the country grapples with soaring incarceration rates and overcrowded prisons, New York City has managed to buck the national trend and slash both its prison population and its crime rate, a recent study published in the Federal Sentencing Reporter found.

Over the last 20 years, the city's jail and prison incarceration rates declined by 55% while serious crime dropped by 58% — meanwhile, the city's population jumped by more than one million people.

The reason for those "remarkable" numbers... Читать дальше...

You can live with scratches on your car — but you shouldn't.

Scratches are like the old torture of death by a thousand cuts. Eventually, they'll destroy your car's finish by allowing rust to develop. And like the great Canadian poet said, rust never sleeps.

Neil Young references aside, I recently suggested two ways to repair scratches. While I was dispensing this basic advice, it occurred to me that I had a scratch (or two or three or 12) on my own car... Читать дальше...

Barbara Byrne is a powerful force on Wall Street.

A vice chairman in investment banking at Barclays, she has spent three decades years in finance and advised on a number of high-profile deals.

But as a woman, she says, it can be "difficult to survive." 

"I'm one of the most senior women on Wall Street because I am simply still standing," Byrne said on Friday at an event for women in media hosted by the Mayor's Office of Media and Entertainment.

"In my world, as a woman, you can get tired," she said.

In the summer of 2007, a US Navy carrier strike group of approximately 20 ships was decimated while on patrol in the Middle East. Some 20,000 sailors were killed.

The group, comprised of an aircraft carrier, five amphibious ships, and several cruisers, was overwhelmed by a swarm of fast attack boats laden with explosives, missiles launched from ground sites, and low-flying aircraft. The assault was "over in five, maybe ten minutes," Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper said at the time. Читать дальше...

One bite from an infected mosquito gives you a pretty good chance of catching malaria.

But raise the number of infected mosquitoes and — without some sort of prophylactic or experimental vaccine — infection is basically certain.

"Five bites will infect 100% of you," says Dr. Sean Murphy, an assistant professor of laboratory medicine at the University of Washington and an investigator at the Malaria Clinical Trials Center (MCTC) at Seattle Biomedical Research Institute. Читать дальше...

Everyone loves Slack.

Its incredible founding story, popular CEO, and beautiful app turned the $3.8 billion startup into a press golden boy over the past two years.

But the narrative is about to change.

In just the past week, Slack was hit pretty hard from all angles: a potential marketing blunder, a sudden executive departure, and lagging product innovation — not to mention a new rival in Microsoft.

Even in Silicon Valley’s move-fast culture, Slack’s... Читать дальше...

The winner of the U.S. presidential election is up in the air. The sure thing – a Hillary Clinton victory – is no longer a sure thing. And the uncertainty is upsetting markets.

In the meantime, investors in U.S. markets can look at the broad policy prescriptions of both candidates to anticipate what sectors might benefit – or be cut off at the knees.

If Hillary Clinton wins

By all accounts, Eddie Redmayne is killing it. But we're not talking about his numerous acting awards, including the Best Actor Oscar he won in 2015.

ISTANBUL (Reuters) - Turkish police used water cannon and tear gas against crowds of protesters in Istanbul on Saturday, a Reuters cameraman at the scene said, in an attempt to block them from marching to the office of an opposition newspaper whose staff had been arrested.

The protest in central Istanbul came hours after Turkish authorities ordered the formal arrest of nine staff members of the opposition Cumhuriyet newspaper and detained more pro-Kurdish officials... Читать дальше...

Chipotle's new burger joint looks nothing like Chipotle. It does, however, look suspiciously similar to many of its competitors.

Chipotle opened the first Tasty Made location opened in Lancaster, Ohio, last week, and there's a lot at stake. The company is betting big on the success of its two spinoff brands, Tasty Made and Pizzeria Locale, as its sales continue to tank.

But initial reviews of Tasty Made aren't great. The location has a two-star rating on Yelp, and... Читать дальше...

Miami (AFP) — For decades, older Cubans have loved to talk politics as they played dominoes and slapped tiles down on the board. And they were almost uniformly Republican.

But in this election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, they are torn. 

The Republican Trump now talks a good game on opposing the communist regime in Havana, and this sits well with older Miami Cubans.

However, his tough and often nasty comments about immigrants, Mexicans and other Latinos, do not. Читать дальше...

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has been a cash cow for Disney since it kicked off with "Iron Man" in 2008. 

Having made over $10 billion worldwide to date, the franchise's latest film, "Doctor Strange" (opening Friday), looks to continue that trend with a projected opening weekend of between $65 million and $70 million.

And the critics seem to love the MCU, too.
