17. It's interesting, just yesterday we had members downplaying the possibility of a connection

I perhaps lean a little too hard into thinking every move this administration makes should be considered a result of a backroom deal until evidenced otherwise, but many lean hard the other way thinking that anyone considering the possibility of any seemingly outlandish motive behind this administration’s outlandish acts is a gaging in wishful or conspiracy thinking. I didn’t know anything yesterday but suspected the Mathew Maroun was still fighting the good fight against the Geordie Howe bridge. The family has long wanted to own a second bridge across the border, perhaps this is a path too it for the Maroun enterprises. The least sensational explanation is not always right, especially in these times. Obviously, the most sensational explanation is often wrong also. It pays to have multiple people to look at issues from multiple angles as we all have different background knowledge and biases.
