Hill to die on?

Noun. hill to die on (plural hills to die on) (idiomatic) An issue to pursue with wholehearted conviction and/or single-minded focus, with little or no regard to the cost and no intent of equivocation or compromise.

Who's claiming that? In my post I'm suggesting that if we're moving to more global trade we would consider using the UOMs of the rest of the world.
International trade can be thought of at the global or national level, but it exists at the individual company level. Any company that wants to trade with diversified (aka non-American) markets will, of necessity, have to tool or re-tool to the requirements of the customer. It may entail two product lines. We are never going to completely be economically divorced from the US. Forcing domestic consumers or domestic-supplying industry to switch to some EU standard 'just cuz' makes little sense.
 
PS: And thank you CCP for upping the ante on that... /s

The Conservatives tossed 3 candidates today on controversial statements, with a fourth speculated coming in Newfoundland.

They did well to take coverage away from this Chiang story. I wonder if the parties are dropping the dirty laundry on the other now.
 
From the UT News Roundup this morning...


(Pay walled! Sorry.)

...it is my hope once Carney establishes his party after a hopefully electoral win that he would make sure that burdens of the "Liberation" tariffs are not passed on to the consumer. Or at least made sure that they have as little effect and impact on the same as possible. It's not the consumers' trade war and they shouldn't be having to flip the bill for it...and the article above suggest they will be in an example, IMO. /sigh

Buried leed there that it is only about self-employed workers, and the banks have have always made it difficult for them to get mortgages and make them jump through many paperwork hurdles already. Not much is changing here.
 
What do you guys make of this photo of Mark Carney riding the London Tube to work from his BoE days? It was supposedly taken back in 2013.

Photo appears to be more genuine than the one Trudeau posted of himself riding the Toronto subway.

Nardwuar is the best. Never would have figured Carney to be a Clash fan!
(Now back to watch the rest of this)
 
^I like this to be true, but I have to ask how much of the claims are vetted for here?
