Genuine question: do you believe that the immediate bow to Trump's tariffs had anything to do with the context of the `Two Michaels` and attempting to gain favour with the US amidst the political tension that Canada was in with China at the time?
At the time it was puzzling to me why Trudeau was so submissive regarding China. He bowed down to the CCP and wasn't able to secure the `Two Michaels` release. In retrospect, that might have been because of the double allegiances the Trudeau cabinet held toward China [0] [1].
He did a great job for Boeing's shareholders (me included) and the CCP. Just, not for the Canadian public it seems!
Other: I'm preparing for the interviewing process because I want the ideal job so I don't have to do this again for a long time.
Current state: overall decent job with fair compensation, good group, semi-interesting set of problems to solve. Ultimately, though, nothing outstanding (Canada-based thus compensation could be more competitive, field itself is not interesting). I'm also not greatly experienced (barely intermediate).
Regardless, I'm ambitious and want a dreamy job so I can focus on learning important stuff (not leetcode solutions) and build cool stuff.
Aside: the interview process, particularly based on the monthly "Who's Hiring" threads, is pretty disparate, so prepping is a broad task! I swear it's more than just code puzzles and a portfolio.
