The quotation has been attributed variously, but the idea is that the pursuit of perfection is antithetical to progress. Continuous improvement requires the recognition that perfection has not been achieved - that it is a reasonable but changing goal.

I love watching Knowledge Network, Canadian province BC's public broadcaster. I have been watching rail adventures, tonight an episode about rail travel in Portugal. The Douro valley, the coast...At an artisan ceramic tile studio in Aviero (or Lisbon), this tile was displayed. No kidding.... /2

IMHO no broadcaster, host, *politician*, restaurant server, hospital worker, civil servant, etc. should be wearing an *visible* Christian cross. I am not interested in their choice of religion and I object to their attempt to proselytize or righteously defend their political stances.

Ditto. One day in windy AB where my dad was posted (RCAF), I got my hands on a huge plastic new mattress wrapping (can you imagine the fuss now?), found some rope, and tried to fly it. When it almost dragged me across the schoolyard, my father stepped in.

2/ During the pandemic when some social arrangements were briefly altered, I realized how un-resilient some younger people were - losing their minds because their routines had to change. I recall tweeting about it, wondering how they would have coped with a war in their back yard.

In truth, I was glad that my mother worked, because she didn't seem very happy staying at home. When she wasn't in good sorts, our domestic life was fraught with tension. She worked one evening a week and when she left, my dad and I would breathe a sign of relief. She might also have... /2

Too many of us, including media figures, are too often looking for that βgotcha momentβ. We are interpreting what we experience to fit and are unwilling to acknowledge when we donβt fully understand. This seems to be exasperated by the want of a quick answer always not a thoughtful response.

2/ The job of a political leader is to find the best way forward in the face of new realities, not to pontificate and moralize for the heck of it. If we have no influence over said state actors and have no intention of getting involved, why wave red flags in front of them?

Many complain that facts have faded away in favour of opinion. But, then, many of the same people are addicted to opinion to the point that they want politicians to express opinions that will have zero influence on state actors and that therefore would be useless posturing. /2

Group Plotting to Break Up Canada Reveals Jaw-Dropping Details of Secret Meetings With Trump Teams
Leaders of the Alberta Prosperity Project say they have met with high-ranking Trump officials three times.
βDennis Modry, a co-founder of the group, told NBC News that border security, the Canadian pension plan, taxes, national debt, and the possible currency revamp were on the table. So was the development of an independent militaryβ

"Our president will start a war w/Iran because he has absolutely no ability to negotiate. Heβs weak and heβs ineffective. So the only way he figures that heβs going to get re-elected, and as sure as you're sitting there, is to start a war w/Iran." β DJT, Nov. 2011

What seems to be the issue according to Rath is that the AB Ranchmen's Club elite consider him and his fellow travellers to be loons. But I consider Binnion and Manning to be undemocratic loons, both busy using dark $ and disinformation to pervert our democracy.

βYahoosβ: Preston Manning Claps Back at Alberta Secession Leader | The Tyee
Jeff Rath claimed Manning and influential allies have tried to silence and subvert the separatist movement.
This article is hilarious. "Responsible government" is something Alberta has rarely seen, but apparently the "cowboy yahoos" believe that they have written the book on it. Not unlike the yellow vest yahoos and the clownvoy yahoos.
