New year, new us. (And new Prime Minister, apparently?) On this week’s TLDR, we comb through the data to figure out where everyone’s been investing their wealth over the past year — and what it tells us about what might be coming up next. And, we look at what the h*ll’s been happening in Canadian politics, and why. Plus, journalist Ben Mathis-Lilley talks us through setting ourselves up for financial success in the year ahead.

So, the U.S. President-to-be threatened to annex us. Not cool. On this week’s TLDR, we look at the stats and ask how our home and native land stacks up against our neighbor to the south. And, we turn the tables and consider which U.S. state(s) could make a nice addition to Canada’s ten provinces. Finally, we get grilled, as Stacey Grenrock-Woods, the creative genius behind the TLDR newsletter’s FOMO index, quizzes the team on the last twelve months of news.

Governments toppled, martial law, the end of internationalism: it’s easy to feel like the world is entering unprecedented territory. And, it’s true: there’s a lot of data suggesting everything's going crazy. But at the same time, there’s a whole lot of data suggesting that, actually, everything is normal and predictable and going well. So what's the truth? On this week’s TLDR, Felix Salmon, Axios’s chief financial correspondent, shares his take. Spoiler alert: not everyone agrees.
