With undefined game rules
Is there something worse than playing a game where the rules are changed in mid-match. Think of Monopoly, when the banker decides how the money part works on a whim. Or a soccer game, where the goal posts are in flux. How about government?
Yes, how about government, Ontario? I understand your premier believes that a simple majority takes precedence over any other guidelines. He (his name is Doug, so I’m making an assumption) has decided that the system of “rules of order” doesn’t work for him, so he will change them. Coupled with the discovery of the notwithstanding clause (despite sound advice from many of his peers and predecessors), he’s figured out that there really is a super-player mode available in the game of legislation. Hold on to your hats, folks; the next while will be innovative.
Meanwhile, I’ve learned a new rule of home cooking. When faced with cheap meat, for the BBQ, simply adding a jar of cheap marinade is not foolproof. Seems that the char temperature of meat soaked in oil and vinegar is unrelated to best practices. We had supper, and the meat was well-cooked, and it looked it! I don’t mind soot, but there were remarks at the supper table. I blame the commercial product, as I’ve never faced this with my own homebrew version of a marinade. Next time.
My video feed from hurricane central has ended. I now have a shot of a beach, with no sense of scale. No trees. No wharf. Am I observing a major storm, or a tempest in a teapot?
