And that eventually leads to oil prices, sustained inflation, consumer gets destroyed, and we're in a recession by, I originally said end of the year.

The Canadian Investor

Like, I think we kind of made this joke the other day, like when we were on, um, with Zayla from, uh, on the, when we were on the BMO podcast where we were saying like, you know, we do, we talk so much about macro, but like, it feels like it's irrelevant to your world right now because like.
