Ronald

An ironic parody of the words made famous by President Ronald Reagan. The terror is mine. The respect remains for the President.

@bjdobson08 @TristinHopper Yup. An old forestry buddy said FN & forestry companies had agreements on how to burn. Until the NDP prohibited it. Very helpful. 😬

@ryangerritsen When someone suggests “lean in,” this is a prime example. Has anyone ever told a mechanic to “lean in?” 😬

@SirDouginton69 @_martindetours @dixietrigger @best_clips__ Quite probably correct. But lots of young people have had to learn the hard way. My concern is those 35 & older who seemed to have learned entirely the wrong lessons in the last couple decades. Undoing that will be painful.

@bobmackin Alternatively, an EV fire will engulf a bunch of cars on a Spirit class BC Ferries boat. Potential loss of life & many months of multiple-sailing ferry lineups ensue. Every EV fire after that will make news.

Green trees & catastrophe. Seems perfectly symbiotic of “Greenest City” Vancouver. EV charging in Kerrisdale.

@LPZolob @mutanttoad Right. Obviously there’s no middle ground position. Canada used to be the world standard at the “middle way.” What’s our standard now?

@truecanadian867 @JarrydJaeger I agree. The situation on the developer’s side is this deal is a benefit or they wouldn’t do it. Are you saying because it is a good deal for the govt compared to building themselves that it can’t be termed a “bailout?”

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@truecanadian867 @JarrydJaeger True. But by definition, if developers sell to govt it is because they believe they are getting a better deal overall than merely riding out the market. No?

@hutchings_ruth @mutanttoad Isn’t that the point, nothing is getting done? Carney seems to be playing Trumps game. Canada used to step around the absurdity rather than getting dragged into it. And Trump is the master of the absurd.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@kab1824 @mutanttoad I agree that Trump has provoked Canada so skip the name calling. I just don’t see how provoking back helps us, other than for internal political reasons.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@DailyHiveVan “…has served as a colourful symbol of acceptance and inclusion.” I’d say the evidence now suggests the contrary is also true.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@rohanarezel Absolutely. The combination of weight, speed, & effortless incompetence is a hazard to anything slower & lighter.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@AlwaysAlberta @officersmess If you can’t march, can’t even salute properly, shrieking is normal, & leadership thinks this level of competence is worthy of public viewing? Jesus. Boy Scouts are a more dangerous team.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@alanfryermedia Slight correction. The FU was from the courts to both the VPD & the people for releasing that deviant so quickly. VPD just made the court’s contempt for public safety more transparent.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@PrincipatusCap @RichardDias_CFA Too true. Canada could learn from the American example of how Chinese industrial policy hollowed out US manufacturing but instead deliberately follows European manufacturing decline? While simultaneously alienating Dem allies over Chinese EVs? As you said, the problem is us.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@PrincipatusCap @RichardDias_CFA So, so true, unfortunately. Imagine Canadians thinking the Executive Branch is suddenly going to give up its foreign policy powers because Congress changes hands? Especially with Trump. Persistent ignorance over time is rarely a winning approach.

[Ronald @TerrifyingWords]

@PrincipatusCap @RichardDias_CFA Yah, sarcasm doesn’t work well here. I think the “strategic partnership” with China, and the “New World Order” centred in China or EU depending on who is listening can only undermine any moral leverage we once had. Not too many Democrats are pro-Chinese integration or investment.
