I think your assessment of the triumvirate is pretty well on mark.. I do think Mr. Xi pulls most strings.. Mr. Putin some.. and Mr. Trump does the jig for both... but it plays well at home to Mr. Trump's audience sadly.. who are a tad myopic .. Still interested in seeing how succession goes in the Middle Kingdom.. I can feel Mr. Xi thinking dance you fool behind his somewhat smirky smile :) While he keeps Mr. Putin close .. as the saying goes :)

Covid pretty well put lights out on rising rates .. which already had nothing but token upward pressure if that.. ...Interesting that as Canada's GDP craters.. Consumer spending surges.. Now that cannot be by those that really needed the hand up to get buy.. but the others... In the end will be very interesting as it is tied to CRA (income tax) .. Down stream may be unpleasant for the scammers who could easily carry their mortgages but bought hot tubs and new whatever with CERB money... since the CERB is taxable and no with holding tax was placed on it.. Home prices going to moon for now in Toronto.. really stupid silly.. No government has true will to reboot infrastructure as needed.. because retrofitting is difficult.. and costly compared to new build.. they say improving city but are building out suburbs faster than ever... Muni taxes so relatively low in Toronto... That will not last.. Gov sees a big revenue stream in inflated home prices... and sardine can new homes in boonies...

I suspect Ms. Meng may eventually come home a hero to the revolution :)
