I forgot today was a holiday. I got dressed for work, made my lunch and was about to leave then I realized wait a sec. Today's a holiday isn't it? I don't have to go to work. What an idiot.
I'm not going to flog a dead horse about this American arrogance thing. Nobody likes a bully and nobody respects a bully. That's really all I have to say on the matter. Canada is different than America. We're not better we are different.
Canada assisted in the First and Second world war because it was the right thing to do. It took a false flag attack against pearl harbour to get the Americans involved. Now they are leading the charge in trade wars and oil wars all around the world. Trump is bringing back colonialism and that is not a good thing.
Take a look at Vietnam and the Korean war. Canada assisted in Korea but not in Vietnam. How did that work out for you? A lot of Americans risked their lives and died for the freedom of other countries. That was noble. Bullying other countries and threatening to steal their sovereignty is not noble. There's no way to justify or rationalize that.
Threatening to tariff small countries like Ireland is stupid. It makes things more expensive for Americans. I was leery of this America first movement from day one. It came across as me first f*ck the rest of the world. That's not very Christlike.
The other day on the way home from work I saw a car trying to butt in line and I was going to close the gap until I saw he had a Washington plate on and was an American tourist. So I backed off and gave him some room thinking let's give the visitor some space. Then he was trying to butt in another line and no one was letting him in so he pulled out then cut right in as if to boldly declare me first. Everyone saw his plate and blasted on the horn. Another rude American loudly proclaiming me first.
My father always used to say that's the kind of guy you want In front of you not tailgating you because they're going to cause an accident. He'd wisely say let him pass.
On that note 6AK_TV posted a couple of dash cams of a fatal accident on the old Pattullo bridge. They always used to say that bridge was a death trap and I never understood what they meant. I commuted across that bridge during winter on my motorcycle when I attended chef school for my apprenticeship.
I guess it's because there's no divider between oncoming traffic. If someone crosses over into oncoming traffic that can indeed be fatal but why would they do that?
The dash cam footage is from a semi driving along minding his own business then all of a sudden a testla spins out crossed over into his lane and causes an accident. 3 people died. That's not funny. The other footage is of the pile up after the crash.
The speed limit coming around that corner on the bridge is about 50 K which is painfully slow but the testla was obviously flying way past that before he spun out of control. It was just another me first stupid move. We're not the only people on the planet, we're not the only people on the road. Pride kills.
The Americans knew about Pearl harbour in advance and caused it with their naval blockade. They provoked that attack to justify entering the war. I guess the fact that they were exterminating Jews wasn't a good enough reason for the me first movement.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn’t a Tesla. The Tesla drove past the semi and the sedan who was following behind is the vehicle that crashed. 4 young south Asians in the car. 1 lives 3 died. It’s disgusting the disregard young people have for road safety and speed. Speed kills. Stop being arrogant fools.
ReplyDeleteWhat was the car that crossed over into oncoming traffic in front of the semi? That was the vehicle that caused the accident. Speeding on that bridge is unwise.
DeleteYeah not much room for error there, the Pattulo has been a potential deathtrap since forever. RIP. Their suffering is ended, their families just begun. I can't imagine, and hope I never find out.
