@CraigBaird Ironic that the dog that everyone in Newfoundland had, the Water dog, was used to breed the Labrador Retriever.

Newfoundland and Labrador - Newfoundland Dog and Newfoundland Pony: The Newfoundland Dog has been bred on the island for two centuries and is known for its bravery and swimming ability. The Newfoundland Pony has been bred on the island since the 1700s. 🧵 11/15

Almost every province and territory has a Provincial Mammal. These animals represent the history and culture of the province, and are sometimes native to only that province/territory area. These are our provincial mammals! 🧵 1/15

@boates02 @kristinaennis Sure if you say so... Diverts attention away from other critical issues IE, people spending 16 hours in Emergency or government buying land for $20 million it had sold for a small fraction & is well above fair market value. But sure accounting entries are most important.

@kristinaennis @Fostus No. It’s too critical a juncture for this province to have this kind of nonsense going on. The Whelan payments are inexcusable, and the government’s continued defence of it is a sign of gross incompetence.

Why do people keep saying there’s nothing about education in the blue book. It’s page 16 and 17.

@boates02 @kristinaennis Ok, you do realize where the funding for MCP comes from? And we do pay taxes? MCP is a subsidiary of NL Government, we are the shareholders, and there are budgets & accounting which tie these together. Not the first time I would have to explain the basics of public finance.

@Fostus @kristinaennis It’s complete bullshit, and I’d advise you to stop defending it lest you continue to make yourself look like an idiot.

@boates02 @kristinaennis Comes out of exact same pot of $ we all pay into. In essence, people are fighting over accounting entries rather than anything material. How is housing doing? What every happened to 500 new units promised, or $34 MILLION? Those are more important than accounting entries!

@kristinaennis if gov’s record and pace continues as-is right now, the “Blue Book” ain’t worth the paper it’s written on “lowering taxes” = lowering from 7.5c/L to… 7.5c/L “improving healthcare” by funneling MCP funds to a friend of the party …what other horrors await us?

@kaebee23 Simple, smaller and flying under the radar, but steady, long lived and providing a needed service... sounds like a good investment. A few wind generators could be built near the Witless Bay Line, but in moderation and not being an eyesore.

@Fostus Sounds awesome, now we just need more of that.

One of these days people might understand we need other viable options. I fucking doubt it though. Loves their fat wallet from the oil money too much. Keep drilling. 🫠

@kaebee23 Small scale hydro operations are generally more stable, which is a good thing for all of us. This generating station is owned by Fortis, with proper regulation they get a good stable return on investment & we have our lights on without major price fluctuations.

@Fostus No doubt. We just need to explore other options, so the same wallets aren’t getting fattened as ours are emptied.

@minenergybiz This bubble has been a few years in the making, not overnight... just takes an instant to pop.

The volatility of gold mining stocks remains legendary! 🪙⛏️ It can easily swing from a super bull market to a depression in a matter of weeks, as evidenced by the Gold Miners Bullish Percent Index dropping to a new multi-year low following this week's crash. 👇 $GDX $GDXJ

@J_Wise_geology When its a dead cat bounce.

When is the dip not the dip?

@J_Wise_geology When sea is rough stay out, less chances of getting wrecked on rocks trying to avoid storm. Watch out for pirates: Black Bart & Peter Easton Surprising what financial understanding you gain from 400 years of history in Ferryland including piracy, that you don't in academia.

@Fostus well, ya know, have to do something with that university degree.

A technical analyst will pretend to know what is going on today, writing that gold and silver plunge "on profit taking"

@nukefoundland Last course I did through them was the Canadian Securities Course... at the end of the last century in Toronto. Skills are currenty getting used dealing with Sr Buracrats and windfarm scammers...

*deep breath* Let's fucking go

@nukefoundland I bet there is an Argentia connection too... they both docked their Pirate Ships at Purdys Wharf.

UHhhhHHHhghhhhh friggin thread got nuked half way

This morning I filed a complaint via the Superintendent of Securties in Newfoundland against John Risley. Here it is;

@PH_OSINT @CraigBaird Conception Bay is a different story. Many Channel Islanders and others from Southern England immigrated, although Portuguese & Spanish were here before. Seen in names such as Portugal Cove & Spaniards Bay, but Manuels has same spelling as King Manuel en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manuel_I_…

@Fostus @CraigBaird Super interesting… I need to dig in to Western Bay when I get home… the fires revealed a lot of the old rock walls dividing fields.

The Robin Hood of Butter Pot led the Masterless Men of Newfoundland. This society was made up of individuals who sought freedom in the interior of the island, free of British rule. No matter what the British did, they could never catch them. This is their story. 🧵 1/10

@PH_OSINT @CraigBaird The irony, my ancestors in Placentia were the French prior to 1713, several generations were born there, the Irish ones settled in St Marys many decades before the famine. epe.lac-bac.gc.ca/100/205/301/ic… placentiahistory.ca/index.php/hist… heritage.nf.ca/articles/socie…

@PH_OSINT @CraigBaird The Gardens in behind the Butterpot were found by a geologist who was working in there about 30 years ago. I have found a few other sources on the treatment of the Irish youngsters by the British Masters. Ironically, Irish immigrants to Placentia area were treated much better.

@mmeding @KJKLtd If you are a listed company, you require these technical reports for the regulators. But thanks for your comment.

@KJKLtd That’s for a technical report for publishing but not for target definition. But thanks for your comment.

Exploration data processing: 6-12 months manually vs. 2-4 weeks with AI. 90-95% time reduction. Why are most teams still doing it the old way? What's the barrier? #GeoAI #ExplorationGeology

@goldstocktrades I started when gold was $250... was a lot easier to get around back then, was also a lot easier to find under explored silver mines with gold.

During these years I dedicated my entire life to researching and accumulating gold and silver miners. I had a premium newsletter with thousands of subscribers at one point when I was young, healthy and had more time.

@stphnmaher @NS_Grateful Lots of rum came to Newfoundland from St Pierre, France no little game needed. Might be why the French Navy ship stopped into St. John's this week.

@NS_Grateful Won it in the end.

Glad we have a land border with Denmark

@rock_taster I haven't even started mine yet, frost free date is in mid June here due to the ice flow from up north. Starting in a month.

Noticed most of our indeterminate tomatoes have buds today, so time to replant and prune I guess.
