Also known as alien keys, set-screw wrenches, and hex wrenches, these small tools seem utterly irrelevant – until the moment you need one. Then they are the only solution to the problem.

11 – The federal government announced it was imposing a 25 per cent surtax on some foreign steel products due to “excessive imports” it said were harming the domestic steel industry. The surtax applied to seven products that range from rebar to wire rods.

Overlap joints also allow the assembly of furniture subcomponents, and this joint configuration is a constructive solution to facilitate the laser welding process and to allow the development of new piece designs that maximize the productive capabilities of laser welding technology. This is because its implementation permits the elimination of butt joints, which facilitates the positioning of the components.

8 – Holocaust survivor Philip Riteman, who spent 30 years speaking to young people about his experience in concentration camps and ardently urging love over hate, died in Halifax at the age of 96.

13 – Calgarians headed to the polls in a plebiscite on whether the city should host the 2026 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games. More than 56 per cent voted no. Calgary city council voted unanimously on Nov. 19 to wind up the bid corporation.

7 – Federal officials said not one highly endangered North Atlantic right whale had died as a result of a ship strike or fishing gear entanglement during the summer fishing season in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. The Fisheries Department said restrictions put in place to protect the species following a dozen deaths in Canada the previous year were a success.

25 – The Russian coast guard fired upon and seized three Ukrainian naval vessels sailing from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov. Russia, which annexed Ukraine’s Crimean Peninsula in 2014, charged that the Ukrainian boats entered its territorial waters without permission. World leaders condemned what they described as unjustified use of force by Russia and urged it to release the ships and their crews.

I offer this story as further evidence about how the tariffs are working, or not working, within North America.  Further to Jan's informative comments on this previously, it is interesting to see some of the corporate wrangling that is going on here.  I think it's a pretty well written article with a relatively, relatively, minor political slant.  Anyone care to break it down further based in information/knowledge you may have?

16 – The federal government introduced legislation to ban the practice of isolating prisoners who pose risks to security or themselves. Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale said the bill would replace solitary confinement with “structured intervention units” where inmates removed from the general population would maintain their access to rehabilitative programming, interventions and mental-health care.

This aligns with Tesla’s strategy of using mostly steel on the cheaper Model 3 rather than an aluminum-intensive body design like those of the Model S and Model X. By contrast, the probably over-ambitious BMW i3 had a body structure made entirely of carbon fiber, but that, according to Car and Driver, may be a thing of the past thanks to battery advancements, quoting head of BMW’s i Division Robert Irlinger as saying:

Part of the reason for continuing demand for expensive goods is that those goods are complex, and thus require a high level of integrated skill to produce.  For example, take the conundrum of massive cruise ships, the stuff of Costa Concordia size, now being built at 140,000 tons, a floating city of 5,000 guests and another 2,500 staff.  These monsters are invariably built up an obscure North German River, the Ems, at the town of Papenburg, at the Meyer Werft shipyard, which has been around in the Meyer family since 1795  (the current CEO is Jan Meyer, no surprise).  Here in this tiny town you have this monster shipyard with 3,300 men building the world's cruise ships.  German (and danish) shipwrights will earn easily the equivalent of $50,000/year each; the men in yards in Romania are paid $2,500./year, and in say Poland perhaps $4,000./year.  So the logical approach you would think would be to build the hull (if not the entire ship) in Romania, then tow it up to Germany or Denmark and do the outfitting there.
