China wants more talks before signing trade deal phase one

President Trump said that phase one of a trade deal was pretty much done on Friday. Well, it seems like the Chinese would like to talk some more.

Happy Thanksgiving, Canada!

Thanksgiving comes early to Canada. I hope all of our Canadian Shackers have a great day of feasting, boozing, and watching hockey.
