Where do you find these F'd up dishonest news from Twitter all the time?
I would think you are an advanced AI bot if you didn't tell me to "google for myself" once.
This is just blow hard from wannabe she-Trump of AB province.
Frankly, some Canadians from other provinces would see Alberta seceding as a good thing. MAGA-lite is also insufferable.

that might mess the engine up bad

To start, you have to disassemble the propeller and add gear oil to the gearbox. Otherwise, you'll end up with a handful of aluminum shavings.

A minor anecdote, but these communication failures between Chinese manufacturers and Western buyers are typical. In this case, it's because the engine can't be transported with the fluids inside, and the buyer/user was used to buying through a local mechanic who prepared the engine.

It's a nice 2 hp engine to play with because of its simplicity. I don't know anything about engines beyond a lawnmower or a small motorcycle, so it's simply perfect for me.

Assessing means there will be behind the scenes talks. If China just waited another month or so then there will be shortages in the US and China will have in a much stronger position on the negotiation table. Or better yet don't talk at all and just let the US economy rip. America made a serious mistake with Liberation Day and China should not give America the breathing room that she is giving her now.
You have been here long enough and is seasoned enough to know and familiar in how western MSM works. Especially American "news" propagate their information campaign. It's all about maintaining, shaping, weaving a narrative and not at all about NEWS.

It's the exactly same demands: if US want to start talks they must first unilaterally drop all tariffs first.
Its' the same demand for unconditional surrender but worded nicely.

Not sure if this has been posted yet. Some thief thought it would be a good idea to steal from a Chinese tourist so he ended up in a rear naked choke until the the police arrived. All the annoying bjj try hards have to chime in and say how he forgot to get the legs hooked although it was still effective.

China has one UFC champion and three other ranked fighters now. That's more than most countries. I dunno why they think Chinese don't know what the latest tricks are. They really think Chinese still use taichi to fight or some shit.

Well now Vietnamese in the stage of mass use of motorcycle. Funny is when motorcycle from Honda used to expensive(for Vietnamese) then someone import cheap motorcycle from China. It significant cheaper while quality is variable. In short it make those greedy Jap lower their products price. So now every households in Vietnam have at least one motorcycle. Well now i see Yadea electric bike is using alot meanwhile those electric bike from Jap is ugly and expensive again. Hope Yadea can gain large share of market. Fingers crossed.
Piggybacking off your discussion...

There was once hope that Gogoro (Taiwanese e-scooter company) was the big EV hope of the island (low bar, I know)

They talked about SEA expansion in line with the DPP "New Southbound Policy"
However, like the DPP policy, it is now collapsing and was caught sourcing parts from the mainland to save money ("it was a mistake!"... of course it was, just like every other piece of mainland tech on the island, and they lost money anyway...)

I've said it before, but now in light of this, it is even more "sad". There is a huge innovation deficit in Taiwan. The quality of life is stagnant. Mainland people went from bicycles to car ownership, basically skipping motorbikes. The domestic industry didn't even really take ICE leadership and went straight to EV's. EV's that can be affordable for the mass market. Meanwhile on the island, 2-stroke motorbikes are still not banned! They can't even get electric scooters done right... Western sexpats and media, please explain how this "vibrant democracy" cannot create such a simple product to help clean up the polluted air for the citizens?

MAGA-lite is probably worse than the original. Basically like that punk who is 5'6" and goes around telling people his bigger brother can definitely beat them up.

AB isn't really as MAGA as they want to be anyway. They did end up electing NDP before, Calgary and Edmonton are not conservative places. They even have a government-owned (technically not) bank, only one in Canada. And super unlikely at this point to be privatized less they cede control to "Eastern charlatans". All the current bluster is just a classic case of following the trend and the usual anti-Eastern Canada/Ontario sentiment.

I also forgot to rant about this (I know it has been posted before)
Next week they are about to shutdown their last nuclear reactor. This is without building any significant additional generation capacity.

(many quotes from the accused wumao Angelica Oung, lol)
The situation is even worse if you realize that the electricity resources have been mismanaged for decades and not just recently.
