Campaign lumbers on
The campaign lumbers on (nothing to do with wood products or forestry workers). Today, the question of hypothetical airplanes flew, again. Pardon the pun… The promise to buy one model of aircraft was unpromised by another leader, which then saw the other two big time operators claiming that it was the wrong approach. On one side, because we have a contract, which we didn’t have, the last time this question had importance. On the other, because we need to buy something. I’m confused. Doesn’t Air Canada already have too many planes to make a profit. Can’t we privatize, and then scare any enemy with a promise to lose their baggage too… Pardon the low flying attempt at humour.
As you may perceive, I’m tired of people promising the sun, the moon, the stars. It’s my money!
In the world of lies, Volkswagen just got caught out with a biggie. From the various stories I’ve seen, the firmware in their Diesel products carried a blatant lie about the pollution count. Now, one car might not change the world, but fully one quarter of their product line is at fault, and the fines may top $18 billion US. Not a good time to have stock with their logo, I guess.
The local university has a lot of peeved parkers. The administration admits that they sold more passes than they had spots; a basic assumption that the hypothetical 120% occupancy rate wouldn’t be met. However… now that people are leaving their cars on the lawns, in reserved parking lots and on top of crosswalks, the threat of tickets (in addition to the already paid passes) isn’t sitting well. Can’t wait to see how this plays out, particularly when snow starts to accumulate.
