@stuartlosaltos Nah. Never assign that which can be explained by expediency to some sort of genius. It looks bad ‘cos it is bad.

@adriandix @G_Anderson1 @bchydro You were the guys who campaigned on stopping Site C.

@gobagel @TristinHopper I’m deeply offended by that generalization!

Nah, not really. Some of us are Generation Jones. So we got invited to a bomber house party but showed up an hour before the cops arrived. And then got stuck with the cleanup.

@Dred_Tory Commend him for knowing that CDN’s are smart enough to see that he is gaslighting Trump & that the gaslighting is in our interests. Sometimes it’s better to be smart than right.

@PubliqueJo @JasJohalBC A bridge is orders of magnitude simpler from a tunnel when it comes to engineering & construction. It might have been delayed & over budget but it wouldn’t be anything like this.

@KGrahamContent The most popular sport doesn’t care if you don’t like it.

@politicalham Amazing to me that the same people who think Hecate Strait is too dangerous don’t blink an eye when talking about Hudson’s Bay.

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@Dred_Tory Catastrophic.

@SherrieLyn70699 @RealKrysKo @TorontoStar Doesn’t change the fact that a whole bunch of leading indicators are positive before.

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@JustHoldingOn9 @SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar Nope. But it it is an indication where it might go. When all 4 of the leading indicators I mentioned are positive, it’s really good sign.

@RealKrysKo @SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar Trudeau put us here & it looks like Carney is getting us out. Crazy, eh?

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@RealKrysKo @SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar Leading indicators versus trailing.

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@RealKrysKo @SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar Yup. No disagreement from me. Justin Trudeau was the worst Prime Minister in my lifetime. And I’m old. Drove us into a ditch. But as per the 4 indicators I mentioned, we are climbing out of it.

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@RealKrysKo @SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar The 4 points I made are leading indicators. The point you’re making- it’s true, btw -is a trailing one. The 1st have to turn positive before the last one can. Imagine the world’s biggest battleship: It takes a while to change direction even after you turn the rudder.

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@RealKrysKo @SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar Which of the four points I made isn’t true?

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@SherrieLyn70699 @TorontoStar TSX Index is outperforming the S&P500, Maple Bond issuance is at all time high, offtake agreements for CDN LNG are in place, the TMX is at 100% capacity… We’ll be OK.

@Industrious112 @TristinHopper Inter-sectarian conflict has been happening in Iran for a whole longer than the United States has been a country. Crazy thing is Trump may have strengthened the hardliners.

[Mike Ball 🇺🇦🇨🇦 @mpalota54]

@Dred_Tory I don’t think it’s that fringe. I’ll allow I may be wrong but I think there’s a quiet undercurrent that includes more people than you might believe that are “disaffected” by aspects of the Administration’s behaviour. And maybe those voices will get louder as Iran drags on.

@pezz65848 @theresemacdona6 @kshahrooz Suggesting the Holocaust is the fault of the Jews might be something you should reconsider.
